"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.
