Milan Lucic wrote a letter to Boston earlier today for the Player's Tribune, the pro athlete blog. It's a very good read, including fun stuff like not knowing who Johnny Bucyk was, Zdeno Chara's handshake strength, among other things. He talks a lot about just coming into the league, wearing 62. Trying to make a name for himself with his fists. From the man himself:
When I skated out in Boston for the first time, my adrenaline was through the roof. First shift, I had to go. I just felt like I had to show the fans the type of player I was going to be.
