Bruins forward Milan Lucic has been suspended 1 game by the NHL today for a cross check to the neck on Montreal Forward Maxim Lapierre.The incident happened with just under 5 minutes to go in the third. Lucic received a 5 minute major and an automatic game misconduct.“I think in Looch’s situation, obviously he might’ve lost his composure a little bit in that area. But what you’ve got to remember is he got elbowed in the head and then high sticked by Schneider."
"And then Lapierre comes in. who’s been an instigator throughout the whole series and even during the regular season. And what Looch did is react to him coming at him. It wasn’t premeditated and in reviewing it, he hit him with his glove. He had his stick in his hands, but the glove hit the helmet,” said Bruins coach Claude Julien. There are rumors that state that the NHL will sit down and discuss if he should be suspended for longer.
