No!

This was a transcription error on the part of the poster. McGrattan asserted that it looked worse than it was.

Having said that, I am of the opinion that manwitch's error is actually a fairly brilliant piece of unwitting accuracy: As with these sorts of incidents, it IS often the case that things ARE much worse than they appear. After fights, Derek Boogaard, Bob Probert, Rick Rypien, Steve Montador, and Wade Belak all usually appeared to be fine—not much worse for wear. But it is now reasonable to suspect that this activity was slowly and invisibly killing them. Is his frequent fighting in hockey slowly and invisibly killing McGrattan?
