Had 12 goals and 18 points just the year before that (yes that's in 82 games). Now here's the topper. The fact that he scored 30 goals after scoring like a mediocre 3rd liner his whole career is not even what's amazing. What's amazing is that including last season, his career high is 46 points. For a little reference, Sean Avery's career high was 39 points. Now he's more than a point per game player. Yeah that's sustainable.

He's still a dick.

That's not a good result for the Rangers, we need to look ahead not behind.

Pens put it away, no 3 point games in the East tonight, but Pens and Devils both win.

NJD refuse to lose. As great as Hank is it sure would be nice I he could play the puck just a little . After all these years and the changing of the rules Marty's puck handling is a huge difference maker in whether the NJD win or lose.

Kershaw · 02-15-2013, 08:35 PM

Still plenty of time to catch up. I didn't think the Devils played that well today, rather they got some timely shots that went in. Flyers outplayed them, but Marty outplayed Bryz, hence the loss.

At least Boston lost.

Callagraves · 02-15-2013, 08:36 PM

Clarkson sold his soul for these goals.

The result is uncanny goal scoring, and being a complete sociopath.

Rangers and Sabres the only two teams to beat the Bruins this year, and they've both done it twice (obviously OT both times for the Rangers).

Kershaw · 02-15-2013, 08:38 PM

The scary thing with Clarkson is that his numbers aren't even unsustainable. Team on ice shooting % is middle of the pack when he's on the ice.

Callagraves · 02-15-2013, 08:38 PM

You know, it has nothing to do with their playing styles, but does anyone else think in a hockey helmet, Clarkson looks a bit like a much larger Sean Avery.

devil fans really take on the little brother role by lurking our boards. Always wondering what big brother thinks of them

He should have never been sent down after that preseason. He sure as **** outplayed Todd White.

look at his stats.. 1/1/2 in 27 games last year...

SnowblindNYR · 02-15-2013, 08:53 PM

Anyone else think "Bickel breakaway" without having the words "beat for a" in between sounds funny?

if it was Stu i couldnt believe it. i wouldnt mind Demers on the Rangers defense.

Punxrocknyc19 · 02-15-2013, 09:00 PM

Andrew Shaw powerplay goal. wackes away at the puck a few and goes to the net.. and some people rather have Boyle than Shaw.. LMAO Shaw is only 22 years old... has some potential

Quoting myself, but seriously.

Watching the stars and nucks, the game in the west is more open, so much space and the passes are crisp. I am jealous of the zone break outs, wish the Rangers can be as good.

Yup, I'm watching the Blackhawks game, just love way their forwards create chances on almost every shift. Why can't our top lines do the same thing?

too much finesse and pretty play and too soft... alot of coasting

A lot of hitting in the stars-nucks game, it is not that soft, just good spacing and crisp passing.

truebluegoalie · 02-15-2013, 09:38 PM

Another terrible non-goal call against Vancouver.

oh wow, and the stars come back and score right after.
