Otherwise all I see is a fourth line that stalls the progression of the other three lines which is frustrating to watch.

I've noticed that the Flames have not been roughed up this year, whereas last year, teams were physically, and some might say, bullying the small Flames. None of that has happened this year, can that all be because McGrattan is in the lineup? or is the team just a little bit bigger?
When I watch highlights of other teams games, I see lots of fights, and brawls, and physical play, yet you never really see too much of that when the Flames play. The Leafs game was about as much of that stuff as we saw and it was basically McGrattan beating up on Mclaren and then SOB beating up on Ashton for a cheap hit.
