Lucic calling him gutless after the fact just makes him look worse. It's about time someone gave him what he had coming. Now the next time they face each other I would expect a rematch of sorts, and if Prout turtles then gutless comes into play

Actually if you examine the entire sequence, it does not paint a pretty picture of Lucic (surprise surprise).
They jostle a bit near the corner boards and Prout gives Lucic a half-hearted poke. As Prout skates away, Lucic cross-checks Prout in the back of the head. Prout turns around and they pair up to dance. Prout drops the gloves right away and Lucic grabs Prout without dropping his own gloves. They jostle and then after Lucic ducks from an expected punch (which did not come as planned), he is met right on the chin with a sharp hook from Prout. When he is down, Prout stands over him and noticeably restrains himself from giving Lucic the pummeling he deserves.
Worse, after they are separated by the officials, Lucic throws a punch at Prout, and then throws his glove at him. That is why Lucic got the game misconduct.
Remember a while back when Gudas got pummeled for defending Bishop? He ended up needing a face-shield because they guy threw a chickenshat punch at Gudas after he was already down and the officials were jumping into the scrum. That player (forget his name) did to Gudas (uncalled for) what Prout could have done to Lucic (who probably earned it) and did not.
Bruins fans will have a completely different take on it, because Lucic is their guy. They love him and are blind to his true punkish nature.
Lucic has no class and no guts. He is a punk, a bully, a trash-talker, and a cheapshot artist. I can respect other members of the Bruins for their talent (Bergeron for example), but I will never have a shred of respect for Lucic. I hope he never ends up on Tampa's roster.
