when do we get to play the Leafs again... might be able to beat them?

This was the Leafs’ 22nd game without a regulation win in their last 24 outings, and it pushed them out of a playoff spot for the first time this season.

McGrattan would be good for a playoff team, but he doesn't really serve a purpose on a bottom feeder team. He is meant to regulate, but there isnt much to fight for right now. He is an odd piece to keep for a team in the basement.

God forbid we have any skill. We need grinders and muckers who will only be played 5-6 minutes. That's the recipe for success!
Sutter? Is that you?

Unfortunatelty we need at least one goon to stop our goalies from getting run. Our team is tiny now; look how much kipper and mcdonald were getting run last year. We have not seen nearly as much of it since we got a goon and i do not think it was a coincidence.

I thought that is why we got SOB.

And what does McGrattan do to stop a guy from running the goalie if it happens during the 55 minutes of the game that he is not out there?

What does he really do if a guy does it when he is on the ice?

You and me both.
I've been done with Hartley for a long time now (no sarcasm intended).
