Nurse has already fought Lucic, but that is besides the point.
I'm not sure what people are expecting Lucic to do. Many Calgary fans didn't like the Kassian take down on Tkachuk, but are kind of expecting Lucic to do the same?
It's not like the Oilers were bullying the Flames over the last couple of games. With the exception of Tkachuk vs Kassian, and Smith vs Talbot, the other fights featured Oilers that were significantly smaller than their Flame counterparts. RNH vs Monahan, Bear vs Tkachuk, Khaira vs Buddy. All those guys gave up size.
I'm sure if a Flame wants to go back after Gagner he'll be happy to oblige, but its not like they really need Lucic for that.
