Show notes

Brett Hull and guest host Tony Twist are hanging out this week with former NHL winger Brian McGrattan. Big Ern tells the guys about watching hockey and falling in love with the enforcers at an early age and how his abilities on the ice eventually led to him taking that path himself. Twister talks to Big Ern about some of the guys that shaped his career as he was coming up to the NHL. Grats talks about making an impression in the AHL during the lockout and Hully asks him how he learn to take a punch. Twister asks Big Ern about the line brawl between Vancouver and Calgary during Hockey Night in Canada and then brings up a center ice fight Grats got into in Toronto. Grats shares with Twister and Hully about his struggles with addiction and how he was able to ask for help and return to the NHL.
