I thought Aliu played his role well.

I like McGrattan, but I don't see how him playing 5 minutes a game improves the team's toughness.

Aliu drew two penalties in like four shifts.

Glad to see Feaster is still at the controls.

Ugh. Really? This team has officially achieved 'Rigmarole' status.

Just finished reading an article about how Hartley loves Aliu's game.

Should be Jackman falling on the sword, 4th line of McGrattan - Begin - Aliu.

Aliu has the ability to be a shift disturber and McGrattan may get beat up by all the tough guys, but at least he would know his role and drop the gloves when someone runs our goalie again.

What I find hilarious about Comeau, especially hilarious, is how he was bad enough to play for the ISLANDERS farm team but good enough for the FLAMES FIRST fusdAFKJCSDKLLJING LINE. Feaster should be fired, regardless of the ROR situation.

I don't either, but there are two players that should've departed to Abby before Aliu, #15, #17. I hate having a rent a thug as well.

Yeah, I think it is so useless. Feaster last night said that bringing in McGrattan addresses the lack of toughness on the team. Guess 3 minutes of a guy who can't skate makes the team tougher.
