The biggest problem I see is that, by sitting so much, McGrattan's limited hockey skills get even more rusty. He had a pretty decent season last year in a non-fighting sense. I didn't see him as a liability. This year, he has not been a factor in the games at all.
Bollig has less of an excuse, and, as people may have noticed, I find him to be a negative on the ice. Constantly behind the play. It's like he thinks more of his own skills than what they really are and it gets him into trouble.
I started out a huge Engelland detractor, but he's gotten much better at playing effectively within himself.
