MacDonald makes for perfect P-Bruins role model
“His work ethic is as good as anyone’s. It is a good testament,” said the coach. “I think too, when you have a guy like that on the team who has worked his way through the East Coast League, worked his way to an American League deal, is really knocking on the door to get an NHL deal, it’s for those guys that feel their entitled to what they get because of where they were drafted or whatever. It’s good to have a guy to kind of balance that out on a team.
“A guy like Mac doesn’t have to necessarily throw it out there like ‘hey, look what I did.’ But on the other hand, you can say here’s a guy scraping to make a living at this game and he’s giving it everything he’s got. That’s the type of role model you like to have on your team.”
As he continues to improve on the ice and build a solid reputation in the dressing room, MacDonald will inch closer to landing an NHL deal — which might remove him from the mix with Providence/Boston in the seasons ahead. Wherever MacDonald goes and spends his future survival anniversaries, however, his impact on the Bruins’ organization will continue to be felt.

Matt: Like the rest of the guys said, great stuff here…..I like the Globe but the Herald is a joke. And being a P-B’s season ticket holder, I am disgusted by the lack of press they get here in RI so I have to look elsewhere to get my hockey info. I like the coverage you give the team here and of course, Boston too. What’s the book title? I need a good hockey read. Keep thinking about that “fan in the seats” perspective I emailed you about a year or so ago…..free time, where are you? Great stuff Matt……keep it coming
FYI everyone….
Matt’s book is now available on Amazon, I ordered my copy Sunday morning. Looking forward to its arrival!
Now everyone stop. You’re going to give me a big head. Just please keep reading, clicking the ads and telling your friend and potential advertisers about The Bruins Blog.
Agreed and agreed with the above comments. Matt delivers interesting stories and columns instead of just regurgitating the same ‘ol same ‘ol….Yet another reason why he’s got the No. 1 independently-run Bruins blog out there.
What Greg said.
Good luck Mr. MacDonald.
Great article Matt, thanks.
Matt,
I realize this is counter productive to your aspirations, but please, could you give someone at the Globe or the Herald a clue.
This is an awesome article that noone in the aforementioned rags would think to do something like this. Just Seguin gets first goal, Seguin gels with new teammates, Seguin takes normal sized crap.
I like the #2 pick but there is so much more to cover.
Keep up the great work and best of luck with the new book.
