All I have to say is I would be embarrassed to be a Bruins fan after seeing how my team reacted there.

I disagree. That was a dirty hit on Lucic and the Bruins had every right to go after the Thrashers like that. I would have been more embarrassed if they just stood there and let it go.
Side Note: Applause for Savard's courage in tussling, however that's one of the dumbest things you could do fresh off post-concussion syndrome.

I missed this game but I am very proud to be a Bruins' fan after seeing this. You have to stick up for your teammates and just as many Thrashers jumped into the fray. Lucic is usually the enforcer protecting his teammates so it's cool to see other guys sticking up for him. Huge kudos to Savard and Horton for standing up for Lucic.

You are allowed to push into a chest, and Lucic had the puck. There was nothing wrong with the hit. Keep in mind Freddy Meyer makes me look like a giant. He's 5'8, at the tallest, and Lucic is a pretty big dude. At one point, three or four Bruins were pounding on tiny Freddy just because he threw a legal hit that made one of the Bruins players look silly.

IMO the only time it is ever OK for multiple guys to pile in on one guy is when it's a severe cheapshot like a Dale Hunter/Pierre Turgeon situation. |

Looks like a forearm to the face to me...  Not too clear in the photo, but watch it closely. |

Yeah, it definitely looks like he caught Lucic on the chin. He was way up high. At one point (right after Lucic was pulled away from Meyer) there were two Thrashers on just Ference so both teams has numbers at one point or another.

The way I see it, there heads are even (seriously looks like they could be kissing) and Freddy's arm is clearly under that. See that blue blob to the bottom right of the numbers on Lucic's jersey (on the picture iPatriot posted)? That's Freddy's glove which should give you an idea of where his arm is.  Lucic had a meeting with the league office this weekend over his sucker punch at 2:52 of the video. No meeting for Meyer.  |

I feel like we're Mike Tirico, Jaws and Gruden trying to decide the outcome of a challange.  In my photo, that black blob adjacent to Lucic's right ear is Meyer's glove. In your photo, which is roughly one second later, Lucic's head is turned to the left, suggesting it was turned by Meyer's right arm. The arm under Lucic's numbers Freddy's left glove. |

Hey, it's no fun discussing if we all agree  The blob you are referring to is Freddy's shoulder, not his glove. |

Hey, it's no fun discussing if we all agree That's a given.  The blob you are referring to is Freddy's shoulder, not his glove. IF that is so, you said it yourself, Freddy Meyer is a small guy. That means he had to launch himself at Lucic to be able to shoulder him in the chin. I'm not buying that that's his shoulder, though. |

That means he had to launch himself at Lucic to be able to shoulder him in the chin. I'm not buying that that's his shoulder, though. The shoulders are dark blue, too. I don't think an arm quite bends that way for his hand to be up there apparently above the shoulder. As far as Freddy, the small, guy launching himself.. look at Lucic's knees. He's crouching going into it. In the pictures you can clearly see Freddy's skates on the ice. Freddy is listed at 5'10, but he's shorter than me in person and I'm just 5'9 so they might have embellished a bit in the program. Lucic is listed at 6'4. Like I said, there's a reason Lucic is meeting with the NHL offices over this and likely facing a suspension while Freddy is enjoying the weekend with his family. |

Lucic had a meeting with the league office this weekend over his sucker punch at 2:52 of the video. No meeting for Meyer. And rightfully so! The sucker punch is a completely separate situation and it should be dealt with by the league office. That being said.... |
