Well.. last I remember Jesse in Carolina was I think 05 or 06.. I thought he had since been a Flyer?? I do remember him being a fighter!! LOL.. either my memory is wacky (which is very highly possible) or TSN has something screwy.

Here is Jesse's Wiki page Turn.. this should tell you a little about his reputation! LOL en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Boulerice* It also says he was a Flyer and looks like he was down with their AHL club.

The only thing I remember about him was his "fight" with Aaron Downey, then of the Dallas Stars.

Hooray! Boulerice is gone! (I'm surprised to learn he was actually still with us. I thought he was long gone from the NHL.)
Pssh. I'm tired of him. He ain't worth squat.

I don't know, it's an odd choice for the Oilers, truly.

Quote: Oilers Claim Jesse Boulerice, Place Steve MacIntyre on IR
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General Manager Steve Tambellini announced today that the Edmonton Oilers have claimed forward Jesse Boulerice off waivers from the Colorado Avalanche and have placed left winger Steve MacIntyre on the NHL Injured Reserve List.
Boulerice, a 6’2”, 215 pound native from Plattsburgh, New York has scored 2-2-4 with 46 penalty minutes in 12 games this season with Colorado’s American Hockey League affiliate, the Lake Erie Monsters.
The 30-year-old right winger is in his 11th pro season after three seasons of junior hockey with the Detroit/Plymouth Whalers of the Ontario Hockey League. Drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in the fifth round of the 1996 NHL Entry Draft, Boulerice made his pro debut with the AHL’s Philadelphia Phantoms in 1998-99 and made his NHL debut with the Flyers in 2001-02.
Boulerice has played 170 NHL games with Philadelphia, Carolina and St. Louis, scoring 8-2-10 with 333 penalty minutes. He spent his first full season in the NHL with Carolina in 2002-03 and played a career-high 76 games with the Hurricanes in 2003-04, establishing career-highs with six goals, seven points and 127 penalty minutes.
Boulerice split the 2007-08 season between Philadelphia and the Flyers’ AHL affiliate. He was scoreless with 29 penalty minutes in five games with the Flyers and registered 2-4-6 with 101 penalty minutes in 36 games with the Philadelphia Phantoms.
MacIntyre missed the last two games of the Oilers seven-game road trip due to an upper body injury.

Basically, all that sums up to say is he is a fighter. Honestly, there really isn't much of a need for them anymore in the new NHL.

Some teams, such as the Oilers, still have them. With their current fighter out with a broken orbital bone I guess they decided to fill the void rather than just go with the youngin' Stortini.

Well the reason I was showing all those articles and links is because TSN said he was claimed off of waivers by Carolina, his Wiki page says he belonged to the Flyers and that last article said he was claimed from the Avalanche. I didn't think he was part of the Canes org anymore and was trying to figure out WHERE the Oilers really claimed him from! lol

It's 'cuz no one actually wanted to own up to the fact that he played for their team.
