If you watch Lucic going hard into the corners after pucks…the other team’s players are scared and turn overs occur.
He may not play next year however he is doing well in his role this season.
Nice to see him getting rewarded with some goals. 100% hard work and well earned.

Yup, the Soilers thought they stole Neal, turns out they found out what the rest of the league already knew. He's a selfish player who is a stranger to the hard work required to maintain success in this league. With his perceived talent, why did so many teams give up on him? Dallas, Pittsburgh, Nashville, Vegas, Calgary before Edmonton. A player with his skill set could have stuck with one team, if that team thought he was worth it. He just wore out his welcome where ever he went.
He'd never make the play Lucic did tonight on that empty netter. He dive head long trying to reach that puck so he'd get credit for the goal. The funny part is he couldn't put himself in that position to make a play on the puck because he can't even skate as fast as Looch.
Heard an oilers fan call Lucic the worst player in the league while Neal was on Edmonton's roster. Just goes to show how delusional some of them are.
Wouldn't take 3 Neal's for Lucic. One's a cancer, the other is an admired teammate who's respected in the room, for the dirty work and heavy lifting he's done throughout his career.
