I want to comment on so many things you said!
> These are my favorite stories and it really tells you how incredible you have to be to even get a shot in the NHL. Like if you even have one career game you were so incredibly good at hockey that its outlandish.
Check out this book. Sounds like you might enjoy it as much as I would. It isn't releasing until October but it's a compilation of stories from guys that only played one game in the NHL. I don't read books but I can't wait to read this.
> People tell me I have a good shot, and thanks to this guy I will never ever believe them.
Couldn't agree more. Growing up, I always thought I was pretty good. When I got older and started playing against some really good players, I realized how terrible I would likely be in comparison to the elite level. Even now, my snap shots are only in the mid 60 MPH range. My 10 year old kid slaps em at roughly 30 MPH. No offense to my kid, but the difference between his shot and my shoot is laughable. It's a 30 MPH difference. Then it hit me... my shot is 30 MPH slower than NHL players. The difference between my kid's shot and mine is the same difference between my shot and an NHL player. Just as laughable. No matter how good I think my shot is, I suck, haha.
