Yep, as I said in the previous thread, Lucic certainly still has the ability to surprise people. I think he got himself a little bit of redemption on all those that thought he was a useless bum. The dude is no Matthew Tkachuk, but he hasn't lost the smarts or the deft hands for a big man.
Personally, I still think he's got a little bit left in the tank. Just put him on the right line and he can still be a factor. He can't be that 4th line guy trying to drive a line, that's not him. He's a complementary player who can make the occasional slick pass, play strong below the hashmarks and crowd the crease. Good on him for taking advantage tonight, dude has had a rough month.
