GDT: 2024 IIHF World Championship - Czechia

[Cheddabombs]

Now all we need is a highlight reel goal from Smith

 

[Devils731]

Kinda odd that Hughes can’t get out for the OT. He’s even tougher to contain 3 on 3.

I guess they’re worried about how high risk he can be?

 

[Better Call Sal]

Certainly not the way we want to watch this occurring, but fantastic to see some of our boys putting nice showings out there in this tournament.

Luke and Nemo with dueling goals.

 

[Devils731]

Nemec! OT winner

 

[R8Devs]

Nemec! Might have been tipped tho.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Hynes gonna Hynes. No reason for Nelson to be out there as much as he was in that OT.

 

[R8Devs]

Damn it would have been cool for it to be Hughes and Nemec to be the players of the game

 

[Devils731]

Nemec! Might have been tipped tho.

Yes. Did turn out to be tipped.

Nemec making the right play and getting the assist is still good. Nemec so often makes the best play.

 

[Devs3cups]

Nemec apple to win it for the Slovaks! Nemec with 1G, 1A today! 1G and 3A in 3 games for the Slovaks so far!


Luke with 1G, 1A as well today. Player of the game for the USA. 2G, 1A in 3 games so far!

 

[youryeah]

luke and nemo are going to be so great. lawd have mercy we are eating good y'all

 

[Better Call Sal]

Seeing what these kids are capable of at such an early age is why I refuse to see this year as anything but a blip on the radar.

We're going to have some fun for the next few years, I'm confident in it.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

We are so lucky to have Luke and Nemec. It may take a little bit longer to be really good, but it would honestly be impressively bad if management can’t put together a really solid squad with the talent we have.

[Guttersniped]

Nemec played 21:14 in regulation, and Luke 18:24, and both were only on the ice for 1 GA each (out of 4).

Luke got his assist playing with #8 Wereniski (1-2), was on the ice for the GA with #5 Kesselring (1-4), and scored his goal with #85 Sanderson (4-4).

Nemec was on the ice with #64 Koch for the GA (1-2) and got his goal with #42 Fehervary (2-2).

OT: Nemec (0:52) got an assist with Luke (0:45) on the ice.

Could you imagine if we had Hutson instead? Only way it would be better.

 

[Clam Jensen]

Man, this off season is going to draaaaaaaaaaag

 

[Ripshot 43]

Forget the game. Let's talk about that SUV in the corner.

Handicap parking rules are getting out of control

 

[Unknown Caller]

Really dumb take because the "refrain from the Devils org" is still true. Luke and Nemec have incredible upside and have flashes of brilliance, but there were some real growing pains defensively losing so many veterans and it absolutely impacted the team. Both can be true.

 

[Hockey Sports Fan]

is that Brian Engblom doing the commentary? Haven’t heard that in a long time.

I also think it's grossly oversimplified to look at any one thing and put a bow on it as the sole cause of the record for this season.

 

[NJDevs26]

Yeah that's a cool story bro Tweet...we also missed Hamilton for 62 games and Siegs for 25, and we had Luke running on empty for months in his first full pro season in part because all those guys left/were unavailable, and he was playing 21+ a night. People who make it out like all that changed was replacing Severson and Graves with Luke and Nemec two-for-two (and also acting like Nemec and especially Luke were flawless as rookies) are being intellectually dishonest.

Severson was never even this blueline's biggest bonehead, at least not as long as Brendan Smith was here.

 

[Devs3cups]

 

[Devs3cups]

Nico assist!

 

[Saugus]

It took me a while to figure out who they were referring to with "World's Biggest Bonehead".

At first, I was like, "wait, Miles Wood isn't a defenseman, so who are they -- ? Oh right."

You think the issue was "growing pains" rather than Siegenthaler and Marino playing like trash and Hamilton missing 3/4 of the season?
