Kid has size issues, he will NEVER make it

Kid has size issues, he will NEVER make it

He's just an 8 year old kid he could be like 4'4" now but when he's 18 he could be 6'2".

thanks chaosrevolver

Kid is the next Rob Hisey.

 

[Dgill]

This kid will get his ass kicked in his teenaged years before he gets a chance to go places, cocky little frigger...

 

[GirardSpinorama]

pfft, I was way more skilled and slightly more mature ... at 17.

 

[MOGlLNY]

LOL - yeah really! Although I never referenced the "NHL" once in my post - 3 of those 8 year olds are playing in the NHL right now. If you can shoot a puck, you can pick corners son - doesn't matter if 4 years old. You're 14 years old playing Varsity, and you can't pick corners from the blue line? At your next practice, take 10 shots from the blueline, and if you score one in the top right or left hand corner, or the bottom right or left hand corner - give yourself a pat on the back - you've just picked a corner! Every NHL'er can pick a corner from the hash - just because a player doesn't go 4 for 4 in the skills, doesn't mean he can't pick a corner. That's like saying Ovechkin isn't really a goal scorer, otherwise his goal total would match his shot total.

Kids miss the net, I still highly doubt 8 year olds can pick corners from the blue line. But whatever helps you sleep at night.

He was obviously kidding. He doesn't need at the end of the post for almost everyone to understand that.

No he wont.. No one fights over here

 

[JTG]

His celebrations could use some work...

I agree. Maybe on a smaller rink, but on nhl ice, from the blue line? Yeah right.

Physically impossible.

 

[CrimsonBruin21]

Terrible goaltending.

Unimpressed.

 

[Cappo40*]

Pssh...I was the aggressor on my teams..That takes skill

My first year of hockey (houseleague) I was actually pretty good (IIRC 23 goals), not like this kid, but then as I got older my points decrease and penalties increased ..Man Im an idiot for not continuing hockey, stopped at 16..

Yeah. Think about how few points and many penalties you would have today.

Matthias Emilio is Norwegian for Dustin Rose.

 

[Ciccarelli]

This guy will never make the big show. I mean look how small he is, only average skating, some decent moves but nothing special. There are better guys than him in the friggin ECHL which is basicly an amateur league!

 

[Rediscoveryx]

The one thing I'm worried about is his defensive awareness.

 

[Chapin Landvogt]

Not bad of course, but a dime a dozen.

Doesn't quite look like a prodigy or anything.

 

[Chris09]

Pathetic Thread.

 

[Pink Mist]

He needs to bulk up.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Honestly, there are probably 2000 kids exactly the same age who are just as good or better. The 30 or so who make it will be due to a mixture of good fortune and hard work.

 

[chaosrevolver]

Pathetic Thread.

Then why waste your time posting in it?

 

[Devils Mike*]

I remember the kid who didn't even play at 8 but made the NHL. LOL

 

[MLSE]

Terrible goaltending.

Unimpressed.

Tell that to Gretzky fans

 

[1970]

Looks like the next great hockey star from Norway to me.............wait Norway does not produce hockey stars???

lol

The level of competition (or lack there of) is why he appears to dominate. How many 8 year olds even play hockey in Norway? I'd bet to say more 8 year olds in Western New York play organized hockey then in the entire country of Norway...
