matter2003 Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) Just randomly looking at some of the AHL players and noticed the AHL points leader with 101 is a local product from Williamsville...nice! Does he project to the NHL or is he an AHL lifer like Gage? Edited May 1, 2022 by matter2003 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBD Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 Being any minor-league lifer sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) Probably time to go to Europe and make some coin for the next 5 years or so. That being said, a local product who is the scoring champ at the highest level of minor league professional hockey in NA is a very nice accomplishment. 👍🏻 Edited May 1, 2022 by LabattBlue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the cellists at the Buffalo Philharmonic might want to play for the London Symphony, but they're pretty happy with an orchestra job, you know? In certain fields--and sports is one of them--you've got to be in the top 2% even to get the lower tier jobs.

Maybe not, but it let's people process his point based on the facts. $70,000 is a helluvalot different than $500,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do me a favor, go out onto the ice after working out all off season, have a few 200+ lb guys come full speed at you and smack you around into the boards, and while you're at it, take a screaming frozen cylinder of rubber to the face for good measure. He may love his job more than other, but it's not easy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a combat diver in the Navy for 5 years, trust me I am well aware of that aspect. Separating military life from civilian life; I would love to be a hockey player, I think I would enjoy it. But those guys don't get there without continuous hard work. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you’re saying that playing hockey is easier than getting shot at? Ya know?… I think a agree with you. This is just a stupid argument.
