Video: Bruins Milan Lucic Hits Mike Van Ryn Through the Glass, Hit of the Year!
Larry Brown Sports —
There’s something about shattering glass that makes a hit seem so much more exceptional than it really is. For instance, Milan Lucic’s hip check on Mike Van Ryn of the Leafs was pretty standard. Sure, it was well-timed and unleashed with incredible force while Van Ryn was a sitting duck, but it wouldn’t be much more than a monster hit had the glass not broken. But with the glass shattering, err, exploding, this easily has become a nominee for NHL hit of the year. A must see:
I heard one announcer say that hit would be in highlight reels for the ...

The Boston Bruins Milan Lucic lays the wood on the Toronto Maple Leafs Mike Van Ryn in last night’s game. Van Ryn is probably still pulling glass out of his back.

Let ‘em know you’re there! Milan Lucic let ‘em know he was there. Just twenty seconds into the second period, Milan Lucic lined up Toronto Maple Leaf Mike Van Ryn along the left sideboards and pasted the defenseman into the glass:
Peace out Mike. Six two and Even!

Here is the video from last night of Milan Lucic putting Martin Van Ryn through the glass. Apparently the glass breaking sent two people to the hospital with cuts on their faces, and two others were cut from touching broken glass but returned to watch the end of the game.

B.C. boy ends big week with a bang in Boston
The Sports Corner —
It was a fitting end to an impressive week for Milan Lucic.
The Vancouver native recorded his first ever NHL hattrick Saturday against the Atlanta Thrashers, while completely a four point night. The big Bruins’ forward probably had his best game yet of his young career, as he is already making his name known around the league.
If that three-goal feat was not already enough, the game prior against Toronto, he delivered a hit that will make it onto highlight reels for the next few decades. Early in the second period against the Leafs, Lucic laid a massive hit on defensemen Mike Van Ryn, shattering the glass into many pieces.

I finally got around to watching the highlights from last night's debacle against the Maple Leafs. I wasn't too keen on seeing them after the game, the worst one the Canadiens have played in over a year. Last night, I missed the first ten minutes of the game after arriving home from my daughter's tournament (she was game MVP) and I watched the first half of the game with the sound down and some company in the room. I hadn't seen the Tom Kostopoulos hit on Leafs defenseman Mike Van Ryn, but I had heard a bit about it, and that he'd been thrown from the game. Late this afternoon I spoke with a ...
