Milan Lucic was officially introduced to the media yesterday, and despite being traded, he is fully embracing this new chapter in his life.
This is a guy who led all Bruins players in hits and was tied for 10th in the NHL.This is just the beginning when it comes to reasons why he’s the perfect fit for the Kings. LA have been second in the league in hits per game for the last four years.
The Los Angeles Times reports the following from his introduction to the media:
“The last couple years, they’ve been that heavy, strong, intimidating, rough and tough team, and my style of play fits in perfectly with who they already are,” Lucic said. “So it’s not like I’m coming to change the culture of the team. And that’s what made this move perfect in a lot of people’s eyes.”
“The intimidating factor is still a big part of the game, and I play with that mean streak,” Lucic said. “To be honest, that’s the reason I was able to get to this level, having that mean streak and physical game.”
As for the pressure of playing for a new team during a contract year, Lucic said he doesn’t expect that to be a problem. Instead, he said he feels like a rookie again, eager to fit in and prove himself.
“It’s lit a spark underneath me to be excited to be headed into a season with a great team like this. I just want to do whatever I can to help.”
It’s getting exciting in the Kingdom! What do you guys think of the Lucic acquisition? Good? Bad?
Also, is it hockey season yet?
