Milan Lucic's future with the Boston Bruins hangs in uncertainty after allegations of assaulting his wife. The 35-year-old winger, a longtime contributor to the team, is now part of the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program following a court appearance. The Bruins, supporting his choice, confirm that he's on indefinite leave.

Domestic violence has no place in sports, and the team takes a firm stance against such actions. Details from the police report describing a physical altercation with Lucic's wife raise serious concerns.

As the legal process unfolds, it seems increasingly likely that parting with Lucic may become necessary for the Bruins, especially given past controversies. Questions linger about the signing of Mitchell Miller just over a year ago. Lucic's return to the Bruins, initially well-intentioned, has taken an unfortunate turn.

The potential decision to let him go underscores the franchise's commitment to upholding a positive image. Now, as legal proceedings shape the narrative, the Bruins face the challenge of making a clear statement, echoing the sentiment of "Enough!"
