You don't see anyone running our goalies anymore either. That's one of the things that has really bugged me and shows a total lack of respect from the other teams.
I have a lot of respect for McGrattan. He's defeated his personal demons and has returned to the Flames as a great presence both on and off the ice. He seems to have bonded with the youngsters and can take a regular shift without embarrassing himself. I hope he sticks around for awhile.

I read the headline as McGrattan ranks in top five fighters in the league. I was all like who made this stupid list he's not the fifth best fighter he is number one!
Yup, the boys are in good hands with Big Ern policing the ice.
Seems to be a great guy off the ice as well. Has a hell of a shot from center ice as well
edit: beaten to the punch

With him beating his demons I hope he can help keep our kids away from substance abuse as well
That's a huge lesson and probably a very underrated one as well. Helping these kids have a balanced personal life and a fulfilling one I would imagine helps to pay dividends on the ice and create athletes who are good role models.
