Krookie Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 On a less Volo note, are any of you aware of Adam Henrique? He's a Devil's rookie center playing along side Parise and Kovy and man has he been tearing it up. If Nugent-Hopkins ever hits a slump of some time Henrique could challenge him for ROTY. A lot of people who don't watch the games credit his successes to playing along side the likes of Parise and Kovalchuk but coming from someone who hasn't missed a game this season I'm telling you he's the real deal.

Guard Dog Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Panthers finally get a win last night, breaking a six game skid. Too bad it was in OT, it would have been better to deny the Canes a point.

Hurlshort Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Hey Volo, has the Rangers recent surge come without Sean Avery in the line up? I read that he was a healthy scratch, but I'm with Volo on the Avery bandwagon. The guy still brings an energy like very few others, and he played a role in turning the fortunes of the Rangers around. If they slip, he's the first guy they are going to turn to.

Volourn Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 "Hey Volo, has the Rangers recent surge come without Sean Avery in the line up?" They started winning when he was called up. That's no coincidence. They have a better record when playing than not playing. The fact he\s on the bench now only shows the stupidity of the coach. We're winning in spite of the coach not because of him. Still, good record or not, Rangers are likely pretenders come playoff time if Avery is not in line up and Lundqvist doesn\t play like royalty. Or Gaborik/Richards don't perform. Since we can only rely on the coach making dumb mnistakes. His best bet is to get himself suspended for a couple of games then we'd win for sure.

Krookie Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I was just curious because I haven't seen him in the line up and thought he was injured or something. Devils are 7-3 in the their last 10 games...Think we'll be gunning for the top 3 spots in the conference sooner than later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I read somewhere that Tortella said he just couldn't find enough minutes for Avery. That sounds like a load. Does NYR have some sort of insane depth where all 4 lines are scoring a ton of goals? He can fit on a 4th line every night and should be able to get 7 minutes of ice time. I don't really get it.

Krookie Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 As much as I love what Pete DeBoar has done for the Devils, he's making a lot of decisions that get to me. Kovy and Parise on the same line? Tsk tsk... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" It's not hard to figure out. Torturechips LOATHES Avery on a personal level; but Avery is very popular amongst Ranger upper management and espicially the fans hence why he has no choice but to deal with him. He does have ultimate control over who gets ice time so he tries to limit Avery's ice time as much as possible. No way in hell are there 12 forwards on New York that are better than Avery. Anyone who believes that bull that Torturechips was shovelling at start of season are morans. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Deraldin Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) Vacationing in Florida and got to see the Panthers play tonight Went to see Montreal at Ottawa last night. Lots of Habs fans in attendance, mostly drowned out the Sens fans. The only thing both sides put aside their differences to cheer together for was when the out of town scores came up showing Toronto losing to Florida. Also, finally a Habs win! Anderson was playing terrible though. 4 goals on 7 shots. Edited December 28, 2011 by Deraldin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arclam Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) Just got back from Glendale. Apparently tonight was the largest crowd in Coyotes history- I would have thought that would have been a playoff game a couple years ago. Heck of an effort by a Yotes squad without Smith, Aucoin, Hanzal and Gordon. Other than the opener against the Jets, I am not sure I have seen that kind of consistent effort by them this year. (Oddly enough those two games have been the two sellouts.) I would be happy with that effort against Boston, but after the last couple weeks, the Yotes need points badly. Then I came home just in time for the local sports news broadcast. Phoenix Suns highlights, College basketball, College Football. Coyotes passing mention without highlights before the "Good Night". Add to that the local newspaper that used the excuse of "We must save money to send people to the Summer Olympics" in response to questions about why the Coyotes beat writer never goes on road trips. Hell, the best media coverage of the team came from a morning DJ on a rock station, until he left for Philly last week. I hate Phoenix media.

Volourn Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Stupid Rangers are at it again. Waiving Avery for the second time. Such stupidity. If you don't want him on the team just release him. Their loss. I wonder how long it'll take for them to change their mind and recall the awesome one. Torturechips is such a laughable joke as he keeps Overrated Dubinsky who continues to do crap.

When I lived down there I had season tickets, at the Miami Arena in '96-'97 and in the new arena in Sunrise for a few years. From Nov-Feb the Rangers, Habs, & Leafs had a home ice advantage there because of all the snow birds. What did you think of the arena by the way. I've always thought it was the nicest one I've been in.

Krookie Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Winter Classic was pretty solid. I absolutely love Mike Rupp and it was nice to seem him bury 2 today. Despite my hatred for both the Rangers and the Flyers I was happy to see the Rags win, because I think I hate the Flyers just a little bit more. In other news, the Devils gave up a 2-0 lead to lose in overtime to the Senators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deraldin Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 First gold medal game in 10 years that Canada won't be in. 6-5 loss to the Russians in the semi-final. 4 goals in 4:57 during the third period to come back from 6-1 but couldn't get that 5th goal to tie it up. Hit a post with less than a minute to go. I think that was about the 5th post in the game for Canada. Shots were 54-26 for Canada. Both teams pulled their starting goaltender. Don't know how to feel. 11 minutes to go in the third period I had given up. Had resigned myself to the loss. 4 goals later was sitting on the edge of my seat for the last 5 minutes. Still lost, but so close instead of blown out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volourn Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I always have mixed feelings. As a Kanandian I like it when a team 'representing' me does well. But, Kanadians and Kanada are so arrogant and bigoted at times espicially when it comes to hockey I cna't help but smile when we lose just to remind Kanandians we are not owed anything.
