Milan Lucic. The black hole of offense. Not only does he not create any offense he seems to be able to suck the offense out of anyone he plays with.


Just heard Gregor finally call Lucic out for his stupid response to Gregor's question last year about getting a skills coach.

Gregor asked him about it, and Lucic basically said it would be too many voices and he doesn't need to practice toe drags. Completely sticking his nose up at the idea of improving stick skills. Gregor just now made fun of Lucic, saying it's not toe drags, it's how to use your stick for board battles, shooting, defending stick checks, etc...

Lucic is such a turd.

Maybe this summer he finally clues in? Last year finally realizes doing max bench presses and targetting 0% body fat isn't what makes a good player in todays game. This summer, maybe discovers stick skills are important in a league where everyone is becoming an expert at stick skills. One year at a time he can learn something everyone else figured out 5 or so years ago. He progresses at the same pace our management group does.

I just don’t understand how he went from being a reasonably useful forward to a total zero in the blink of an eye. What change from two years ago to now?


I really think a huge part of it is stick checking. It's happened very fast in the last 4-5 years, the league is being taken over by these D that don't even need to physically engage anymore, they are all ninjas with their sticks. Just watching Lucic and how easily everyone knocks pucks away from him, they don't care one bit about how big he is, he is rendered useless with the flick of the wrist. And Lucic has no idea how to deal with it, guy has zero stick skills.


He doesn’t have any good skills. You know like nunchuck skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills.
