why would you go into the playoffs with expectations when you know Joe Thorton leads your team?
and fuck the NHL for suspending Lucic for a game. I understand the rule of the crosscheck to the head, but it looks like he hits him with the glove, and the NHL in their statement even brought up that they're not sure if it was the glove or the stick. So basically a suspension on "well, maybe he did"...and it's not like it was out of the blue, Lapierre went in to confront Lucic.
I just think, if you're going to suspend Lucic for this, Hunwick should have had a great case against that puss Komisarek.
