Kadri has had the same number of fights.
Wilson has almost FORTY fights, and not in the same tier as the other three players.
Edit: He also dropped the gloves with Muzzin, but was trolled , didn't fight, and was thrown in the box for trying to "follow the code".

Yeah I agree its not a dis against Wilson, but different category as for the other 3
Tkachuk career .79 PPG 0.026 fights/game
Marchand 0.85 ppg 0.012 fights/game
Kadri .64 PPG 0.018 fights/game
if we concede these guys are all very good players, who play on the edge (dirty at times) and hated by all outside of their families and fans of their home team- well Tkachuk doesn't seem to need to defend his 'fighting' resume
now sure I'll concede guys like this do need to back it up at times - and I get it if that's what the ex-jocks are trying to tell us, but I am shocked that they seem to be unanimous that he's supposed to do it in a tie game, while the play is underway and where (and lets be honest NHL Player safety isn't exactly known to be the Flames best friend either- just saying I don't think they have a specific pro-Flames bias) point out on this specific play- how was he supposed to engage Kassian?
