Every season, it seems like the Boston Bruins employ some blue-collar player who, through hustle and a willingness to drop his gloves, instantly becomes a fan favorite along Beantown's Causeway Street.
This season, it's rookie Milan Lucic, a physical winger, who's stepping into the role. Sure, he's broken his nose a couple of times in the past few weeks, but it hasn't kept the 19-year-old from quickly being a pest toward Bruins' opponents.Though I have my doubts he'll make Bruins Nation forget about such legends as Cam Neely or Wayne Cashman, his pugilistic tendencies and workmanlike approach to the game will only help Lucic (pronounced LOO-cheech) endear himself to the Black and Gold.
