Why was Swaggy P a bust ?

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Trenton Titans, 2011-12? No idea who he is but good chance I saw him live

I'll bite.

That guy, whoever he may be, didn't make the NHL for the same reason a guy like Grayson Boucher never made the NBA, or all these freestyle soccer artists never making it to the big leagues. I'm also sure Arena Football has a ton of Quarterbacks and Wide Receivers who can do all kinds of "skills".

The thing you seem to not understand that most team sports are so much more than just skills. It's a combination of athleticism, skills and tactical intelligence.

A guy who is great at dangling with a puck or juggling a ball but is terrible at seeing open lanes and knowing when to pass or how to open up to receive a pass is simply not professional material.

Any coach worth his salt will tell you that the play away from the puck is as, if not more important than plays where you possess the puck

Who and if he never played in the NHL why is it on the NHL board?

Also how tall is he? Hockey DB has him at 6-4 but eliteprospect has him at 5-4 which if the real one, that is likely a part of it. Both sites have him listed as 165lbs which is more likely if he is 5-4.

For him to be a "bust" he would have had to have been better than mediocre his entire life which, well.... He wasnt.

You're seriously asking why a guy who couldn't put up .5 ppg in the EBEL never made the NHL?

 

[GeeoffBrown]

Perhaps he only gave 109%

@captainpaxil now this is a gurp shitto thread

 

[TheGreenTBer]

I wish for nothing but failure for anyone who goes by "Swaggy P"

This.

flashy moves with a hockey stick doesn't equal a talented hockey player.

For everyone else to not have to Google this: he means the Professor.

It's a good comparison, though. There's a reason the Professor makes his living in 1-on-1 games. His hands and ball skills are amazing, but they aren't functional in a 5-on-5 professional level.

Compare the Professor to Jason Williams, it's the same difference between Swaggy P and a Trevor Zegras.

Kudos OP on the mysterious thread title. I am a more learned boomer in the ways of the internet today thanks to you. Just needed to do a bit of meme research.

I blame it on Atlanta

Could also have to do with this being him and Hilary Knight side by side. She’s like 5’10

“Swaggy” looks like Waluigi.

 

[iamjs]

Peter Lenes ? Yall have seent him on instagram with the silky mitts and dank dangles.

He is undoubtedly a #shortking but this hasnt stopped Nathan Gerbe or Theo fleury or even yung Rocco grimaldi from making the show .

So how did a guy so skilled who is viral not even get drafted??

(shaking my head)

This is a joke, right?

Damn she looks absolutely jacked

Damn she looks absolutely jacked

Until you look at her next to NHL players and then the answer to this thread becomes absurdly clear.

 

[LokiDog]

Alternative answer:

This is what Chara and Gerbe looked like. Except Eichel isn’t above average size (for the league).

Wasn't that the dude that dated Iggy Azalea?

idk why he was a bust, I aint a basketball fan.
