Here's what I said.
"Winning is fun. I hope Lucic goes out with this gold medal as his farewell to the game. Great guy, just not a very good hockey player anymore."
Lucic is a great guy. I hope the player goes out while on top. There is nothing more pathetic than watching a guy try and milk a couple more years out of the game when they clearly cannot get it done. The smart thing is to recognize when that time is as a player. This is a high point in a season of low points. Use that high point and go out on your terms, not be forced into retirement by a string of PTOs. Lucic can now go out with some success or he can try and go out full Tom Brady. I'd like to see him retire on top and with some grace.
Time and place.
