Andy Brickley Says Milan Lucic Needs to Leave His Fingerprints on Stanley Cup Final for Bruins to Be Successful

There's no doubting how important the Bruins' top line is to their success, and they'll likely have to continue playing well for the Bruins to defeat the Vancouver Canucks in the Stanley Cup Final.

NESN's Andy Brickley said that Milan Lucic will have to play especially well because when he's on, he can be one of the most dominating players on the ice.

Gord Kluzak agreed, adding that he noticed Lucic seemingly finding that extra gear at the end of the Eastern Conference Final. Brickley attributes this to his awareness improving.

Brickley said he expects the Bruins to execute their game plan throughout the series, which needs to include staying out of the penalty box.
