MacIntyre To Pittsburgh
Former Edmonton Oilers' and Florida Panthers' winger and NHL heavy weight Steve MacIntyre signed a one year, 2 way deal with the Pittsburgh Penguins last night. MacIntyre will earn $600,000 at the NHL level
MacIntyre is still the same big guy with a big heart that played in Edmonton, and there is now one less player in the league who will fight him with the tragic passing of Derek Boogaard. How many fights Smac will get this year is yet to be seen, but thoughts likely go to Sydney Crosby's lost season this past year. I'm not convinced that that injury could have been avoided by having a MacIntyre.

Not that I would ever hope a guy gets hurt but if MacIntyre happened to KO Hordichuk for the season on opening night like he did Ivanans last season it’ll be the most useful thing he ever did for this club.

Come on, the Ivanans fight last season was priceless. I wouldn’t miss fighting at all if it was taken out of the game, but as fights go, that was something.
It was something but in the grand scheme of things which team was better off? We kept playing MacIntyre and Ivanans never saw the ice again.

If the Pens teach him how to skate, and of his own volition he can catch someone who bothers Malkin or Crosby etc., and annhilates them, I think it would change a few attitiudes.
But the coach can’t tell him to do that anymore, and it has to be a one way deal, not asking them to tangle.
Still useless, but less so.
up untill the Olympics I was in the for catagory for fighting. But the amount of fun I had watching clean-ish fightless hockey made me turn to the other side.
Success is not a goal..its a byproduct
All the best
Wishing Big Mac lots of success out east where he should be able to get a couple more fights in. Hope that he doesn’t spend the whole season down in the minors…
