WildCard Posted March 13, 2017 Report Posted March 13, 2017 He's gonna be the captain, he already chirps a lot, and he's going to become a target. When does everyone think he has his first fight? Next season? Quote
SABRES 0311 Posted March 13, 2017 Report Posted March 13, 2017 I think his first fight comes when we lose the last game of the season and finish 29th. Eichel then b$&ch slaps DD. But seriously I think it depends on who his line mates are next season. I could see Kane stepping in to take a fight to try and protect him. But if his line mates are say Samson and Nylander then I think Eichel busts his cherry by Christmas Quote

krt88 Posted March 13, 2017 Report Posted March 13, 2017 How many fights did Gilbert have? How about Patty? I hope never. Only bad things can happen when a guy like him gets into a scrap. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted March 13, 2017 Report Posted March 13, 2017 Urban legend on Gilbert had been, at least in my home, that he had 1 NHL fight, that he one punched the guy, and that was the end of that. Ask McDavid if it makes sense to fight. I have no need to see Jack drop 'em. None. Quote

Two each according to hockeyfights.com It makes no sense for a guy with that kind of talent to put himself out of the game for five minutes.

Doohicksie Posted March 13, 2017 Report Posted March 13, 2017 Then again, Ovechkin will drop the gloves once in a while. So you never know. Quote
sabills Posted March 13, 2017 Report Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) One of my favorite fights ever was the one time I can recall Afinogenov fighting. He had no idea what to do, so he basically just tackled the guy, I guess this is the one I'm thinking of: A little better than I remembered. I don't want Eichel to fight, but I bet he does at least once in the next couple years. MALKIN was in a fight the other day. Edited March 13, 2017 by sabills Quote
WildCard Posted March 13, 2017 Author Report Posted March 13, 2017 Sometimes you've gotta drop the gloves, especially as the captain Quote

Sabel79 Posted March 13, 2017 Report Posted March 13, 2017 I don't care if he has to pull a Pierre Turgeon and sit on the bench by himself during a brawl. I do not want him using those hands of his for anything other than offense. End of. Quote

Winston Posted March 13, 2017 Report Posted March 13, 2017 I think Risto should fight more so he gets 5 minutes of rest. When it comes to Jack, though, I would preder he let Evander throw punches on his behalf. Quote

inkman Posted March 13, 2017 Report Posted March 13, 2017 I'd be okay with him tuning up Matthews Quote
Mustache of God Posted March 13, 2017 Report Posted March 13, 2017 I'm much more concerned with when will Eichel have his first hat trick? Quote

That doesn't bother me at all. It'll come at some point, but I'd rather see a consistent level of scoring than an all-or-nothing pattern. Quote

SABRES 0311 Posted March 13, 2017 Report Posted March 13, 2017 Obviously it depends on the opponent. If Eichel fought Laine or McDavid then whatever. If he fights a true scrapper then I don't see it going well. Who knows maybe he has ginger strength and KOs Lucic. Quote
