They hit, they generated chances off of the forecheck, and were responsible out there. Tonight does not fall on them at all.

Ha ha. You realize the only guy on that line that threw out hits last night was Backlund? He was credited with more hits than both of them combined. They are both garbage hockey players and should only be on the roster when the opposing squad has a notorious goon or overly physical squad. Brian McGratton is a great guy and all but he's probably not even in the NHL if not for the Flames and the worst part is that he's a regular. Our goaltenders and skilled guys have been slapped around all season and I have yet to see these scrubs do anything about it. They aren't stepping up nor are they preventing teams from taking shots at smaller guys. At this point there's really no point in every icing both of them icing one of them should be strictly situational.
Somebody please explain to me the point of having one or both of these guys on Saturday night's roster against a soft team like the Oilers?
