  1. Paolo Nano Defenseman Hits Shot Blocks
  2. My favourite moment so far is signing with the Saskatoon Wild and then writing up my players rookie profile.
  3. Name:Paolo Nano Position: Defense Age: 24 Height: 6'2" Weight: 210 lbs Birth Place: Bolzano, Italy Paolo Nano is an Italian player , born in Bolzano Italy, where father played 8 seasons becoming a club legend in a career that took him all over Europe. He grew up in Italy after his father fell in love with the country and married and Italian girl. Paolo would spend a lot of time in dressing rooms as a youngster and developed a strong love for the game. He has played his whole career in the Bolzano system. He always dreamed of one day playing professional hockey in the hockey mad country where his father was born. That dream became a reality when he signed for the Saskatoon Wild. Here are the Pros and Cons about Paolo Nano Pros Skating His skating ability allows him to make up for any mistakes he may make. He poses a great first step that allows him to quickly get up to top speed to either join the rush or to get back in position after a terrible pinch. Defense One of Nano’s strengths is his intelligence. He makes up for his lack of physicality by having great awareness in his own zone and constantly being in the right position to break up plays. He also has a great stick which allows him to break up passes and poke check his opponents efficiently. He is also able to get into the shooting lane to block shots Passing Nano has a great outlet pass allowing his team to have a quick breakout. He posses a great ability to find an open teammate and is able to make passes into a tight window. He is always looking to pass first and shoot second. Cons Checking/physicality He is not a physical player. He can sometimes play scared and get intimidated when the play becomes physical. He relies on positioning and stick work to make up for the lack of a physical element to his game. Shot/Scoring He doesn’t have a great shot. He is hesitant to take the shot and always looks for the pass first. This can sometimes lead to trouble as defenders look to take away the passing lanes. He has the ability to become an elite PP Dman if he improves on his willingness and ability to shoot the puck. Leadership Having grown up in Italy, Nano is adjusting to living in a new continent and as such he tends to just remain silent in the room. He is very shy and reserved off the ice but still enjoys hanging out with the team, he just doesn't say much. Potential Nano is a smooth skating skilled puck moving defenseman from Italy. He is able to make a great first pass to help start the breakout. He is a great skater who is strong defensively and can become a great 2 way defender who can run one day run a PP.
  4. From a Facebook post about nhl 19 where people were complaining about it.
