How Many Calgary Flames Will Shudder at the Name "Guillaume Lefebvre" After Tonight?

As previously reported by OilersNation’s own Jason Gregor, the Edmonton Oilers have claimed Steve MacIntyre off waivers on his way from the Florida Panthers organization to the Rochester Americans.

Hi Jonathan,

over on the Oilers Nation site a did a quick post on comparing Lefebvre's and Stortini's numbers. I did a better one and included MacIntyres numbers and an analysis on my blog: http://bringingbacktheglory.blogspot.com/

Good post: glad to see that you can even change a mouth-breather like me to having a reasonable position.
