I didn't see the Lucic huge hits or any Oilers flinching. I recall two very standard bodychecks but he was credited with 4 hits and was 7th in ES icetime so coaches saw something they liked.
People that are unhappy with Lucic's game aren't suggesting he go ape####.
At this point I guess you just have to accept he is a plodder. He's not going to make any plays but he also plays pretty safe and rarely turns it over.
