To be fair, Lucic did have a response in the Kings game - it was just really late and really lame. We haven't actually seen Lucic seek out trouble much in his time with the Oilers. That first game against the Flames, and then since then, if he's fought it's usually because some fourth liner asked him nicely.

The slash on Leipsic not only is not at all a deterrent, it's also not even retribution. He just randomly gave a minor tap to some guy not involved in the other dirty plays. If he'd at least slashed Carter or Doughty it would have been better. It is disturbing to have the propaganda voice of the Oilers suggest he didn't go after anyone of consequence because of his connections to those guys.

It's not just Lucic though - the Carter stuff was right in front of the bench. Everyone would have seen it. We were already getting fed our lunch in that game, so why doesn't someone - Nurse, Manning, Kassian, anyone - give him a facewash or a crosscheck on his next shift? It's not like surrendering a powerplay was going to be that big an issue...that game was lost early. At least you'd show you're not going to take that.

Yesterday, to his credit, Lucic played a big role in the fourth goal yesterday, if you aren't too critical of his blindly throwing the puck to the front of the net after forcing the turnover. Because of the fact he just gave the puck back, he didn't get an assist on the play, but the goal still doesn't likely happen without his forecheck there.


You are being pretty generous to Lucic and I appreciate that maybe I'm focusing just a little more on him than the rest of the team. You're right though the other players could have stepped up and given a "pay the piper" to the Kings in a lost game, none did.

I think it was how Lucic played that game on Saturday, and I saw much of it last night his outright refusal to interject and do his job, I can't let go of it. His offense is horrible with arrant passes going here and there. I just can't get his lame attempt on Leipsic out of my head, just his foolish attempt to start something with a little guy who really wasn't doing anything of impact on the game. It's plain see what he was really thinking here, "I got to do something so I will do this.."





The very definition of insanity is doing the exact same thing expecting different results.

Generally Disappointed.
