peteyvegas Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Doesn't he have any moves?? He's taken a dozen shots in this series, straight at the pads of the goalie. Come on, kid, deke a little, will 'ya!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adavid Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Maybe. Though it seems that everytime he gets the puck, he's 2 feet in front of the net and flying and doesnt have the time to do anything but shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't blame him for trying to go five-hole on Bryz this series. Until he shows us that he can make that stop consistently, keep challenging him on it.

Scipp15 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Thought about this last night as well. I don't know if it's that he doesn't have moves, or if it's just nerves. A lot of times a player will go with the simple play, simply because they don't want to get too fancy. If he's nervous, his first instinct could just be to see the net and shoot at this point. It worked in Game 7 against Theodore. He really probably should have had at least 1 though in that game last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Bryzgalov does a good job of covering the bottom of the net, you have to go high to score anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theamazingtiny Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I thought for sure he'd go with that wicked backhand on that breakaway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squishyx Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) I thought this thread was going to be about how he has 3 times as many minors in the playoffs as he did all regular season. Edited May 4, 2012 by squishyx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJCroMag Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Bryzgalov does a good job of covering the bottom of the net, you have to go high to score anything. If you break down all the goals, low has worked more than high... 1. GAME 1 - Parise low. 2. GAME 1 - Zajac low. 3. GAME 1 - Sykora low. 4. GAME 2 - Larsson high. 5. GAME 2 - Clarkson low (got off the ice, but more low than high). 6. GAME 2 - Zajac low (got off the ice, but more low than high). 7. GAME 3 - Elias high (through arm-body; I'll count it). 8. GAME 3 - Kovalchuk low. 9. GAME 3 - Parise low. 10. GAME 3 - Ponikarovsky low. I'm obviously not counting the Game 2 empty-netter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteyvegas Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 I'm with you, Scipp. I think it's nerves. He's dribbled a couple off his foot in these playoffs. But he's been a monster on the boards, so I cant complain. Hell, I thought Harold should've started before Poni last night. So what the hell do I know!!

devilsadvoc8 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Kovy also beat him high last night but the post made the save. Henrique made some mistakes last night, as did Larsson. I am happy they are both in there contributing. This can only improve their careers to get this experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Fan Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Henrique is getting chances and that is a positive sign because the Flyers need to spread their attentions away from our top guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was considering the Clarkson and Zajac goals as high as they both chipped the puck over his pads. He had the whole of the bottom of the net covered with his pads. But still as you point out a grater number of those goals have come from shooting low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Can't blame him for trying to go five-hole on Bryz this series. Until he shows us that he can make that stop consistently, keep challenging him on it. This, +1 5-hole looked real bad in games 1. However, yeah I think he needs to throw a move in here or there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onddeck Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 It's gotta be nerves... Kid has had like 3 breakaways with nothing to show for it. I know two of them were penalties but I would like to see a little more in those shots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Fan Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Henrique is the second best forward tonight in my mind (Zubrus is No. 1) because he generates scoring chances and creates many turnovers (Zubrus' GWG). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. I'd think that 2/3 NJs 2 on 1 are because of him and the hard work and smart plays. Hats off to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neb00rs Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Henrique was so good tonight I can't bug him for this even though I agree - his breakaway shots in games 2 and 3 were weak. He should deke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
