Only Tkachuk and Lucic are capable of it. That's why he's out there. Mangiapane and Dube cannot play that role.

As I said in one of my previous posts, I recall one specific play Saturday when Lucic was screening the goalie and when the shot was coming in he got out of the way. To me that's ridiculous.
The no fighting thing, okay. I don't expect him to just grab somebody ala Kassian and go nuts. But he's gotta be physical, go to the net, screen the goalie and make life miserable for both the goalie and the d-men. If he's going to bail on screens too then he's really not bringing much in games like the BOA.
