@belair55zz56 He was ordered not to fight Laraque by Julien, and Boston went onto win 11 straight against Montreal, including a playoff sweep. Orr definitely got the better of Lucic, and broke his nose, & that pretty much ended the fight. But Lucic has more goals this season than Orr has in his entire career, so you're comparing apples and oranges. Lucic is a first line winger, while Orr is a 4th line goon that's one of the top 5 fighters in the league. Orr was also 28 fighting a 21 year old.

@BoSoxnation1972 Lucic only "picks his fights" when challenged by George Laraque he backed down, when Fighting Colton Orr he backed down and quit when got the worst of it.

Awesome.

@kvolk99 The sad thing is that it exists to this day! People want to debate whether Milan Lucic can beat up Derek Boogaard! Hey, guess what? Boogaard will win the majority of the time because all he does is fight! He can barely skate! But Lucic can make a huge hit, score a goal, and beat up a goon all in the same game! If Boogaard did that, he'd actually dress more often! That idiot hasn't scored since his rookie year! more than 4 years and more than 190 games without a goal!

@BoSoxnation1972 Great summary and you are correct. Both Terry and Tiger could play. Terry once had 90 points (with 211 pim) and Tiger had 35 goals onece and over 20 goals 4 times with 3 different teams (one season split between Tor and Van). The Dave Browns soon followed and you know what...they were better fighters, but liabilities on the ice

@dzanier There were 14 teams in the NHL when Terry was a rookie. They expanded to 18 the following year. Then in 1979, they expanded to 21 teams. When O'Reilly was coming up, teams didn't have room for a goon who could only fight. You had to be able to play too. But expansion diluted the talent pool, and before the influx of Europeans came, teams decided to add good fighters who were marginal players because they could help bad teams sell tickets.
