If the Pens are smart they are going to recall him soon, which would give them BigMac, Engelland and Asham 3 players able to protect Crosby.

Problem with Mac is that he's just too bad at the sport. It's easy to duck a guy who plays 2 minutes per game and tough as a coach to put him in any more than that because he's an outrageous liability in terms of his ability to skate a regular shift. He'd wreck a thornton or prust bad, but those guys have a future in the sport and Mac doesn't precisely because they CAN play a little.
