Although his one time was nasty I'll always remember kovalchuk for his laser wrister

I'm with you on this. Kovy had an absurd wrister. One timer was great, but nothing outstanding compared to his competition.

I say:

Hull
Stamkos
Kovalchuk

During his Atlanta years I think his slapshot was the best among forwards.

 

[Ben White]

Hull not really close

 

[Stuzchuk]

éhull by a mile and a half

Stamkos has arguably the nicest 1-timer in the league over the past decade. The only competition is Ovi who scores more 1-timer goals but his shooting percentage would indicate he’s taking that shot over twice as much.

 

[M88K]

This is Hull by a LOT

 

[Canes]

Only Ovechkin is close or possibly better than Hull. Hull in his prime was arguably the best of all-time in most type of shots, including one-timers. Hull played in a higher scoring era but Kovalchuk, Ovechkin and Stamkos played in a golden era of stick technology which certainly helps as well.

That doesn't necessarily mean Stamkos is better. Ovechkin's release has always been stupidly quick allowing him to get more chances. One-timers are the most difficult shot to get off in the current era other than a straight slap shot.

someone please post that Stamkos one timer where he was like on the goal line and got a pass from the point and one timed it beautifully, from like 1 degree angle. That is some serious skill.

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Hull, not really close imo.

 

[SotasicA]

It's Brett. Stammer second.

 

[ESH]

I think Hull, Stamkos, Kovalchuk, and Ovechkin would be the top-4 of all time. Is there anyone else that could crack into that group?

 

[Fixxer]

Kovalchuk never had a 60 goal season like the 2 others.... but he never had a Oates/Martin St.Louis to pass him the puck.

 

[Torspo21]

Jari Kurri had a good one also.

That 0:40 second mark when you see the pass coming and how he times his "deflection".

 

[JasonRoseEh]

It's Ovechkin but the poll is between these 3 sooooo...

It's hard to go against Hull here but if Stamkos didn't get injured he'd still be piling up goals from the same circle and his shot is/was insane. People will poo poo Kovalchuk here as his wrister seems to be the patented shot but on the the Thrashers his one T was the best in the league and he can still hammer it home now.

Splitting hairs but I don't think you can pick against Hull but I'd take all 3 to shoot the puck from a one timer and day of the week.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Brett or Bobby

 

[JaegerDice]

Stamkos.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

I'm going to name someone other than the usual suspects here. Some will recall them play live, some will not. But Jari Kurri and Mike Bossy.

 

[Offtheboard412]

Splitting hairs between these 3. I give the nod to kovalchuk because he was shooting it from farther out than the other 2. Laine is the only guy I've seen since him that can consistently go bar down from the point like Kovalchuk.

Laine is right there with them.

Nailed it.
