Lucic out 4-6 weeks with a broken right index finger 10.19.09 at 12:26 pm ET

WILMINGTON — The Bruins doled out more good news at Monday morning practice when Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli revealed that Milan Lucic had surgery Sunday for a broken right finger, and will miss 4-6 weeks with the injury. Claude Julien corrected the diagnosis at his press availability and revealed that the hulking left forward underwent surgery for a broken right index finger. 

“Anytime you lose a guy like Looch, you’re losing a player that usually has a pretty good impact on the game when he’s on top of it,” said Julien. “It’s certainly going to hurt. I think we saw him more like the player we wanted him to be against Dallas. So it’s going to hurt, but it’s going to give somebody else an opportunity a chance to step.

“We’ve always been a team that’s responded well to that in the past.”

Lucic was placed on long term injured reserve list Sunday amid a flurry of moves by the Bruins, and that requires that the bruising left winger miss at least 10 games and 24 days due to the injury.

“He’ll probably be [out] anywhere between 4-6 weeks. He had surgery on his [finger],” said Chiarelli of Lucic’s injury.

    well maybe it will give him time to watch some film of himself last year–and remind himself what he’s suppossed to play like.
    Hurry back Looch

    Wow, Big Zee pulling no punches when it comes to a guy down and out with a broken finger. Have to agree. Lucic wasn’t playing like himself, but seemed to be coming around in that Dallas game before getting hurt. Too bad. He always seems to be a bit of a slow starter now that there’s enough of a sample size with him.

    The B’s are going to miss the size, strength and fear factor he brings to games.

    He was trying to play like a 4+ million skill player which he is NOT! I love Lucic but lets get real here. The only reason Lucic got that huge contract is because he is Jacobs golden goose. Boston fans love fighting and Lucic provides that. Lucic sells the most jerseys and is the face of the Bruins PR marketing machine and after losing Kessel they could not afford the PR hit that would ensue if Lucic went elsewhere, hence the vast overpayment.
