Bruins' Lucic set to clash with Habs' Emelin

The Boston Herald underlines the hand-to-hand combat and test of wills set to take place between Bruins winger Milan Lucic and Montreal Canadiens defenseman Alexei Emelin.

“Him being a right D-man and me being a left wing, by the forces of nature we end up meeting out there on the ice,” Lucic said Wednesday. “He’s a guy that plays physical and doesn’t shy away in the first four games we’ve played throughout the season. You don’t expect that to change heading into the playoffs. That’s what makes rivalries rivalries and playoffs great, because you have battles within the game, games within the games. I know that’s one of the things a lot people are looking at, that battle. You know he’s going to be game, you know he’s going to be physical and you just have to be prepared for that.”
