Best wrist shots?

[Hockeyholic]

Joe Sakic?

 

[ESH]

Just off the top of my head Jakob Silfverberg, Brad Marchand, Jack Eichel, Patrick Kane, Jamie Benn, Jeff Carter, Max Pacioretty, Mike Hoffman, Phil Kessel, Vladimir Tarasenko, Auston Matthews, Alex Ovechkin, and Patrik Laine all have wicked wristshots. There's probably more players I could put in with them but these are the guys that really stood out.

 

[Daximus]

Terrorsenko bar none right now.

 

[Mattb124]

Burns, pots them from the blue line.

 

[Boud]

Hoffman's shot is just insane

 

[Dbrownss]

Tarasenko being mentioned three times is just absurd

Clarify....

1:46 is the times quick release of the goal above. 0.83 sec.

Laine/thread. Also Tarasenko deserves mention.

 

[SaltNPeca]

Burns.

Burnsy with those greasy wristers from the blue line!

 

[Hokinaittii]

It's between Tarasenko and Laine.

 

[DaPhazz]

Nylander

m'yeah sure

 

[al secord]

Philadelphia J. Kessel refuses to be excluded.

Tank
Laine
Marner

The three best

 

[saxonmiller]

Scheifele has a nice one.

 

[CanadienShark]

Tarasenko, Burns, Laine are just three names that jump to mind.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Almost all the players with the best wrist shots have been mentioned, but one name hasn't come up and I'm surprised nobody mentioned him. Artemi Panarin. This guy has an excellent wrist shot, beats goalies clean from the circles and from tough angles.

 

[Unspecified]

Benn and Spezza are two of the best IMO

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Hoffman

 

[The Macho King]

Tarasenko. Kucherov's is lethal too.

 

[WonderTwinsUnite]

I know he's not an established star, but Brock Boeser has a nasty wrister.

 

[KingBran]

Tarasenko being mentioned three times is just absurd

You're right. You are post #19 and only 3 times? Probably should have been 10 by that point. His shot is THAT good. Gets my vote.

 

[Beyonder91]

Terrorsenko bar none right now.

Yep... Tarasenko no debate

Laine has a great one too but he scores more while the goalie is not set. Tarasenko beats squared up goalies clean with ease. It's pretty scary.

 

[KingBran]

Joe Sakic?

I would agree with this if we are talking historically. But currently its Tarasenko. HM Laine.
