I'm thinking a Lucic jersey may be in order, especially to p*ss of the Oiler in-laws... I was seriously not a fan when the trade was made, but it's aging much better than I ever expected.

I got a Neal jersey the summer we signed him and a Lucic jersey the summer we traded for him. Both were gambles but one paid off greatly, the other is a Neal jersey.

I think Lucic is the beating heart and soul of the team. Other players totally seem to key their effort and give a hoot meter off of him.

Great player.

Gutsy! Especially after getting burned the first time!

I would agree. And if the games not going well, he can get some fisticuffs going to try to spark a response!

Watching him skate in past years was sometimes reminiscent to watching an oil tanker... Not too bad once he gets moving in a straight line, but braking and turning were issues. This year, haven't noticed that nearly as much.
