I thought EddyBeers is New Era.

I could always start an anti-NCAA thread and we would find out quick.

I think McGrattan has played better than I thought but he still pretty poor overall and his minutes are probably better served by using someone else. But considering he seems to try as hard as anyone else and is a well liked guy I am fine if they keep giving him the minutes he is getting.

I'm pretty sure that's "New Era"

Edit: What Moon said........about an hour before me apparently. That's what I get for commenting before I finished reading the thread.

Sure, if they're asked to play against better players that intuitavily makes sense. The problem is that McGrattan isn't... he actually plays against other teams worst guys and still gets his head kicked in (in terms of play). McGrattan plays against other 4th liners so it's not like he's contributing to getting outshot by the Sedins... he's contributing to getting outshot by other defensive/grinder/energy lines.

McGrattan doesn't take butt end penalties that cost his team a five minute major and a game misconduct.

First time Jackman has done something like that as a Flame, to be fair to the guy

That play was inexcusable. I seldom say a player should be put in the press box for a single play or mistake, but Jackman doesn't deserve to see the ice for a while after that idiotic cheap shot.

McGrattan has only been on ice for one goal against (which admittedly was totally his own mistake) in 30 minutes of icetime over 6 games.

That would be 13-14 goals against total, if he plays every game this season. And he has even seen icetime against the opposing top lines on occasion.

Yes, partly the reason he's on the lineup is that he's a deterrent and makes the lineup bigger and more physical.

But he has been far from a liability. It's more accurate to say that he has been playing at "an unsustainable pace".

I wonder what the whole "mutant" reference is to? McGrattan is like a mutant enforcer in that he's probably the best in the league or one of the best anyway...it's interesting though.

He probably thinks it's some hip new lingo and nobody has the balls to tell him otherwise.

That's crazy, he makes Lucic look like a little kid. Hopefully Mcgrattan can stay healthy and continue scaring other teams ####less for years.

Yeah I had to unfollow him. Love the guy on the ice, but there's only so many pictures a grown man can take with a pomeranian with a bowtie hair clip before it becomes weird
