Remember this guy? Panthers (re)claim winger Steve MacIntyre

Steve MacIntyre

#33 / Left Wing / Florida Panthers

6-5

250

Aug 08, 1980



Had a feeling about this guy ever since the Cats waived him in September of '08 during a rather strong training camp, if I recall correctly.

Anyway, you wanted muscle? Here ya are. Even at 250 pounds, he's no heavyweight, but brings an element missing since Nick Tarnasky's unfortunate meld with a Chris Neil fist what seems like forever ago. MacIntyre's goods can be found at HockeyFights. Some funny stuff at their bulletin boards, as well.

Well, what's your take? Does this solve the "physicality" issue? Or just another variation of Whack-a-Mole?

Even at 250 pounds, he’s no heavyweight,

This statement confuses me.

In retrospect, considering his 26 games or so with Edmonton, he had to take on the best of the West, I should probably retract the statement.

The price I pay for being in the East; honestly, I hadn’t even heard of him since he was claimed by EDM from FLA back in September of ’08. Never got the impression he was a Big Gamer (evidently, neither did Pat Quinn).

lets hope he doesnt get the Belak, Boynton, Eminger treatment.

Eminger?

He got his chance, at the expense of Nick Boynton, and probably a playoff spot, and was unimpressive. I don’t blame them for letting him go. Boynton on the other hand, head case, but good player, lots of heart and the team played better when he was in the lineup. DeBoer needs to get over himself.

well, yeah I know he was terrible. But I was referring to the beef between PDB and the big guys.

I’m definitely with you on those guys (Belak & Boynton).

My "no heavyweight" comment

…had everything to do with his lack of playing time over the past 14 months in Edmonton. It’s terrific that he’s feared and all, but he’s of no use if he’s glued to the bench. Laracque, Brashear, Boogaard…those are heavyweights that contribute on a nightly basis.

Hopefully MacIntyre earns those stripes.
