And Nemec didn’t get nearly as much pp opportunity from the get go.

But it looks like the defense could use some work.

nemec’s skating >>>> jiricek and that alone should put to rest any idea that we made the wrong choice for our team. jiricek could be great but nemec fits this team like a glove. i can’t wait to see him and luke fully develop

It's not the end all, but here's Nemec vs Larsson from a purely developmental production standpoint.

I love these charts but can never figure out where to find them for myself. Where do I look?

I have no doubt in my mind we picked the right defenseman but only time will tell. I'm actually intrigued in this draft cause I live in Montreal, and I had told my friends the player to pick here for the hams is Logan Cooley. Can't wait to see what happens, even with Wright

100%, and that’s not to be unexpected for a young, offensively minded D-man. That’s why the organization has put a big defensive emphasis on him.

Good stuff from Nemec this year, I didn’t expect this type of season from him, because it’s so rare for 18 year old European D-men to have first NA seasons like that.

Does Cooley smoke his hams or prepare them in a more traditional way? I agree that if a prospect can bring dinner along that is an added benefit compared to the average young player who shows up just expecting to be fed.

Indeed it's a smoked one!! I'm happy for him since the hams didn't take him, hopefully Slavkovsky is a bust!!

I hope it's obvious I'm just being goofy. How is it as a fan of an out of town team in a place like Montreal? I loved visiting there. Smoked meat was a fantastic sandwich.

Hockey in Montreal is great, everyone is passionate about it. Kind of like the NFL in the US. I don't get it that rough luckily, they hate the bruins and leafs fans to another level.
I grew up in St Leonard, so that's where Marty grew up as well. The local rink is named after him. Falling in love with his play and team was easy at that point...

Montreal is a beautiful city, it has a very European look and vibe. I'm sure you ate very good while you were here!!

Smoke meat, Poutine are 2 of the most famous "Montreal" dishes that's for sure!!

We also had great Vietnamese food and a nice fine dining meal although I cannot for the life of me recall where we had it. Just a wonderful city.

I love the food talk going on on this board lately lmao. Speaking of Montreal, have you ever been to Québec City? Great food there too and nice city!

Montreal! La Banquise! Great poutine spot! Also, give me MTL style bagels any day. St-Viateur bagels are where it’s at!

We haven’t made it to Quebec City yet. Maybe next year. This year’s big trip is to France.

Funnily enough, Quebec is basically Europe in North America. Very nice city, Old Quebec is a favorite of mine!

I’d love to visit. My kids have wanted to see England and Italy first and my wife wanted to visit France. She is convinced this will be our last family vacation with our oldest now 26. Assuming it is we can go somewhere closer to home next time. I’d love to visit Quebec City.

Ehhh…dad. I’m 43 now. I told mom to make you take your meds!

You know your mom accidentally on purpose withholds my meds so she will have plausible deniability when the life insurance company calls for follow up.

Old Quebec is beautiful. You’ll love it. Go all out and stay at Chateau Frontenac

Yep. Smoked Meat... Schwartz's... St. Viateur for montreal-style bagels... la banquise for poutine... bieres et compagnie for mussles... cocktails at dominion square tavern.... I love Montreal for food and drink alone.

 

[JimEIV]

Moules-frites and a beer....hmmmmm.

I didn't think Montreal was that much of a popular spot around here

But I don’t think they do that in Utica. Maybe Albany?
