I think I also saw a shift where Backes was trying to get him to fight, but Ferland wouldn't go. With how Backes was throwing his weight around on the ice, that's a fight Ferland has to take. And if Backes wasn't offering, then it should be Ferland to make the invitation.
Ferland really needs to drop the gloves more and earn his time and space. He's starting to look like Zach Kassian out there. Hartley needs to light a fire under his ass.

Totally agree, Ferland will be serving burgers soon if he doesn't start taking on the odd fight. Personally I think in order for him to survive in the NHL he needs to turn into a real arsehole with cheapshots/attacks on star players or he's toast in this league.
