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

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.

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.

 

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.

McDavid has learned from experience that it does not.

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.

Yeah - Malkin had to answer the bell for a cheap hit. As did Campbell with Umberger (edit: not to suggest that hit was cheap).

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.

You have a good job in a modern industry. It's time to leave the Triassic Period behind ;)

 

I never want Eichel to get into a fight.

Then again, Ovechkin will drop the gloves once in a while.

 

So you never know.

 

Yeah, and how smart is it for Ovechkin to be out of the game for five minutes?!

I can't not post the Alexander Semin slap fight:

I'm just sayin'.  You never know.

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.

I'm much more concerned with when will Eichel have his first hat trick?

 

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.
