Does he have any flaw? I mean, it looks like he can do everything and in all situation they put him he's doing great.

So the first thread came from a different source.
The player would appear to be Irish and not Scottish. And no, it's not the same thing.
And of course, the stereotypes come trickling in, like the inclination to include an image of a giant bottle of alcohol.
Keep it up, gents.

DJ Smith has been very vocal on numerous occasions about how much he likes his game since he got there. You can see he has a different approach that the Hunters have in that regard. They're definitely the more old school, gruff, understated type.

I heard one of Big Mac's ancestors, Paul McCarron, helped St. Patrick rid Ireland of snakes. Unbustable.
your thinking of Paul McCrannon
Paul McCarron was the one who accidentally brought the snakes to Ireland... coincidentally they were concealed in a case of girly sweet rye..
Ever since then irishmen are only allowed to drink Jaimie and tullmordoo (who the can heck can remember how to spell it?) and such
That's what I have been hoping to hear ever since I saw him play in his first exhibition game last year. I already saw a guy who looked like he could be a complete player and not just a big zhlob.
Big Mac's appearance in this year's exhibition game was actually very impressive for me. He was keeping up with NHL-like speed, hitting guys but still knowing where to go on the ice.
I've said it before, but I think this guy might become really good.
Agreed, something that has been clarified this year both in camp and in the CHL is that he's not just a ham. He's got skills, he understands the game, and he's got the drive to improve. Also, big guys like him tend to develop a bit slower.
We might be in for a surprise. We just gotta give him time.

McCarron was playing nearly 25 minutes in London - now playing in the 15-17 range in Oshawa. Different team composition - more balanced.

Without deviation progress is not possible
Personally, I think that both McCarron and Scherbak will benefit from being traded.
They're experiencing the need to develop chemistry with new players, to play different roles, to adapt to a different organizational philosophy...
Seems to me it's a benefit more than an obstacle. I think there's a reasonable chance one of them will make the team out of camp.

Depends on Scherbak's off season. My best hope is that he comes into camp bigger, stronger, faster...
Then follows Gallagher's example of being promoted after a half season in the AHL.
Generals' McCarron living up to first round status in second OHL season

The new 2014-15 OHL campaign brought about a dramatic change in Montreal Canadiens’ prospect Michael McCarron’s game. The start of 2015 brought a new opportunity to play a key role in the Oshawa Generals’ Memorial Cup aspirations, and he’s hoping to lead the way by taking a year’s worth of lessons and applying them to this season’s success.

He said the right things last spring about having to improve, and he has improved dramatically. He's saying the right things again now, about what he needs to work on to be a successful pro, I'm confident he'll achieve his fitness goals and compete for a roster spot next training camp.
The coupling of his improving performance + his interview talks is what's winning me over with that guy.
He knows it's very important not to talk if you're not going to back it up.
“He’s been great for us. He’s a big guy down the middle, finishes hits, plays hard, and wears his heart on his sleeve. He’s a guy who certainly has made us a lot bigger and a lot better,†Smith said. “I think [McCarron’s Memorial Cup experience] is big, but I think the biggest thing he brings is just the way he carries himself. You can see that he wants to play in the NHL and he wants to be the best player on the ice. That pushes other players.
“The most important thing is that he’s not going to accept being average. He wants to be the best he possibly can and that pushes our other players to compete with him.â€
the bolded parts are a good thing to hear from his coach.
Thanks for the article. I like this guy. He's got a nasty streak like Tinordi.
Beaulieu is tough, Tinordi, Pateryn, DSP, McCarron. Not bad.
