Oilers Claim Jesse Boulerice, Place Steve MacIntyre on IR

[Sugden Flu]

Bowl-O'-Rice lives on! It amazes me that this guy keeps getting chances. But hey, as far as I'm concerned the league can never have enough nutjobs! If it were up to me I'd bring back Garrett Burnett, even if his brains are scrambled these days.

[Colt Seavers]

The Oil just keep exercising the "enforcer" option! We should see JB dress for a few games, I hope.

The tough get tougher and the weak get weaker. Avs really need to do something. They lost Parker & Boulerice within a week and they are now stuck with McCormick & Lappy as there heavyweights and neither are capable of taking on the heavyweights of the West. I'm interested in who Edmonton will keep and who will end up in Springfield if not picked up in Waivers. I think the Oilers will likely send down MacIntyre when the smoke clears on his injury but I also don't expect him to see Springfield ice. Avs or Devils might just make a bid on Mac if he goes back on the waivers.

they may send jesse down knowing that he'll get picked up and keep mac. thats what i would do when mac is healthy, but im not the brain trust known as steve tambellini and kevin lowe

Boulerice did a great job while he was with Carolina. I never seen him fault all that much while there.

I'd rather see Stephen Peat find his way back to the NHL though.

You've got to love the Olilers this season -- but c'mon, what greedy bastards!

I would have hoped the Lightning would have claimed Jesse.

hump that will never happen.

I don't think the oilers will be putting Macintyre on waivers when he is healthy. They just went out and grabbed anohter HW to cover for him while he is on the IR. So this to me is saying Hey we are going to have a hw at all times now. IMO Boulerice will most likely stay in there organization. Kind of a slap in the face if your Stortini bu tit might light a fire in him to become a better fighter.

When Mac is back, Boulerice is gone..

Picked up Jesse to Fill the Void with Mac out, good move.

[Grittzkey]

I hope J Boulerice gets some playing time..

[FreakNasty]

I wish they would have grabbed Parker instead, but with Parker being insubordinate lately and constantly hurt it's not surprising.

[Mr. America]

he has to be one of the luckiest players ever... How many chances has he had and blown when others couldn't even get one?

How long was Fedoruk out when he had his orbital busted. I'm trying to get a timeline for Big Mac coming back.

I believe it was around 18 games.
