NH: Milan Lucic Brings Stanley Cup to Vancouver



VANCOUVER — Milan Lucic always knew that if he was lucky enough to get the chance he would spend his day with the Stanley Cup celebrating in his hometown with his large family and closest friends. The only catch was that to make it happen, the Boston Bruins’ powerful winger couldn’t let himself pour salt on the millions of open wounds in and around Vancouver.

“I didn’t want to rub it in,” Lucic told NHL.com before his festivities began Sunday. “I grew up a Canucks fan. I know how it is.”

The local boy turned enemy champion made what seemed like an impossible task look easy. His calculated and intelligent decisions about what to do with the Cup created a lifetime of memories out of a 14-hour day.

Everything was private, but built into a public setting. He shunned no one, but kept any potential distractions away from the celebration.

  1. Congrat Milan. So happy for you, even being a Nucks fan… I'm glad to see a local boy hoist the cup. Too bad you couldn't do a parade. I would've loved to see the cup. But I guess some stupid lame sore losers couldn't let that happen. Those people are just lame excuses for Canucks fans. The real ones are happy for you 🙂

  2. boooooooooooooooooooooooo lucic. haha no one cares about ur day with the cup.

    "do u know who i am?!?!" yea lucic a sweaty ass punk.

  3. How is it that most of the greatest fighters in the NHL are in fact thin guys? … Of course they are strong and got muscles but not so much that you would expect

  4. yes Laraque, or Brashear were really big, but then again, guys like Boogaard or Scott are not. Chara …. I recall seeing Shelley in Flyers locker room. With just his shirt on. He was just normall guy + he had some serious fat on him … stop calling me idiot ..

  5. I know you didnt. I watched Shawn from BOS he is a thick body for example too, but really some of those heavyweights are not as thick as you would think.

  6. lol he fought many heavier players than him. And with Orr it was almost draw. And as you know, Lucic is not fighter, but one of the best forwards in league.
