Erik Johnson doesnt prefer to fight but he has the ability to throw down if he needed to, luckily the rest of the SMJHL seems to respect his authority and the players around him as he hasnt been in a single fight this season despite having the capability of laying someone on their ass if they so chose to take a run at one of EJs numerous talented forwards upfront or the twins on the 2nd pair.Being a big body on the back end means that ej is laying the lumber alot aswell so its known he can put some force into his hits. if a fight were to break out or someone were to take a run on one of ejs main guys, whether it be The Scot or Laffy, Gauthier, Mel, even one of the twins if he were on the ice, ejs not backing down, despite being a top pairing d for this team, his job is defense, not just his zone and the net, but to defend his players, to defend everyone around him to make sure they can continue not only play and be productive, possibly avoiding injury, but Erik Johnson would love a great excuse to make some more hockey smiles just like his own, not with a cheap puck to the face or shoving them from behind of course, hes not like that, but the oppurtunity to make everyone miss his top 6 teeth right at the front of the mouth might make you think twice about running over one of my guys again
