Two tales of an iconic enforcer's beginning and end:

Tie was very pedestrian and mediocre in his final season when it came to the fisticuffs.

Meanwhile - McGrattan was contingent on being a force in his rookie season, and he did that in spades. Him and Boogey were phenomenal in their debuts; Orr was not too far behind.

Also a demonstration of the shifting power balance in the province.

This game was a statement for the Senators after being rag dolled in the playoffs year after year.

Not only did they win 8-0, but they were the more physical team as well.

Have to give Domi credit because McGrattan is massive. It also allowed Neil to fight a little less and he started improving the rest of his game as a result.

It seemed as if every Battle of Ontario game throughout the mid to late 00's were a blowout of the Leafs. Spezza, Alfredsson, and Heatley were lethal - always dominant.

Domi had a really good career as a fighter going up against bigger guys. Sometimes he was a bit too dramatic for me but I always admired his heart and willingness.

Obviously a changing of the guard moment.
