If there is, I've gotta think that Lucic is one of the leaders in this area...
The third goal (Lindholm) tonight owed a lot to him, and he was even a big influence on Gio's goal...
I've just been totally impressed with his season. He's becoming one of my favourite Flames this season.

Lucic doesn't show up much on the scoresheet, but he contributes a ton on the forecheck. Just go back and watch AC's compilation of Lucic from last year and the things he does in the offensive zone far outweigh some of the drawbacks of his game. He's been even better this year than last too, you're definitely not wrong. Quality third line grinder with some offensive flair that gives his all nearly every night.
