He doesn't care if it is McGrattan or Hedman, Orr is jumping in there to protect his line mate. Text book enforcing and thinking otherwise because it was Hedman is crazy talk.
Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm glad that there are still some posters on this site that remember that an enforcer's job is to protect teammates and stand up for linemates, and not just to fight the other team's enforcer off a faceoff (not that I have a problem with the latter).
