Which NHL players read HFboards

[PensBandwagonerNo272*]

Chris Osgood once posted on a pens board to refute a rumour posted by someone who claimed to own a holiday home next to his.

Osgood is such a nerd

Wayne Gretzky said that hf is the GOAT

Not HF, but Andrew Ference used to post on CalPuck as "Okotoker" until he was traded to Edmonton.

Nice dude.

Signed in EDM as a free agent.

 

[Proust*]

Peter Worrell used to post as "Andreas Lilja".

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Jason Spezza used to read HF a lot dont know if he had an account or not.

If this is true I hope he stayed away from the Sens forum.

 

[Voight]

If this is true I hope he stayed away from the Sens forum.

He asked for a trade, so probably not

 

[Lord Helix]

If this is true I hope he stayed away from the Sens forum.

I hope he read the Spezza threads in the trade forum...Chock-full of gold.

 

[HarrisonFord]

I think there's probably some player relatives on here

 

[thesensguy]

If speezza read some of the stuff about him on the sens forum, then holy **** he doesn't get hurt easy, we would roast him after a win pretty much

 

[Man Rocket]

for sure a good amount of players and prospects probably lurk. not sure that many post

 

[Royale With Cheese]

I think there's probably some player relatives on here

I think NHL Player Derek Morris' brother-in-law was posting here in the Coyotes section for a while. Seemed legit.

 

[The Nightman]

lol that's awesome! How did you know?

LG is the top league for 6v6, heard he's pretty good over there.

 

[zombie kopitar]

Couture or his agent/family/someone close posted for some time while he was mostly in Junior

Sort of got called out on it the his account was deleted promptly

He would for sure be a 10k plus poster if wasn't actually in the NHL

 

[Mighty Makar]

Peter Worrell used to post as "Andreas Lilja".

 

[Hackett]

Brian Savage posted for a couple days on the habs board. He never came back and I don't blame him.

If I was in the NHL, I would totally avoid this place.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Bobby Mac and other used to post here back in the day

Back in the good ole days--we had nearly every beat writer of teams on this site--but that was over ten years ago

 

[cptjeff]

Brett Pesce's dad occasionally chimes in on the Canes board, and from the stuff he brings up during broadcasts, it's pretty obvious that Tripp Tracy reads it.

HF is pretty well known in hockey circles. I'm sure most players have at least browsed it occasionally. 70 year old GMs? Maybe not so much.

Edit: posted in the wrong thread, sorry. Meant to post this in the more recent one.

 

[Club]

Jeremy Bracco's grandfather posts on the Leafs board sometimes

 

[Fantomas]

 

[FrozenJagrt]

Pretty sure psychodad is Laine

 

[Nino33]

IMO some will have heard of the forum; I don't think any actual established NHLers have an account here or spend any time on the site at all

As for HFBoards being well known in hockey circles...is it a good well known? I've never heard/seen anyone say anything positive about HFBoards outside of HFBoards, but I've heard negativity about HFBoards and how it's not well respected/well thought of in hockey circles

 

[sparxx87]

Not sure about actually posting but I know a couple who read on July 1st for updates..

Not sure what people expect, it's a forum for fans and serves that purpose very well. No difference in that sense to other sports forums with fans.

In serious, it would be naive to think players don't read. There have to be a good number. This is the largest hockey discussion site around, and players are human. Humans have egos. They want to see what's being said about them.

Now, there are many players who will go out of their way to avoid reading anything hockey related for good reason. But there are certainly some who can't resist the temptation.

My cousin Pietrangelo has an account here and posts unrealistic trade proposals which he then sends to the guys he made it about, and then they all laugh about it together.
