What say you? Do these "pros" read what we post? Does ownership perhaps?The league shmos?

I don't think so, they have less time on their hands and this is a job to them... I would really doubt it

I think there were a couple of nhlers that were confirmed to have posted here (not NYI). Chris Botta used to post on the mania board.

And I believe that Scott Gomez comes here to get PP ideas.

That is interesting, do you know who they were?

It was a few years ago. Some young players. Drafted by a west coast team I believe

 

[Darth Bangkok]

Bob McKenzie decided to give posting here a try once. Then quickly changed his mind hahahaha

 

[attilatheislander]

I could see a player's family member or girlfriend looking through a thread devoted to the player they know, maybe out of boredom or curiosity.

 

[The Lighthouse]

I'm confident Capuano, Weight, Snow came here for some inspiration.

Gotta call BS on that
If Gomez came here for ideas, the power play would’ve been fixed.

Man I think Gomez from the Addams FAmily would have better success.

Just don't think players take this as seriously as fans do.... I always remember the scene in Fever Pitch where Jimmy Fallon was a lot more upset about a Red Sox loss than the players he saw in the bar that were laughing and having a good time.

Working at Dr G's in the early 1980s'... you couldn't tell if the team won or loss by how they acted 2 hours later

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

I post here.

I'm confident Capuano, Weight, Snow came here for some inspiration.

I think they were just looking for Shane Prince's sister's Instagram account.

If any Isles came here, I would want them off the team asap...

Players 100% read HF. Not saying they engage but I know for a fact some players browse.

 

[doublechili]

I'm pretty sure Sean Avery posts on the main board under several different user names.

I forgot when Baghdad Botta posted there

You say some players browse and won't tell us who? Shame on you.

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

I seem to remember Matt Donovan's dad / uncle / brother on here?

 

[Fantom]

yes 100% way to many of them to not have any looking.

Brian Strait, iirc.

Bigd where are youuuuu?

David Perron used to browse here and 100% used to post on ModSquadHockey. There are some Long Island guys that browse here, but I don't wanna blow up anyone's spot and get yelled at lol

Also, if the very few people I know of browse, there are likely lots more that I don't know of. Some devils guys lurk here for sure.

 

[PK Cronin]

Everyone google's their name, I'm sure plenty come across it. Whether or not they take the time to post or care what anyone is saying, that's something I wouldn't have a clue about.

Wasn't there a guy here years ago who was such a strong supporter of one player that some people really thought it was him (or a relative)? I'm drawing a blank on the player. Former high draft pick on another team with great skills who never panned out....

I was referring to the lawyer

That's either Broadway Jay on Donovon or someone else about Schremp. Can't think of anyone else that matches that.
