He most certainly is not an Oliwa, a McGrattan, a Godard, etc, etc.
Do I wish he creamed some more Oilers with some hard checks? Of course. Do I expect him to be fighting all the time? Nope.
I think some people don't seem to understand Lucic's role in the league.

Yeah thanks tips.....im very aware of what and who he is.
He is the best fighter in the NHL who could play every shift. No that wasn't/isn't his primary role playing at any level, but it most certainly is a part of it, and even more now that his others skills have evaporated.
He did nothing in the two most emotionally charged physical hockey games this club has played in a regular season in the last many years and against the single biggest rival this club has or ever will have. Totally detached by his actions.
A complete no-show.
That's simply not good enough.
Oh, and he excels at absolutely nothing anymore. He just finished proving that as clear as he could.
