At the top of Spezza's to-do-list Sunday morning was a text to McGrattan to congratulate him for his great restraint during the proceedings and his ability to hold back Calgary goalie coach Clint Malarchuk, who also had to be stopped from trying to get at Tortorella.

"That was my first text (Sunday) morning," said Spezza following an off-ice workout at the Canadian Tire Centre. "(He said in the text) 'It probably took a lot for (McGrattan) not to take a swing at (Tortorella).'

"He was grabbing and pulling guys back. I was pretty impressed. That's the new, mature Brian McGrattan I guess. Six or seven years ago he probably would have had Torts' suit jacket ripped off and him on the ground. I had good chuckle with him (Sunday) about it. Of all the guys to be there."
