Hoooooooo boy. Steve MacIntrye has been called up by the Pittsburgh Penguins. He’ll play Saturday vs. the Flyers.
That video above is just about a month old. He completely “lost his marbles” as the broadcast so aptly put it, and now he’s in the NHL. Man, I can’t wait til some Pens fan mentions how “the Flyers always goon it up!” during this upcoming playoff series. Laughing at that person is going to be so satisfying.
A minor-league-level goon, MacIntyre has been in pro hockey since 2001 but has only played 89 NHL games. He’s never played more than 34 games in a single season … and that season was played with the atrocious Edmonton Oilers. For the record, he’s never suited up for a playoff game in the NHL.
Let’s repeat: It might be smart to rest some guys on Saturday afternoon.
