EDMONTON, Alberta — Forward Milan Lucic plans to play his usual hard-hitting brand of hockey for the Edmonton Oilers in their first round playoff series against the Sharks.
If the Sharks’ top two centers — Joe Thornton and Logan Couture — happen to get in the way of that, then so be it.
“Whether they’re healthy or not healthy, you try to be physical on guys no matter what,” Lucic said. “I think when you talk about experience, I think that’s where experience kind of comes in. Playing through things. They don’t panic, they don’t get excited.
