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.
I've not noticed it too much in general, but did notice that in the first SJ game of the year we were visibly outmuscled (not roughed up). Dressing McGrattan won't address that problem.
