JT will probably get a fine and maybe 73 will never mess with him again :)pic.twitter.com/yH8OfgKDCv

Would rather have seen JT drop the gloves here - trying to be objective about him. But I had to look it up - because I would have posted that he never once had an NHL fight - not even on the famous November 2011 "Friday Night Fights" game vs. Pitt at the Coli. But I found he did have one NHL fight. Link provided - slashing was involved.
