Sorry guys no such luck sorry, it’s bad enough not having any hockey I couldn’t do without this as well. Watched the highlights of the Stanley cup, and the World cup starts shortly, just watched American Sniper for the 3rd time . Roll on August I say, sorry but hopefully I will be around for awhile yet.

A hero when he played for Calgary Flames. A pariah when he was with Boston Bruins and it all came out about the mistreatment of his wife.
ThankGod he has retired. Maybe he can finally seek proper help for any problems he still has. Yes, 'big name' who put bums on seats in Fife but the way his tenure in Fife, and his hockey career ended, is rather sad.

Other way around, Lucic was a beast in Boston and has a Stanley Cup ring to prove it. Calgary is where the wheels fell off.

Correct. I meant that the details of his life didn't spill until he was traded to Boston. The highlight of his career being part of the Stanley Cup winning squad.

In Calgary, he was used as a menacing power forward, policing tension and agression on the ice, looking after his team mates. Although there were rumours and rumblings about the off ice, behind the scenes stuff, it wasn't properly in the public domain until later. Still regarded by many as a hero there.
