If you don't want your goalie to get run the fuck over tell him to stay in his fucking net, Ruff. It's that simple. Incidental contact will NOT get you suspended. Did Lucic do his very best to avoid the contact? No probably not but this stuff is going to happen if the goalie strays out. If it was Thomas or Rask that got run over I'd be saying the same damn thing. Shanny's job is to be objective on these incidents and he certainly was on this one. It's only Habs and Sabres fans crying about the big bad Bruins running goalies and playing dirty. Give me a break. I am hearing the Leaf fans cry about the evil empire (BRUINS). I find it odd that there wasn't this kind of outcry when we lost Bergy and Savvy to two very violent and very blatant headshots, from the same team no less. Both the Peckerheady hit and this one were unfortuante in their result, but hardly dirty and by rule, neither were suspension worthy.

I was never a fan of Boogaard, the pure cementhead or the pre mediated fights where players stand sideways to each other. But this story is truly sad.

Gretzky had a long career because he was protected and off limits. I’m totally onboard with on ice protection of your best player. Every team’s best player is a strategic target for the opposing teams and over time it takes its toll on that player. Doesn't matter how tough Orr, Lindros or any star thought they were, their needs/needed to be serious on ice justice for any and all contact whether it's clean or otherwise. Lindros was the biggest and toughest star the league has seen and we all know that he was pummelled over his short career. Lindros may not be the greatest example because he initiated a lot of contact but it became clear later in his career that he could have used a little help to keep the wolves away. Mario Lemieux was big (not tough) but he took a lot of lumps for a guy who was one of the best of all time. I think it pays to gifted and have only average size because coaches and management feel a bigger need to have someone watching your back.
