Prospect Info: New Jersey Devils Draft Simon Nemec, 2nd Overall

[britdevil]

Poor Ty. He really needs to get in top shape this offseason and work with a skating coach to maximize his stride and acceleration. That and show up 100% healthy to training camp this season.

Lil' y needs to cook him LOTS of broccoli.

He's low key because of the language barrier I think.

Once he gets more comfortable he'll be a completely different. You saw a glimpse when he said "I hope to play a couple of games in the NHL, maybe the whole season" then a smirk...

It actually makes me wonder if we might want him in the NHL, just because we'll have Tatar there to help with that a bit.

I am sure that will help...But probably being around a lot of young guys bonding and just having fun will work just as well...I'm an advocated of emersion language learning

and Palat, although he is Czech not Slovak (Tomato/Tomato?)

When Palat was born they were the same country. I just visited Czechia a week ago at the Slovak border. Apparently the languages are similar enough that the difference could be seen as a strong dialect only.

Czech-Slovak chats are quite interesting. When you have a Slovak person talking to a Czech, both people will speak in their own language, yet the conversation is seamless and both parties understand each other.

On the other hand if a Slovak tries actually talking in Czech, you will notice immediately that they are not a native speaker and it is even more obvious the other way round.

I hear some younger generation Czechs find it a bit harder to understand Slovak, but I have personally never met such a person.

I remember Elias used to have a lot of banter with Chara.

I have no idea what language they speak in Scotland.

No, just cocaine.

English. I like to remind them of this fact.

I've watched enough of the Simpsons and I've seen the actual Trainspotting play in London and you can rest assured that whatever the good people of the Highlands and Speyside speak it isn't English. At least not English as the good lord meant it to be spoken here in the colonies. Maybe it's different for you sun never setters. Now, their national drink is something else entirely.

At least they don't speak Newfie.

We'll likely see him in the NHL at some point this season, though my expectation is for him to play in Utica.

I have a feeling we'll be seeing him in the NHL on October 13th.

 

[forceten]

...and Scots... and Scottish Gaelic. And piss take. Scotland is quite varied with language.

 

[My3Sons]

Irn Bru? Just a shit tizer mate.

Exactly

 

[Faterson]

What debacle.... He's mispronouncing his own first name to make it easier for Americans supposedly, just like Chára has done for decades. The correct pronunciation is SHE-monn NEH-mets.

Even when it comes to his interviews in Slovak media he is pretty down to business, and quite dry with everything haha. Of Slovakia’s next big guns I think their is 2 distinct groups. The class clowns (Mesar, Slafkovsky) and the Mr. Serious’s (Nemec, Dvorsky).

Slaf played abroad in Finland where people speak English generally quite well for non-natives, so he has an edge in that regard. Pulju ofc didnt benefit from it since he speaks Finnish and is...

 

[ninetyeight]

Yeah just a strong dialect, just like the Brad Pitt's irish traveller character in "Snatch", easy right..
