Good character guy, knows when to scrap, and has years of experience that is important for the younger guys. Haven’t heard anything negative about him as a teammate or person. And honestly I’d need to see the advanced stats on his play but I don’t think he’s the albatross out there some of you make it seem.
I get it, he’s on the tail of his career and he’s overpaid. Again, we knew that going in, it was the best option and he’s been way better than Neal. Can we stop relentlessly ####ting on the guy every ####ing thread?

Couldn’t agree more.
It’s even worse on Twitter too. So many of these 20 something wanna be Flames bloggers publicly bashing Lucic non stop and then using the fact that he blocks them as some stupid type of badge of honor.
Same goes for Sutter and Treliving. Everyone of these dudes were kissing the ground those two walked on in the summer and have now been demanding they are both fired since game 20.
It’s part of a bigger issue, but these types have no foundation for analysis and only care about instant gratification.
