I think Henrique would be a good match with Kovalchuk. He has similar explosiveness to his game. Henrique doesn't slow the pace down, he keeps the pace pretty high. Henrique, however, isn't as safe defensively as Josefson so there may be a few odd man rushes the other way.

I agree with this completely. While Josefson is out, I would not mind having Kovy with Henrique. I really don't like Zubrus centering Kovalchuk for some reason.


DeBoer has a lot to experiment with. There are tons of options still.

Also, I hope Tedenby gets some more time with better linemates. He is continuing to prove himself and has nothing but his size (defensive ability is still lacking but seems to be improving) holding him back.

They need to leave Clarkson with Tedenby for a while, for some reason they work very well together. Clarkson-Teddy-Josefson was a nice line towards the end of last year too.

lol I can't believe Clarkson got that penalty when he ended up on his toosh.

Bull$hit call on Clarkson, penguins anouncers are so $hit!!

[NJDevs4978]

Down again, so what's the excuse today if we crap out, back-to-back games? After the excuse last night was that we didn't play for so long?

[SterioDesign]

here i am, back on the Clarkson hate bandwagon

[PhuckinKillAvery]

Well this isn't a surprise. This is why they needed to win last night because now they're tired and they're going to play like fvcking garbage all night.

[HOLLYWOOD]

Horrible call and yes the player is responsible for his stick, if anything, Martin should of went.

Why the fvck do we need an excuse? You seem to be under the delusion that we're somehow the best team in the world. We're not.

That said: Bullsh!t call on Clarkson. If we keep getting calls like that you can write that up for your excuse.

Edit: LOL at the Parise call. This is not gonna be a good day.

They're so screwed. So much for that 2nd best PK

[DevsMan84]

That parise penalty just completely solidified that chico has finally completely lost it.

I was being sarcastic, people were ready to pronounce us an elite team after four games and quick to write off the fact we only have one regulation win in five games.

But yeah it does look like we're playing by Bettman rules tonight Two straight penalty calls on Devils who finished the play flat on the ice.

[Random Poster]

Hey, look! It's the Penguins getting the calls! How unusual

Oh lol, sorry. Missed that sarcasm bit.

Kunitz should be on the box for Holding... nice closeup replay of Kunitz holding the arm

Man, the calls... the NHL officiating, turning this game into a joke or golf.

Bettman's marching orders

It's the same way with penalty shots. Back in the day, if you saw like 4 a year that was pretty good. I doubt the call that led to Parise's would have warrented one before the gimmicks to the casual/fringe fan took over.

This is all the NHL's marketing to increase scoring and excitement to attract people to the game. Garbage.

[PhuckinKillAvery]

Yea...why would Henrique score there. Theres the reason why he was in Albany.

[DevilinLA]

Big trade goes down per Dreger!


As I tweeted deal was announced. Booth, Reinprecht and a 3rd rnd pick to Canucks for Sturm and Samuelson. Wow.

Oh please, that was as clear a penalty shot call as you could get. Burns prevented a clear scoring chance from behind.
