2. Winning The Stanley Cup
The city of Boston had to wait 39 long years to witness a Stanley Cup victory following the wins in 1970 and 1972. Milan Lucic was a part of the the 2011 Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins and he played an integral part in the entire series. Skating on the team’s top line alongside David Krejci and Nathan Horton, Milan Lucic showed fans that he had a legitimate championship pedigree.
Vancouver residents are as familiar as anyone with Milan Lucic‘s game due to the fact that he is originally from Vancouver. In a full-circle set of events, Milan Lucic was able to hoist his first Stanley Cup in the town that he called home, and that he played for in the WHL as a member of the Vancouver Giants.
The city of Boston will always remember members of the 2011 Stanley Cup championship team, but perhaps none more than #17. Milan Lucic played an absolutely incredible season that year, recording 30 goals, and he was able to top it with an impressive post-season for the Boston Bruins, one that he won’t ever forget.
