just watched the recorded game. can't believe henrique got the ot winner. his regulation goal should have been the winner. what a bull **** non-call on the hook on volchenkov. whatever though. go henrique!! gotta pick him up in my fantasy league now.
This game should have never gone to overtime. The ref blocked the clearing attempt, which allowed the whole play to develop. Then the blown call... Wtf?

Thanks for using the nickname I made up, DF. Kid is just awesome. Amen to that.
As for Larsson and previous debate. Yes, he takes the body, too often at times though. Got caught on it several times. Also, he isn`t the fastest skater and sometimes it seems like the effort is not there. But he`s obviously willing to learn and has some of the best tutors in the sport. His shot total is going up and I`m glad to see that. As he gets comfortable, he`ll shoot even more. Despite some rookie mistakes he made and flaws he has, I`m still very satisifed with him so far.

Agreed on all accounts. He's been a lot better than I expected so far. Expected to see a lot more mistakes than I've seen so far. And the offense will come too. Just needs to get a little more comfortable in that aspect.
To answer whoever asked what Larsson and Little were doing at one point, my friend who was at the game said that Larsson put Little in a chokehold. After watching the game, I think it's because Larsson's getting tired of "being tested" by other NHL players. (tested meaning Little was trying to be a pest with Larsson)
I am SO pissed I had to work tonight. Shift started at the same time the game started too. Wish I could've been there.
I'm getting a Henrique jersey with my full first paycheck. I was debating it after he got called back up. Now I'm officially ready to make the investment. The kid is special. And a lot more underrated than people 'round these parts think. Looks like we weren't overrating him after all.
I hope we get to see him grow a similar beard come spring time.
He's a BAMF.
Regarding your last post in the first GDT, yea I watched the highlights on the Devils website and he did a solid job on that call
I couldn't tell if it was him or Chico that yelled "WOAH CAN YOU BELIEVE IT"

I think it was more of them both getting tangled because both skated away as if it was nothing and the refs didn't call anything......Larsson was skating/chatting with the ref so that led me to believe it wasn't anything tension wise because I thought it definately could have been called as some type of penalty for both guys if it was anything for real
Larsson put a nice chokehold on Little and took him down.....they both hit the post and Marty was looking at them like wtf is going on
Wish I could've been there.
