Others think he should be roaming around looking for a goon hit.The refs were extra communicative about nothing in scrums, and outside of Gagner's spear towards Talbot there was not much post whistle even so far as pushing in either game.
And, it doesn't work that way anymore. For all the crying for blood of Tkachuk's, no Oilers did anything, not even Kasssian, when they shared the ice with him after all the hits that same game. If Gios hit on McDavid was even 10% as serious to the players as it is to the idiot fans and press made it out to be, Gio would've had a busy night the rest of that night and on Saturday. But he didn't..and Lucic is supposed to conger up some fake beef with some Oiler, and goon them to get attention? And that would make Flames fans happy?
I hate the Oilers as much as anyone on this board, and to see them lay 8 on us is horrific. Wasting time and analysis on why Lucic didn't randomly try and fight unwilling parties during his 12 minutes on the ice, while giving a pass to the terrible goaltending by Rittich, the invisible 1st and 3rd line, and a fire drill of defense that night, makes the fanbase look as petty, unitelligent and unaware as the Oilers fans who filter all their knowledge through what their press tells them.

Looking for a 'goon hit'..... the guy had Nurse lined up (was a D, pretty sure it was Nurse), with what would have been a clean check and let up... remember a second one where he did the exact same thing. Looks and reaks of someone who didnt want to mix it up with his old buddies. Why does he have to conjur fake beef or goon it up to finish his checks? In the most physical season series we've seen in decades. If anything answer me that.
