A fire was lit under his ass when he was scratched. Played his ass off his first game back then disappeared. Pretty much what I expected.

You find cluelessness refreshing? Can't say I'm surprised. What's really funny is the hypocrisy of the Boyle supporters who accuse others of ignoring reality and not seeing what's really happening due to their own biases. You're on a sinking ship with BB; enjoy the drift to nowhere.
Even when he plays hard he is still a man with poor hockey skills. He has wingspan and a work ethic. That keeps him on the ice, but when the puck is his responsibility, the game takes a turn for the worse for Ranger fans.

If your not going to score at least use your size and finish your checks...ala Cally

He leads the team in hits doesn't he?
BTW, I agree, I would be okay with the Rangers moving him in favor of someone who is better.
I wonder if Dominic Moore is willing to play...
Dominic is still out there, don't know if he wants to play since his wife just passed, by the way I agree he has worked the body checking more, but these stats are misleading, against the Jets I counted 4 body checks for Cally on 1 shift in the 2nd period and he ended the game with 5

Not one person has said Boyle is playing well this season. Problem is, your predisposed hatred started before the season, when he was actually a valuable commodity to this team. If you think 18 games makes your opinion valid, well, you're just the mindless opportunist that you come off as in every one of your posts.

He is quite possibly the most overrated Ranger of all time. Casual fans who I know in real life seem to love him for no apparent reason. Certainly since I've been watching there hasn't been a Ranger like that. 1992.
Another fine example of how the mind's eye drifts into fantasy land, especially when stats are provided.
Fact: Brian Boyle leads the Rangers in hits
Opinion: Those are not hits
The NHL thinks they are hits

I've been one of the biggest Boyle supports on this site, but man, has he looked bad as of late. Seems like he's just decided that he's always going to play no matter what, so he stopped trying to be an effective player.
He has the potential to be so much more than he's been this season - I'm wishing we had the Boyle from last season at this point. He's a great bottom-6er at his peak...right now, he's playing like a fringe NHLer. He needs to better, he's got to step it up.

As a fourth line center he's still okay, but he's having his worst season.
Also I made a slight change to the title.

his first 2 games after the benching, he was an animal, hitting everything in sight, playing the boards, etc.
and then his play dropped off noticeably again.
I'd keep benching him till he realizes he needs to play that way all the time.

You're not paying attention. I don't hate Brian Boyle. I actually like Brian Boyle. However, to win a cup this team will need to be firing on all cylinders and having a 4th line center slotted into the 3C role has me convinced that a cup win is a pipe dream. I, obviously have a different opinion regarding his skill level. Mindless? C'mon.
I will be at the game tonight and if he plays well I will give him his props. However, I will not be convinced that with his puck skills and skating ability he is anything but a 4th line center/pk specialist. I never thought he should have been benched, but once he was I didn't see any reason to bring him back into a successful situation until there was a real dip in the team's play (giving up a few goals late to Boston in my mind doesnt' qualify). That's pretty much it...and i know I've said this before.

When is a stat not a stat?
When its a positive one, and applies to Brian Boyle.
And Matthew Barnaby, Ulf Samuelsson...the list goes on and on.
I happen to think Boyle came to camp out of shape (I think Lundqvist, Richards, Bickel, and possibly even Callahan came to camp out of shape as well - hence the lack of stamina and/or consistency in their performances - not to mention Hagelin started slowly and Gaborik is coming off an injury). Everyone needs to get their act together.

for a guy that is 6'7 he does get knocked down a bit too much.. he isnt good at anything and just takes up space... he is useless. rather have a quicker Tom Pyatt for example than Boyle...4 goals 9 pts in 19 games for Pyatt...1 pt in 15 games for Boyle.. rangers need to get quicker.... Boyle slows the Rangers down when he is on the ice.

You are the world's premier Youtube scout.
Even after Pyatt's breakout 19 games, he still has 5 more points in his 194 game NHL career than Boyle had in his 2010-11 season.
