Actually... It's not a terrible idea. We keep Potter on the bench to play 3 minutes so why not have Grats there for the same thing. For a situation like this. Throw him out in a situation like this, take the fine, win the battle, pay the fine, and win the war. It is not a terrible idea.
No, that is a terrible idea.
Having yet another player dress that isn't going to play is a terrible idea.
Instructing McGrattan to go out and hurt someone who won't fight him is also a terrible idea, and it just wouldn't ever happen like that.
Not to mention, aren't we unable to recall him until the AHL season is over? I don't think it's possible, even if it wasn't a terrible idea.
Regarding Engelland, dude you are a trooper. Handling two steaming bags of #### with your bare hands. Dorsett is a punk. Hamuis was picked over Mark Giordano to represent Canada at the Olypics.
Disgusting.
On the Stajan situation. Richardson deserves a ban. Ridiculous that he gets away with pound Stajan's face in.
AND ON TOP OF THAT! The referees stand by while Deryk and Matt get manhandled. What. A. Joke.
Edmonton is no good. But Vancouver actually makes me sick to my stomach thinking about how the league gives them passes on sooooo much.
Now that I've calmed down a bit.. I'm actually happy how this ended. The hate is back. The team has to rally around some more adversity. Hartley will use this to stoke the flames.
I enjoyed what happened to Burrows fingers. I wonder if Ferland threatened him first. Bryan Murray could find that disturbing.
Nothing happened to his fingers. He knew the refs were watching, and Ferland hit the shift of the stick and Burrows had his glove off already, pretending to be hurt and trying to draw the call.
Engelland will make NHL history with the NHL having gall to suspend Engelland who was forced to fight one player while another jumps in.
A Complete lack of integrity shown by the refs and the NHL for what they are going to do to cover O'Halleron's ass.
No. From the regular broadcast angle in slo-mo, it looks almost as bad as the Byfuglien cross check that he got 4 games for. From the behind-the-net cam, it doesn't look bad at all.
Watch Russell at the side of the net just before the goal goes in...

There is absolutely no class anywhere in the Canucks organization, their fans, and especially the players.
With any other NHL team we would be talking about how the flames were dominated and deserved to lose tonight. But with the Canucks and their absolutely disgraceful antics, you can't help but focus on the scummy sh*t they pull off.
Its sad that the NHL can still field such an unprofessional product from not only the officiating and player antic standpoint, but also from the broadcasting perspective. An NHL fan in 2015 shouldn't have to witness the sh*t we witnessed tonight and it's f***ing pathetic.

So McGrattan should or might be brought up? Nice job at addressing the point.
I think if the series continues in this fashion, having him just sitting on the bench could be a nuclear deterrent. So I, and other posters have a different opinion than you do, doesn't makes us wrong, and it does't make you wrong. Sorry man.
Now go cheer for the Jets please.
