Best players on shootouts?

[aufheben]

Players with at least 80 attempts :

1. Frans Nielsen - 49,5 %
2. Jonathan Toews - 48,3 %
3. Brad Boyes - 44,3 %
4. Radim Vrbata - 42,9 %
5. Sidney Crosby - 42 %

That seems like a little too big of a sample size.

 

[Mattb124]

Joonas Donskoi has been automatic this year, phenomenal hands.

 

[TheAngryHank]

Mark A Fleury.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Anyone who shoots on Lehner. Since he's been traded to Buffalo he's faced 16 shooters. 3 guys have missed the net, of the other 13, 12 scored. Shooters were 8 for 8 against Lehner last year.

 

[WTFetus]

Vanek always was good at that..
But his Best Shootout Goal was that....


No one later do this i think only 2 Palyers ever or?

Legend.

Chara did it at least two times.

 

[walloftvs]

Same with Brian Rolston.

 

[Riseonfire]

More shootout threads, more disrespect for Frans Nielsen.

Best shootout player ever.

 

[slovakia18]

Chara did it at least two times.

in the NHL?
When?

 

[Seanaconda]

in the NHL?
When?

I don't want to go through every shootout or penalty shot attempt but a few guys have scored with slappers rolston as mentioned was famous for a bit cuz of it,


It only really works like most things if the goalie doesn't expect it.

 

[Aggie204]

Small sample size, but Laine is 4/5 in the shootout. All of them scored the same way

Yep, he's very good. Always was known as a shootout specialist in Finland.


On the slappers - Personally I think it's one of the least impressive shootout moves. I really would love to know what goes on in people's minds when they suggest that slapshots on shootouts are "amazing". You shoot as hard as you can and the puck goes where it will - Sometimes you score, sometimes you don't. It's the most boring shootout move imaginable.

 

[Gereth]

Radim Vrbata is currently sitting on a record of "Most shootout goals in an NHL ice hockey career". 42,9 % also seems pretty good. But hey, it's just numbers.

 

[slovakia18]

ok didn't know..
2006 the say vanek was the first after Rolston later pronger who did that goal in the NHL (Slapshot at th Shootout).

"Am 9. Dezember 2006 entschied er das Spiel seiner Sabres gegen die Canadiens de Montréal im Shootout, in dem er den Torhüter der Canadiens mit einem Schlagschuss bezwang. Er war erst der zweite Spieler nach Brian Rolston, dem dies gelang".
Thomas Vanek - WikiVisually
The say he was the second guy who did that..

. Boston Bruins forward Brian Rolston, Minnesota Wild forward Thomas Vanek and Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger have all used this strategy with success. In fact, Pronger succeeded in using this strategy in the 2006 Stanley Cup Finals against Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Cam Ward as a member of the Edmonton Oilers.
Penalty shot (ice hockey) - Wikipedia

chara was later because than makes sence i think..

But it doesnt matter was not my intantion that discussion want only say Vanek is one of the best in the Shootout i think..(and the "best list in the NHL is long, really long)

 

[I am not exposed]

Pirri is really good.

 

[agent082]

Small sample size, but Laine is 4/5 in the shootout. All of them scored the same way

One shootout move works limited time of period even if it is really good. Ask Jussi Jokinen.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Oshie is easily the best I've seen; not exactly a well-hidden secret. He's the only player I know that approaches every attempt the same way but switches it up at the end to a repertoire of a few different moves so the goalie never knows what's coming, even if they have the entire book on him. It's like an ace pitcher that masks his delivery with the same windup and hits you with a fastball, change-up or curveball at will.

Kind of hard to see what's going on here but you get the point:

 

[RiskyBryzness21]

Datsyuk earlier in his career.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Barkov mostly uses so called "Forsberg move".

 

[No More Subban]

Not sure about his % but Parenteau was pretty good at it too. At least from what I've seen when he was in Montreal. He also scored them all with just one move.

 

[Hint1k]

Oshie is basically the king of shootouts. There is his level and all others on the level below. I am usually surprised when he does not score on shootout

Damn, they had that many goalies in net and didn't stop even one?

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Frans Nielsen currently leads all current NHL players with the most SO goals of all time as of now.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Pirri is really good.

Not better then Frans Nielsen who leads all current NHL in shoot out goals as of now.

 

[Golden_Jet]

I feel like Gaudreau must be pretty good.

 

[paragon]

Barkov is my favorite, but I think Oshie is the best. It's not in the NHL stats, but it was also funny when he scored 4 times in one SO against Russia in Sochi.
