Do I wish he creamed some more Oilers with some hard checks? Of course. Do I expect him to be fighting all the time? Nope.
I think some people don't seem to understand Lucic's role in the league.

Monahan and Talbot fought. Tkachuk twice. Do you think they're paid to fight?
They're not, but they cared enough to get involved and do it anyways.
