Milan Lucic considered quitting in November

Calgary Flames forward Milan Lucic joined Scott Oake and Louie DeBrusk on After Hours on Saturday night following the Flames’ loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. Reflecting on his time with the Flames thus far, Lucic revealed that some early struggles led him to consider hanging up his skates early in the season.

Here’s the full comment from Lucic, reflecting on his season thus far in the context of James Neal’s strong offensive start with Edmonton:

I think after about six, seven weeks into the season, I remember the first time we played St. Louis here on a Hockey Night in Canada game, I got benched in the third period and nothing was said to me by anyone and I wasn’t really happy it.
