Uhhhh, that's their real name.

I know it was just kind of a coincidence. for a second one might think they were talking to Patty like he's some kind of analyst for his opinion.


the splash screen on the Devils site announcing their ticket packages or whatever features a Henrique picture at the moment. nice, kid does well, immediately start using him to market the team

"Maybe one day they'll say 'well, Hall played with Henrique'"

"Maybe one day they'll say 'well, Hall played with Henrique'"

hahaha

Well Hall has 3g 6 assists while playing on the first line full time and he's supposed to be the real deal

Henrique played only 4-5 games on the top line and has 4g 3 assists already

[mrthemike]

[Onddeck]

im so excited about this kid, last game he made an AWESOME play on an aggressive forecheck, got the puck and had a good scoring chance out of it

but yeah... im always making fun of other fans from other team getting all excited on youngster having good streaks thinking that kid is the next Lemieux... so im trying not to get too crazy about it...

but damn i hope he's the deal deal

[Pepperkorn]

So I was thinking about Oates. No no I love Scotty. But I was thinking about these little details he's started to share and how tidy a thinker he is and. Well then I knew. A Virgo.

And he is. How can you not buy into that crap?

So Henrique. Whoohoo Back on topic

Good interview...he is very down to earth with opportunity he has and I think as long as he keeps his play balanced the way he has, its nothing but positive. The surronding experienced players will factor into that as well...feed off each other.

[elias2600]

Adam is up to 10 pts so far this year (4th in rookie scoring) with his two assists tonight. Here is how our top scorers lineup at the moment:

17GP Elias 7G 10A 17PTS
17GP Parise 6G 4A 10PTS
14GP Henrique 4G 6A 10PTS
12GP Kovalchuk 3G 7A 10PTS

I am not going to say he is the same level of player as those listed with him, but his start to the year indicates this kid should have a scoring future in the NHL. In the past couple years, there were a lot of projections that he would slot in as a 3rd line checking center, but I think the forecast is now shifting, as he has been able to show he has a scoring touch at the AHL and NHL level.

It feels good to know we have 4 smart, thinking centers on our books in Zajac, Elias, Josefson, and now Henrique. Now we just need to draft some scoring RWs for the future.

Let's not go crazy here. I like Henrique, but you can see why it was (and still is) thought that he might be a checking-type center - he clearly has speed and some good stick handling moves, but I don't remember many great passes he's made, and he's not getting a ton of shots on goal.

I don't think he will stay at center long-term - he might even get shifted over when Zajac returns.

Henrique has actually made a lot of good passes and consistently has good looks out there on the ice, not sure what you're talking about.

[Onddeck]

U can say he doesn't often make great passes but the thing about henrique is that he makes things happen. He has great moves to the net and even when he doesn't score, he has a knack of making things happen. We saw that in parise's goal today. I am extremely happy henrique is on this team

+1, I think the consensus is a scoring RW and a top veteran Defenseman who can QB/PK. Then this team becomes a true stanley cup contender. We should look for teams at the bottom to trade with. Any suggestions from the Jackets/Flames/Ducks/etc.

[nmm90392]

When Zajac and Josefson get back I think this is what the lines should look like

Zach Parise - Travis Zajac - Adam Henrique

Ilya Kovalchuk - Jacob Josefson - David Clarkson

Petr Sykora - Patrik Elias - Dainius Zubrus

[elias2600]

I can definitely see Henrique being shifted to wing when Zajac returns. It's good to know he has the ability to play center as well though.


Also, I don't think I was going crazy, as I was tempering my statements as much as I could. Like I said, I feel like his forecast is shifting, not that it has shifted.


Anyway, at the very least, we've developed another player for our NHL roster, and homegrown talent is something I like seeing.
