Luke looks like he literally just woke up.

The important thing is that he got rid of that face tattoo @Guttersniped graced him with. You’d think he could appreciate fine art.

[Omar Little]

When exactly did he dance?

Lol, yea he glided and made a routine pass. There was no dancing

 

[Devs3cups]

When exactly did he dance?

Pretty standard play indeed lol

 

[Devs3cups]

Nemec 2nd in TOI for Slovakia, only behind Martin Fehervary after today’s 6-4 loss to Germany.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Calling this dancing along the blue line is genuinely insane lmao

 

[Guttersniped]

(down 0-1 in the 1st but whatever lol)

Edit: Won 5-4 in OT! Yeah, take that Poland!

Germany is slowly becoming a better hockey country but losing to them is not really a good sign. Especially giving up 6 goals.

Nemec assist.

Nemec assist.

Nice play, really danced along the blue line there too

 

[Unknown Caller]

Nemec assist.

Most impressive play there is Tatar navigating between checks down low. But it would be huge for Nemec to develop more power on his shot, it’s basically the only area of his game that’s average or below.

I think he needs a quicker first step and his overall acceleration could stand to be improved.

Some of our guys need to hit the weight room to put on weight and get stronger, I think Nemec could stand to get leaner and more athletic.

To be fair he isn’t Hutson who would easily have been drafted ahead of him.

Maybe, but that’s not really his game or his calling card. His skating is more than fine, and as Fitz put it when he was drafted, Nemec has always played the game like he’s in a rocking chair.

He’s not the type of defenseman who’s going to (or trying to) blow guys away with acceleration. His skating is certainly above average as it is and it’s sufficient for his style of play.

There were a few times where he needed to get out of the rocking chair to cut guys off and it was a close call. I’m not suggesting he needs to be Luke nor am I suggesting he is struggling. It’s just a part of his game that I think would help him be more effective defensively amd that he would be able to take advantage of given his hockey IQ.

Empty Net goal from Mercer.
