lucic suspended for game three against the habs

Milan Lucic, the second-coming of Cam Neely, will miss tonight's game against the Canadiens. The League suspended him a single game for his dangerous cross-check to the head of Maxim Lapierre.

In discussing the suspension, Colin Campbell said, "we would have given him more games, but it was only Lapierre...."

I'm just kidding. Colin Campbell actually said that whether it was a glove or stick that hit Lapierre, it was still a dangerous play, so Lucic gets a game.

We'll see how that alters the Bruins' landscape. Hopefully Shawn Thornton is given an expanded role, and able to build on what has been a really strong year for the enforcer.

Game Three rolls out at 7pm tonight!

Given his overall play and the foul attitude he displays on ice -- not to mention the two or three vicious cross-checks to Schneider, I'm surprised he isn't getting tossed for the playoffs.

I'm confused...why would Lapierre be giving Schneider vicious cross-checks?
