Basically supports what I said above, a bit, as well as gives promise that his back should be better… but that remains to be seen yet.

Bostonoiler: I’m happy to see him back to be honest. I like how he is an energy guy. I LOVE how he hits everyone and anything. If he plays all 82 games, or close to it, he will lead the NHL in hits, n doubt in my mind. I really hope Renney uses him correctly, as a checking forward not a powerforward. You do that and he can easily be an effective player.

I completely agree.

I’m glad he’s back. We needed a little more Jacques’ last year. He is a physical threat on the ice. He has to have at least one healthy year in him, but given his history, I suspect MacIntyre will draw in a few extra games. I would like to see what his season would look if he played 82 games; I think he could turn aside a few critics.
… at least those who don’t expect him to be second coming of Mark Messier.

string: so the oil signed shawne belle tonight i did not realize he was that high a draft pick. I have to wonder if he can crack the lineup. Tencer said that his camp targeted us not us him.

string…belle. Stringer Bell from The Wire!

I can honestly say I have no clue who Shawne Belle is but the more competition the better I say.

Also,

Yo String, where’s Wallace at?

That’s up there with Jacques Bacques.

lol…sorry, couldn’t resist, I think I was possessed by Principe there a moment.
