Utterly unjustifiable.
Hopefully the internet gods will let you watch the above video. They won't let me post it on here-you know that "any rebroadcast or retransmission of the pictures or accounts of this game…" speech you hear on sports TV. I think the video violates that little edict.
But not nearly as much as Boston winger Milan Lucic violated Danny DeKeyser's manhood.
Lucic was +30 this season, but in one shift he made DeKeyser a "minus two".
Photoshop it to a gold #17 yourself
Any hockey fan can look at that play, blank out the jerseys and say it's a complete sucker-ass-cheap-shot drunken rec league maneuver.
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck just moved in less than a mile from my house, and the odds are better that they come over with a jam box and break dance on my front porch in their Elektra and Daredevil costumes than there is that the Nut Hacking League will suspend Lucic for a playoff game. He'll get fined, and it will cost him a weekend skiing in Whistler, B.C. and it will be business as usual.
What he really needs is his ass kicked. A good D Mac-style attack until there's so many teeth on ice it looks like One Direction at a cryogenics lab.
No man for any reason should skate up from behind another man and hit him between the legs with a stick, unless maybe the recipient put an ad on craigslist for it.
There is no excuse for what Lucic did. But one of the factors in him doing it is that the league has been so successful in legislating fighting out of the game that Lucic didn't fear reprisal.
Never mind that people in the Bible Belt still don't give a rat's Ecclesiastes about hockey. The fighting is gone. Wasn't that gonna be the magic formula for America embracing the game ? Well, it didn't work.
It just means that one kid from British Columbia can fucking neuter another kid from Michigan as long as he's willing to pay 25 to 50 grand for the privilege.

I expected to wake up today and see this all over the net. I figured of course Lucic would be looking at disciplinary action, especially with what just happened to Quennville. But so far, unless I'm wrong, nothing. Even the hometown rags didn't pick it up. I hope something happens soon, otherwise it will be known that in the NHL it is more dangerous to crab your own crotch than to hit somebody else with a stick in theirs.
ReplyDeleteI miss Probie more than ever right now.
Probert would have to score 20 goals, but he would rarely be allowed to fight, especially shirtless, without missing half the season to suspension. Mickey and others knew this is what would happen when they eliminated fighting (for the most part) and it is happening.
ReplyDeleteyep
ReplyDeleteSorry, its Fargin. Having password problems...Lucic is gonna get Kronwalled...
ReplyDeleteTrue that, Probie couldn't exist in todays NHL. So sad. If he did douchbags like Lucic wouldn't pull that shit. Yeah, getting Kronwalled would be great. The Bruins hate getting hit hard legally too - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0rg-H21MvU
DeleteI'd love for them to just win and see what some young buck ( or Kronwall would be fine) can do to him in the regular season.I'd way rather see him leave on a stretcher and have a Wing miss games against the Panthers and the 'Canes than have something swing the momentum back toward the BeanBears in this series.
