Apparently Len Barrie (the owner) is drawing up plays. On HNIC Hotstove Al Strachan said he talked to a Tampa player that told him that Len Barrie is going into the Tampa room between periods and drawing up powerplays. |
canada, canadian search engine, free email, canada news Tuesday » October 28 » 2008 Enter Milan: Welcome home, tough guy He may one of the hottest players in the NHL, but he's still the kid from East Van Steve Ewen The Province Tuesday, October 28, 2008 Milan Lucic -- in this family photo taken, well, a few years ago -- is back in Vancouver today with the Boston Bruins to play the Canucks. The east Vancouver native is fresh off a hat trick, a glass-shattering bodycheck and a few highlight-reel fights. CREDIT: Family photo Milan Lucic -- in this family photo taken, well, a few years ago -- is back in Vancouver today with the Boston Bruins to play the Canucks. The east Vancouver native is fresh off a hat trick, a glass-shattering bodycheck and a few highlight-reel fights. Milan Lucic isn't getting caught up in how much he seems to be catching on in the hockey world. The burly Boston Bruins winger is hot off a hat trick Saturday. His glass-shattering check on Mike Van Ryn from Thursday is still on the minds of many, evidenced by the fact that, as of Monday afternoon, it had been viewed more than 500,000 times on YouTube. And Lucic, 20, who leads the Bruins against the Canucks tonight in his first NHL game at GM Place, has marquee sportscasters and columnists stating that he's the next big thing in Beantown. What's Lucic talking about most right now? The Vancouver Giants are still somewhere near the top. Lucic text-messages Giants general manager Scott Bonner regularly to check in on his old junior team. He and former Giants teammate Spencer Machacek, who is now playing for the Atlanta Thrashers' AHL affiliate in Chicago, had a half-hour phone conversation Sunday and a good part of it was on the Giants' WHL-leading 10-0-0-3 start. There are guys in the NHL who forgot their junior teams 10 minutes after their final games with them. Not Lucic. He's a big deal but isn't big-leaguing anybody. He's still this kid from East Vancouver who had to outwork everyone in his path to make it. "He follows our scores and always inquires about how things are with the club and me personally," said Bonner. "He's an extremely loyal person. He just comes from good stock. His parents are quality people." "That's the best part about him," Machacek added, "he's still the same guy he's always been." There were two young children who were hurt when the glass broke on the Van Ryn check. Lucic visited them at a hotel and gave them jerseys, hats and T-shirts. That's standard Lucic. He's the guy who made sure the mentally challenged man who regularly takes in Giants practices in Ladner could get past security on the ice at the end of the 2007 Memorial Cup win to celebrate with the team. Later that summer, while in Russia with Team Canada for the Super Series, he took the time to fire off a congratulatory e-mail to Giants trainer Cory Cameron his birthday. It all sounds simple. True enough. The fact is people forget, especially people who seemed destined to get their faces plastered across national newspapers and TVs for the next decade. Even after his big first season in the NHL, Lucic isn't showing any of that. He was at Giants training camp for several days this season. He could have sported Bruins garb when he was off the ice. No one would have given it a second thought. Instead, though, he was showing off Giants gear. "You watch a movie and you want the good guy to get what's coming to him and the bad guy to get what's coming to him," said Giants strength and conditioning coach Ian Gallagher, who works with Lucic in the summers. "Lucic's the good guy. And people are enjoying what's happening to him. And they should be. You don't often see guys play Junior B and then Junior A and then Major Junior and then the NHL and continue to improve every step. "He remembers his roots. He's the same guy he's always been and I expect him to be the same 10 years from now. He's got good values. That's a credit to his parents and a credit to him." LUCIC QUOTES On whether he gets recognized more in Vancouver or Boston: "I'd say now more in Boston. It's still cool to get recognized and I just try to be nice to everyone I meet." On rumours he bought a house in Boston: "No, I'm still renting for another year and then I'll see where I'm at. I'm living with [Bruins defenceman] Mark Stuart again." On how many friends and family he expects at GM Place tonight: "There's going to be a lot, maybe 80 or more." On his first game in Vancouver as a pro, tonight: "I've played in bigger games in Vancouver, like in the Memorial Cup finals. But this is definitely going to be a special one."

hollywood producers; they think they can rewrite scripts, they think they can set plays. pffft. money may buy power, but it doesn't buy creativity. those fuckers have the biggest egos on earth. |

I watched a few NYR games and shit does Naslund look good. I'm glad he find himself with a new team. |
Quote:
Ya, I'm totally rooting for him. One of my favorite Canuck's for sure. |
Obviously a new team, environment, less attention from the media and change benefited him. Although he wasn't playing like Naslund of '03, I still wish we had him :( |
