Henrique is a monster. Absolute monster.

Henrique is a monster. Absolute monster.

To add to that .....

Henrique: 14GP, 4G, 6A, 10PTs, 5th amongst all rookies and 3 less games played (highest is Nugent-Hopkins/Smith with 14 pts in 17GP)
In the last 8GP, Henrique has 9 pts.

The only one keeping up with Henrique is Matt Read with the same stats and games played. Should be interesting how the rookie race pans out if Henrique continues to perform.

Does Enroth count as a rookie too? I don't remember the eligibility requirement for a goalie, I know it's 25 games or fewer for forwards.

Overall Devils were awesome tonight. AWESOME. This is the team that we have all been waiting to break out. I hope this team remains for the rest of the season.

Parise....was a monster tonight. Made great decisions, put his stick where it needed to be, threw the body, and was all round the best player.

Marty was ON HIS GAME. He showed he still has it, showed that he is the future goaltneder HOF'er that he is. He was on fire.

Larsson made some dumb passes and mistakes, that comes with the territory of a rookie.

Henrique was pretty good. Made some smart plays.

Clarkson was also strong tonight and played a great game.

I am happy with the team that played tonight. I hope it keeps up.

[CarpathianForest]

Larsson needs to relax and just play.

[SterioDesign]

Henrique is leading at rookies on faceoffs... not that there's many lol but still, also 5th in pts among them

Parise....was a monster tonight. Made great decisions, put his stick where it needed to be, threw the body, and was all round the best player.

I actually think Parise's inability to pass or receive passes was a big negative to his play tonight. A bunch of missed opportunities due to this.

His line gave up an enormous number of shots tonight. Bad passing and bad receiving of passes hampered getting shots and a rookie and a gimpy player hampered preventing shots.

Well were beating a pretty awful buffalo team with its backup goalie. This is what you're supposed to do to teams like this. I'll take the win but not jumping for joy...although the game doesn't seem to be over just yet. Bad.give away.

awful buffalo team with its backup goalie? Their backup has been 6-0 in the last 6 starts hes had and we lit him up. You should be jumping for joy as the rest of us....There was a playoff worthy team that was on the ice tonight for the Devils.

I'm thrilled with 9-7-1 myself. It's a team in transition with injuries to boot...how much better did you expect them to be?

9-7-1 WITH the brutal schedule we've had to start the season. We've been playing high caliber teams almost every night. We're finally heading into an easier stretch with non-playoff teams, which we really haven't seen at all this season. I think our record will look much better in a few weeks time.

About ten people already told him this. He's just a troll. Everyone should just put him on ignore and stop trying to talk sense into him.

It'll be interesting to see how the Devils do. I agree with you, the Devils should make some hay during this stretch of easier teams and the teams record will look better, even if the actual play of the team just stays the same.

Good: we are sitting at 8th and special teams finally did something
Bad: I am sick of the win one- lose one and I hope they can stretch their winning streak longer.

[Onddeck]

it really was a strong game put together from us. the end got a little shaky but we looked strong.

you could see parise and kovy trying to make plays together. although some of their passes missed, they are trying to blend. i liked what i saw from both of them, honestly.

carter played awful

henrique was a beast, we all know that. night after night.

great stuff from brodeur too

[njd3b1ink]

This was a good bounce back game from last night. They beat a really good Buffalo team who was playing a goalie on a serious hot streak. There were alot of positives to this game. Netting five against Buffalo (who is more of a defensive team)is a really good sign. I also like the balanced scoring we are getting. Our top three goal scorers are Elias, Parise, and Clarkson. All of those guys play on different lines. Marty probably played his best game of the season tonight which is great to see. And Kovy (even though he was a bit rusty) looked solid. That goal of his was a play he used to score a lot of goals for the thrashers, and its nice to see him snipping again.

[mmajeski06]

That was a great one!

[thefiestygoat]

This game was well worth watching on the DVR until 3 AM despite the fact I'm ready to pass out. It may not always be pretty but I've really enjoyed watching this team this year. Really happy to see Henrique go from juniors to the AHL to NHL and have success early on.

[mmajeski06]

While there have been some rough spots, this year has been much better than last and much more fun to watch.

[LucifersDog]

We played as a team tonight with excitement and Marty had a good game. Great team win.

[DevilNurn]

Great game Devils! Glad to get some reward for some really good play.

Or look at it this way: they've managed to at least avoid the big losing streak (I admit I thought one might be coming). They've also avoided the kind of start that buried them last season. I don't know how good they are yet, but anytime you're 9-7-1 with only four regulation wins in 17 GP, you have to take it.
