Milan Lucic’s Hit on Ryan Miller Draws No Response

There were fights Saturday night, but the one most talked about is the one that didn't happen after Milan Lucic ran over Ryan Miller early in the Sabres–Bruins game.

Lucic was able to free the puck from the Bruins zone, a step or two behind it as it travelled down the ice and he tried to catch up for a breakaway. Miller came far out of his net and when he beat Lucic to the puck, Lucic took Miller out as though he was any other player on the ice.

Lucic received two minutes for charging. Miller continued playing until the third period.

The Sabres gathered around Lucic, but nothing came of it. Paul Gaustad was on the ice at the time and said, “I'm embarrassed that we didn't respond the way we should have.” He added, “We didn't push back. There's no reason to be scared. We had to go after it, and we didn't.”
