Former Penguin Ryan Malone went on Spittin’ Chiclets (the podcast of his old teammates Ryan Whitney and Paul Bissonnette) and had quite the tale to tell about Mario Lemieux.
The clip is NSFW (why we saved it for after work hours) so beware of a little salty language.
Malone started the story mentioning as a wide-eyed young player he would often go out with the Penguins veterans on the road for dinner and drinks. Curfew was 10pm but often times was more of a suggestion than a rule for the older guys, but for a rookie like Malone it wouldn’t be wise to be staying out late before building up a solid professional reputation.
