Mcgrattan has no illusions. Rather than a guy who uses his demons as distractions from his professional life, a goon who has embraced the day to day lumps of the job has an extra edge, an extra intensity to get the job done.
Going back to the box after pummelling your opponent to the cheers of the fans must be an amazing feeling, but walking back into the room after the game to the respect of your teammates must be another level for a guy like mcgrattan.
Edit: also, hilarious.
