Win McLaren

Win Mclaren, nice job by the big kid. Westgarth is going to be packing his bags if he doesn't get it together, he finally fights and looks bad doing it.

Kevin Westgarth vs Frazer McLaren-Edge McLaren.

I was behind Ward and watched pre-game skate. Westgarth was skating in small circles in the corner, kind of on his own, juggling the puck. Looked to me like he was working through some nerves as though he knew what was coming (i.e. possibly Orr). The emotion was definitely there, not sure about the hatred. Good tilt indeed and it looked like both were swinging for the fences, not for just for a sideshow. Welcome McLaren!!!

Win Mclaren. He landed the more effective punches that you could tell landed. Props to Westgarth for taking it like a champ and even coming back with an impressive last 10 seconds of the fight though.

Secondly why the hell is Mclaren even playing? The leafs aren't exactly short of 4th liners. I get that Mike Brown is out for a bit but they still have a legit heavyweight in Orr and Fraser isn't too bad. Just saying there's gotta be someone in the minors who can actually get some points instead of dressing a 3rd fighter especially in a shortened season. Hopefully they don't go with all 4 when Brown is back.

You make just about as much sense as Matt Kassian now being expendable to Rupp... Here's Hoping they DO go with all 4 in the lineup!

If it wasn't for teams like the Maple Leafs dressing these kinda lineup's, we wouldn't have the privlidge of seeing any Enforcers being dressed in the NHL period! .... give your head a shake pal.
