Big Mac Tells It Like It Is

Quote:
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins forward Steve MacIntyre takes the same approach to media interviews as he does handling opponents on the ice: he doesn’t hold back.

MacIntyre’s post-practice interview on Wednesday was a prime example.

On being sent down by Pittsburgh after clearing waivers last week: “It sucks. Ultimately it’s their call and I have to come down here with a good attitude, play for the guys and be ready to go.”

The parts of his game he needs to work on while in the AHL: “All the stuff I’m not good at. The list goes on. I guess I’m a work in progress.”

On where he is at this stage of his career: “I consider myself an old classic truck with low miles. The low miles are used and abused.”

It’s a strength that even Hynes witnessed firsthand during Pittsburgh’s training camp in September when he saw MacIntyre working out in the weight room.

“He did pull-ups with two fingers. All the way down, all the way up,” Hynes said. “Two hundred and fifty pounds on two fingers. It’s true. And then he ripped off 15 regular ones.”

So no one thinks those chin ups were easy they were one finger of each hand, not two fingers of each hand.

It would be nice and nothing short of a miracle if they let MacIntyre get into the Pens lineup more. You know? play him more than 2 minutes a game as well.
