I mean dude what were you expecting. You come to a hockey board, say you could have been in the AHL if you worked harder, and that you have proof because you played against a current NHL player

Did you not think you weren't gonna get made fun of for that?

How good were you at faceoffs?
- bulet13


Honestly, I can't win one to save my life. Probably why I never made the AHL.

But seriously, that league had guys who'd been drafted but never cracked a pro roster (my coach had attended Modano's first Minnesota camp), and I was nothing more than like a 9th defenseman. If a few people go injured, they'd grudgingly call me up. And those guys were in a totally different class.

And those were the guys who couldn't even crack the ECHL.

Passing, puck handling and shot precision really don't, at least within the time-frame of the typical NHL career.

There is no confusion. The things you listed absolutely decline for most players over the course of a typical NHL career.

You get points for originality.

I m sure a great deal of time in the Hayes negotiation is money received before the potential lock out. Cap hit is part of the negotiation, but total dollars before lockout is more important. At least having Comcast funds will come in handy. I still think the deal gets done.

Frank Sev. Now saying it appears that Hayes is closer to signing with Flyers. No guarantee but seems like Flyers made a good pitch/offer.

I say no more Hayes speculation until he signs... anywhere...

You're the one who felt the need to bring it up about yourself, so don't get mad when people question it and you have nothing to back it up more than "I have a really good shot and win faceoffs."

(frank), I had a guy mock me because I couldn't prove that I played semi-pro roller hockey and you don't get why people are doubting your AHL skill level claims?

- jmatchett383


I brought it up because people asked. The conversation is over now. I dont care that people doubt me, im a random person on the internet i get it. My point is after half a day of a conversation that derailed hard, there comes a time where you have to move on

Because im really good skill wise my problem is lack of size and endurance. Because i lack muscle, i lose board battles and because im in average shape battles typically tire me out quick. That also attributes to me having issues with faster players

I have a good shot, i make good passes, i make quick decisions with the puck, im good at killing penalties and good at draws.

I even played against Ryan Ellis before he was in the NHL in a provincial tournament in Oshawa Ontario. We lost in OT. I was still in highschool at that time. Had to have been 12-15 years ago

Seravelli just today said that negotiations with Hayes are going well and moving in the right direction
No other RFA has been signed league wide so why is Provy suddenly the holdout candidate? And why are you taking Eks rumors seriously??

Flyers feed says the same. I thought they were awful?

Provy has caught major feelings for a Philly/Nova girl, he ain’t going anywhere. See her instagram for yourself and you can even see his comments lol.

I can just feel desperation and overpayment for Haysie if he signs in Philly.
