John McGourty NHL.com ranked the leagues top 10 big hitters and Ryan Callahan and Brandon Dubinsky each made the list...
4. Ryan Callahan, New York Rangers, RW, 265 hits -- Callahan hit career highs with 22 goals and 40 points and has endeared himself to Rangers' fan with his unflagging energy and bone-jarring checks. The team signed him to a two-year contract this season and the U.S. Olympic team invited him to their summer evaluation camp.
7. Brandon Dubinsky, New York Rangers, C, 251 hits -- He comes from a nice family and had every advantage -- why is this 23-year-old so angry? Dubinsky smashes sticks when he loses faceoffs. He transfers that burning desire to win and a quick fuse into an energetic game that is hard to keep up with. Getting better and better and may center the first line this year.
...this is what makes Callahan and Dubinsky so important to the success of the Rangers franchise. They're not just about scoring they're complete players. Which makes it all the more baffling that the Rangers would be playing hardball with Dubinsky.
