The only thing that might be hurt is his pride, and it should be hurt. It's embarrassing for a first-round pick to play like that in that type of hockey game."

Here's hoping that this is a wake up call for Grabner. It's also possible that he's tiring out from a lengthy schedule that he's not used to, and from the increased physical North American style of play.
I hope so too. The WHL is notorious for its physical play so here's hoping he adjusts quick. It doesn't get any easier in the pros.
