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.

Милане СРБИНЕ!
where does this come from? like the full video
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 🙂

this video is only 32 seconds because no one wanted to see the damn thing lol
Tough guy on internet = weak IRL. Truth
Canucks wish they had a cup hahaha
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
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 ..
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.
Thornton is listed at 6.2 and 217 but he says he is 6.1
karma vancouver
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.
he's skinny as fuck maybe off roids? i doubt he can even bench 275
