Jonathan Bombulie from Citizens Voice dubbed Jesse Boulerice's presence at WB/S camp as an "interesting" invite. Couldn't agree with him more.

The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton training camp roster will be announced any day now and when it is, there will be an interesting name on it. Jesse Boulerice has been invited to camp. Boulerice, 31, has been one of the AHL's toughest players over the past decade and has also racked up more than 60 fights in more than 170 NHL games.

That's practically one fight for every three games played. Interesting. Wonder what the Pens are planning here. Where do Godard, Rupp and Bissonette factor in here, if at all? One things for sure - they definitely have a weird interest in former Hurricanes players.

Boulerice played 41 games for the AHL's Lake Erie Monsters last season, racking up 4G, 3A and 97 minutes in penalties. The Edmonton Oilers picked him up for two games, where he had zeros across the board in every stat category.

My favorite Boulerice fight after the jump.

Hey I didn't say he won. Such is the risk you take as an enforcer.

Hey, an out is an out - unless you're Mario, in which case it's probably two outs. -UtesFan89

Love the sound effects in that vid

They shouldn’t have been given 5 minute majors for that…you can get a lot more mileage out of an everyday 2-minute roughing minor after a whistle…I mean, one punch? That’s hardly a fight!

Wow

Good luck with that. Not that he’s likely to play for the Big Pens, but he’s one of the dirtier players the Flyers ever had. No, seriously. You may not remember, but 10 years ago there was this, this, and this.

The first one was frightening, the second one was stupid and scary (Blindside crosscheck to the throat, when your team is winning 7-2), and a cheap cross check to the head before getting a beat down.

Good luck.

Ah yes, I remember that crosscheck to the face. I even said the exact same thing. “Dude, your team is winning by a lot.”

So not only is he a giant piece of shit, but he can’t fight either. As a side not, after watching him fight biz nasty I love how fired up Biz gets after a fight.
