Panthers Sign Steve MacIntyre, Three Others

[Humpzilla]

Great to see Big Mac get a good contract....but it is with the Panthers organization. Nevertheless, well deserved. Should be very interesting to see "Nasty" and "Mac" get together next season!

I feel for you, Bruins fans....

Good signing. We all know Rochester could use the toughness.

I like that trio of Big Mac, Jarram, and DeLory. It might even get me out to a few Amerks games this year.

The two young tough guys, Jarram & DeLory could certainly learn a few things from someone like MacIntyre. They'll be getting a first grade education on what it means to be an enforcer in the AHL. Let's hope they put those lessons to good use.

Now if only Toronto would follow suit and pick up a fighter. Anybody will do at this point.

I can't ****ing believe we didn't keep Big Mac in the organization. What the ****!

He was a force to be reckoned with and we just let him go.

I hope Providence picks up a legit HW (even though none compare to Mac) because last year they were pretty solid.

So much for buying a B2 season pass to the Providence Bruins.

So what happens if Belak gets hurt next year, would MacIntyre get the call up? Just imagine the path of destruction we'd see. Win or lose, it would be insane to see him go against the NHL's elite. I guess this is like the Sugden-Jackets dream from a couple years ago, just a big "what if"... but we can fantasize about it though, eh?

This fukken sucks. I'm pissed right the fuk off. I've never enjoyed watching a fighter cause destruction as much as I did with Big Mac last year. He was dominate. I even liked watching him kick ass more then I do Lucic. Looch pounds the MW's but watching Mac beat the tar out of HW's was awesome. Bad bad move for Providence with so many youngsters that could use his protection plus he was a fan favorite.

Good for Big Mac for punching his way to a 2 year deal! But I'm saddened that he's leaving the Bruins org. The good news is that we get to see him & Nasty square off once again!

Jarram is not under contract with Florida. DeLory is probably ticketed for the ECHL. But still, MacIntyre alone will make things much better in Rochester.

I'm not happy about the Sabres parting ways with Rochester but I'm very happy about the Panthers getting a good HW for us.When Rochester got rid of Sean McMorrow I stopped going to there games as much.Now I can go see Big Mac smack some guys around.I was watching his fights the other day on Youtube and this guys for real,never looses a fight.If Belak gets hurt or something this guy might make it to Florida.

I feel for all the Bruins fans, from this season forward you will compare any potential HW to Big Mac... Trust me I know all to well.

On the up side I can't wait for Mac vs. Nasty x 12, could it possibly get any better? Big Mac dominated the ECHL, and the AHL, I hope he gets a shot a the NHL tough guys (I think he's earned it).
