"Just a really good spirit, really good person. Affected a lot of people positively when they walked into that place," McMann said to Sportsnet about Wilson. "And he was just a lifelong Leafs fan. Always wanted to talk hockey, would always record the games, watch them later."
Following the Toronto Maple Leafs 2-0 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning, it was announced that Bobby McMann has been suspended for one game. The Toronto Maple Leafs Winger has been suspended for one game for a two-handed slash to the head of Lightning forward Oliver Bjorkstrand in retaliation for a cross-check McMann took in a scrum. He will miss the game against the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday night.
One of the biggest questions heading into this season was how Bobby McMann would adjust to being a full-time top-six player. He was coming off a disastrous playoffs, during which he registered only three assists, and was demoted to the fourth line. With how overmatched he looked, there were concerns about whether he could be a consistent contributor in the top six.
There was a lot of good, and there was stuff we have to work on, obviously. We did a good enough job to win the game. I thought our third period was our best period. We did a good job protecting the lead and closing it out. The goalie was good. We had some players who were really good tonight. Overall, our puck play wasn't great. That was the root of our problems, in general.
