Luke 93rd percentile overall and 98th defensively. Since Florida it's probably 99 or 100 across the board in all 3 categories

They did the same thing yesterday. They had a great first like 5 minutes and then did their Ranger thing
I watched most of their game against the Canes. It wasn't nearly as pathetic as this effort to my eyes. I thought they were ok defensively against the Canes and had enough chances and forced Kochetkov to make at least a number of decent saves. I'm sure some of the difference from yesterday and today was score effects since they were in the game yesterday all the way (not sure what that says about the Canes) but the complete lack of effort against their current biggest local rival? I get it was back to back but Woof.

I think this game was just so emotionally charged and with everything else going wrong for them recently there was a huge adrenaline dump for them in the 2nd once it started to snowball.

I was hoping ~5 years down the road he’d be like a Heiskanen level defender in the best case…Luke is tracking to have his name in the rafters.

Yesterday I said to someone he looks like Heiskanen but even better. Obviously a LOOOOOOOONG way to go but the Niedermayer comp doesn't look all that outlandish right now
