thefiestygoat Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 whats the deal on sova? is he just a depth PMD or does he have a legit chance to make the devils? I have never seen him play but I think the Devils have to think he may have some sort of shot at the NHL. Going by his stats he played 3 years in college going 13-45-58 in 115 games. This past year in college he was second on the team in scoring and first for defenseman. Right now he's (statistically) having a good start in Albany going 1-2-3 in his first 5 games with 11 shots and being even. I haven't found a formal scouting report on him but at 6'3 203 lets hope he can continue to put up points and be another under the radar college signing for Lou.

thefiestygoat Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Apparently Frazee is down again with an injury. http://blog.timesunion.com/hockey/devils-notes-n-quotes-hobbling-frazee-finishes-game/8588/ After allowing six goals on 23 shots, starting G Mike McKenna was replaced by Jeff Frazee, who appeared to injury his right knee a few minutes after taking the ice. Frazee finished the game, allowing three goals in 11 shots. “He might have tweaked something,” said coach Rick Kowalsky, who didn’t seem to think Frazee’s injury is serious. “He was a little gimpy coming to the bench (on delayed penalties). That’s the first time I saw it.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robdeselich88 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Really think we either trade Henrique or let him try and make the team next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas0nMacIsaac Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Really think we either trade Henrique or let him try and make the team next year If Rolston is unloaded I expect Henrique to take the left wing spot on the 3rd line. Tedenby is and should be right winger from here on out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamtheprodigy Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Ginand and Sova both seem to be off to a good start in the AHL, at least points-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefiestygoat Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Albany lost to Adirondack 4-1. Thomas had the lone goal and Henrique added an assist for his 50th point of the year. Zajac got in a fight against Rinaldo who apparently tried to poke him in the eye and got ejected. It appears Zajac was fine. Here is the gamesheet.

thefiestygoat Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Albany was demolished by Springfield 6-0. Really nothing positive to post except that Sova, Hoeffel, and Banwell got another AHL game of experience and Sislo made his debut for Albany. Here is the gamesheet.

titans04 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) By losing their last 4 they successfully fell all the way to dead last. They were dead last in a few other categories as well as the Albany beat writer pointed out here league’s worst defense (283 goals allowed) penalty killing (77.0 percent) attendance average (3,114) next-to-last in power-play efficiency (13.7 percent) other than that and playing 4 home games in AC all is well in Albany. Nice work CL, nice work as always. Edited April 10, 2011 by titans04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefiestygoat Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Thought this was interesting but didn't necessarily require a new thread: http://blog.timesunion.com/hockey/ahl-reduces-regular-season-schedule-to-76-games/8674/ The American Hockey League’s board of governors today approved several scheduling measures, including reducing the regular season from 80 to 76 games, beginning in 2011-12.In addition to the four-game reduction, the league will extend the playing calendar by one week, eliminate all four-games-in-five-nights sequences, and reduce opening-round series in the playoffs to best-of-5.

thefiestygoat Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Adam Henrique Highlights from this season: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Devil Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 My observations re: Henrique: His play without the puck seems to be pretty darn good. Seems to have a nice wrist shot. The goal at 1:45 was pretty nice. I like where he plays when parked in the slot. He's usually about 4-6 from the top of the blue paint. His skating looks labored, although he seems get to where he needs to be in time. Would everybody agree that he's about 50/50 to be on the opening night roster?

soulartist23 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I think Henrique will be awesome for us in time. He may need to work on his skating but that's something that can always improve. Twenty five goals in his first AHL season is definitely nothing to sneese at. And he was solid in his first NHL game as well. I'm hoping we'll get to see him in the NHL more often next season.

With a strong training camp, I'd say the chances he makes the opening night roster are better than 50/50. Same with Urbom, unless the Devils choose to send him down for more development for another season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 henrique doesn't really have a spot on the team as it's constituted now. and his contract is expensive. i think we'll see him next year, but i don't think he'll make the team right away.

thefiestygoat Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 http://www.hockeysfuture.com/articles/13094/future_filled_with_promise_for_struggling_new_jersey_devils_ahl_affiliate/ It was a rough season for the Devils parent club, and it wasn’t much better down on the farm in the AHL for the return of the baby Devils to Albany. The injuries, early season struggles and constant roster shuffling in New Jersey made it nearly impossible for new bench boss Rick Kowalsky to ice the same lineup on a game-to-game basis. The team was forced to use an astounding 47 players this year, putting an enormous strain on not just their team, but the Devils ECHL affiliate in Trenton as well.
