Rochester Americans News Release
(Rochester, NY)... *Rochester Americans Vice President of Hockey Operations Ted Nolan announced today that the Florida Panthers have recalled forward Steve MacIntyre. MacIntyre joins the Panthers in South Florida for the first time this season as Florida prepares to host the New York Rangers tonight at the BankAtlantic Center. Faceoff is slated for 7:30 p.m.
Since being claimed November 10th from Edmonton, the 6-5, 260-pound rugged forward has played in two games with the Amerks. He has no points and 13 penalty minutes. A native of Brock, Saskatchewan, MacIntyre, who was signed by the Panthers originally in July of 2008 but claimed off waivers by the Oilers two months later, played in only 26 NHL games in little over a year in Edmonton.
Panthers coach Pete DeBoer recently referred to MacIntyre as a "monster of a guy" who is well aware of his role.
"You always like guys who know their jobs and know their roles and 'Big Mac' was very clear what his job was - that was to make sure no one took liberties with any of our players and create room for guys on the ice," he said.
When acquiring MacIntyre, GM Randy Sexton said; "We're building a team that's capable of holding its own physically with anybody. Steve is a good, physical player."
The Amerks return to action on Friday, November 27th as they welcome the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins to town for the first time since the 2005-06 season. The 7:05 p.m. Black Friday contest will be the first of four meetings this season with the Baby Pens and can be heard live on SportsRadio 1280 WHTK and FM 107.3, Rochester's Sports Talk. The matchup will also be televised live on Channel 98.
