Sure McGrattan is not skilled compared to an elite player like Crosby. Compared to other 4th liners/enforcers in the league I think he plays quite well.

Seriously?
A blocked shot can be recorded for you just by getting hit with the puck, even if you aren't trying to. It's a silly, kind of useless stat when taken at a birds eye view.
Are there good blocked shots? Yup there certainly are, unfortunately they are not qualified in any way currently.
Also, you can rack up a tonne of BS if you are a terrible player because you spend a lot of time in your own zone getting massively outshot. Much like McGrattan tends to.
And this all while starting every single FO shift of this season in the offensive zone.
