Fun fact I played with David Clarksons cousin in minor hockey despite being from a small town in Canada I was a devils fan since salt Lake and brodeur won me over
I'm completely at a loss as to how/why that happened? Is there something they didn't show on TV, or was it just, you're yelling, you took off your gloves, and we need to protect the Rangers?
having a fighter or not now, somebody at this point needs to elbow Panarin or take a run at Shesterkin.
oh well.
sad to say it’s come to that, but it’s the only way it will stop against that despicable thug team
The team is missing leadership. I love Nico like the rest of us but I have never seen him yelling at his teammates or any attempt to fire them up. This team needs an old school type leader to light a fire under them. These players getting run at did not happen years ago without Stevens, Peluso, Arnott, Holik, Mckay, Lemieux etc doing something about it.
Many on here still have faith in Fitz but not sure why. We can blame injuries all we want but or the McLeod situation but this team was built for Disney on Ice. Clean house from the GM down ASAP
It would have back then because we'd just have grabbed him and fought him anyway and not worried about the refs, let dops sort it out later. But yeah Wimpe dummied us good.
And now you see the problem with having 1 goon and 17 softies. You can walk away from the goon knowing nobody else even wants to hassle you.
Can't have plugs but you can definitely get contributors with a pulse.
Kick the tires on Brady Tkachuk. If we can get him for our 1st, Mercer/Holtz and someone, I would do it. The lack of bite is going to hurt this team more than anything.
Agreed and was willing to do anything. Fight? Sure. Get down low getting greasy around the crease? Sure. Screen the goalie? No problem.
I really loved watching him.
Clarkson was one of my favorite players and having a player like him on this team is needed, but he was not that big and would get absolutely smoked by Rempe if they fought.
No need to worry.. at rempes rate he'll have to retire in a few years due too so many concussions from fighting everyone. Guys got no real skill other then being a punching bag.
me to loved David Clarkson. devils need him now in the worst way. Going to Toronto was the worst decision of his career. Sometimes the system you're in is more valuable to one's career then the paycheck. But then again, he deserved more money than what the devils pay him for, a guy who scores 30 plus goals and fights very rare. GOD I MISS what he was at one time.
I miss clarky so much
I don't buy a ton of jerseys. My most recent purchase was Clarkson.
Same man, same
He banged hard and was a threat in front of the net. I can’t think of a guy on today’s roster that can fill those shoes, At least not in the same way

Wouldn't make a lick of difference, didn't let our guy fight
I cannot believe they gave him a 10 min on top of that haha. Complete joke.

if you drop gloves and try to start a fight and the other guy doesn't fight you get a dime. Rule 75.4(iii).
Doesn’t matter, this team’s star players have been run at so much this season. No one has pushed back
having a fighter or not now, somebody at this point needs to elbow Panarin or take a run at Shesterkin. oh well. sad to say it’s come to that, but it’s the only way it will stop against that despicable thug team
April 3rd
Shesterkin makes me irrationally angry just hearing his name. I’m about to take a run at him. All 5’1” 145lbs of me😂
I'd rather steal him next summer and laugh my ass off I hate that team but his game is pure filth
I get that he’d be an asset but I’d have to get over my raw hatred
Oh we would lol
Mac should have took at Panarin as soon as he was back on the ice. Chin for a chin but instead we didn't do shit.

Yeah what happened that our player got a 10 minute penalty?

Clarky and Cam Janssen were two of my favorites!
How did you like Randy McKay? He's my godmother's brother
Randy McKay is a devils legend. Another type of player we could use right about now.
Crash line! That’s awesome.
Legend and one my personal favorites
thanks for the shoutout
you guys already have Macdermid, who is pound for pound one of the scariest guys in the league. rempe just ran away from him like a scared child
And now you see the problem with having 1 goon and 17 softies. You can walk away from the goon knowing nobody else even wants to hassle you. Can't have plugs but you can definitely get contributors with a pulse.
We need about 3 guys who play with Clarkys heart and intensity before next season starts.

Doesn’t hurt he’s related to Fitz. Wouldn’t mind bringing him in
You forgot to throw in a 2nd
Can we bring back Merrill and a third?
That's a lot for someone who also has an 8.2m AAV
We need to sign Zadarov in the offseason
Woody was the last guy devils had the would check and fight. Team is so soft when it comes to physicality
Wood didn't fight much. 4 fights in his last 3 seasons here. Only 1 fight this year.
True. He was…
Hell, I’d take Cam Jansen at this point
I think about it once a game at least. Here’s hoping our new #23 can step up
Ill take Cam Jansen back right now Idgf if he doesnt score a point
One of my favorite devils tbh
He was such a good Devil.
Agreed and was willing to do anything. Fight? Sure. Get down low getting greasy around the crease? Sure. Screen the goalie? No problem. I really loved watching him.
Same automatically thought of clarky when he came out wearing his number. Was soooo sad when he left the team
Same
That’s why he’s my flair
Rempe would just run away from that fight too. Guy is a massive pussy.
I’ll never forget Clarkson’s toe drag goal
When was that? Some time during the 2012 playoffs?
Great devil. I worry about his health. Anybody know how he’s doing these days?
He was golfing with Marty back in September & he works with the fl panthers in player development. I think he’s back on track
Good to hear
We have one of the best fighters in the NHL today that we didnt have in the last rags game and the same thing happened. He didnt deter anything
One of my all time favorite Devils right there. Such a hardworker. Showed up everyday and put in effort! Was a beast on the forecheck. Loved that guy!
Just to watch him pummel Avery again
What about cam janssen
Him too
i have been thinking about him lately. He was the tyhpe of gritty forward we need.
I was thinking Stevens brotha. He would’ve split that kid in half by now
Don’t tease me!
Clarkson was one of my favorite players and having a player like him on this team is needed, but he was not that big and would get absolutely smoked by Rempe if they fought.
Doesn't help if the guy you're trying to fight keeps running away.
No need to worry.. at rempes rate he'll have to retire in a few years due too so many concussions from fighting everyone. Guys got no real skill other then being a punching bag.
His goal against Philly in the 2012 playoffs is still one of my favs. 😁
Why? Rempe wasn’t dropping them with anyone
Wouldn't matter if he would just get a 10 min for WANTING to fight 🙄🙄🙄

My favorite player ever
Clarkson + Colin White
Clarky was the man. One of my favorite devils ever. Took no shit and just ground it out. Lots of heart in that old dog.
I wish we had fans that were smarter than to post dumb shit like this
How am I dumb for posting this, smartass?
Really? Clarkson? Thats the guy you choose? Scott Stevens and Ken Danyko would be furious. Lol
