Prime Ovechkin was one of the fastest players in the league. Quite possibly the most explosive player I've ever seen.

39-year-old Marleau is 6'2, 220 lbs. and soars effortlessly up ice. Last season he beat young Marner on counterattack surges. His stride is so efficient he glides at top speed by the time he hits the blueline.
Was watching Marleau the other night against the Flyers and he was one of the fastest guys on the ice.

The Big M was the first name who came to mind.

Bob Gainey had great speed, maybe why he shifted from d to forward when he was younger. He still hit like he was a defenceman.

Big Al Iafrate..

He had no business skating like he did. Mainly during his tenure with the Leafs.

What a strange player he was, so many tools but couldn't read a blue print, he actually played his best hockey later in his career, like many a Leaf. Big Al could have a thread to himself with some of his shtick over the years, one strange cat!

Gord Stellick was on the radio recently talking about Al, who was very concerned about a rapidly receding hairline, was walking around the dressing room, sans clothes, but with his white helmet on, and lit up a torch to set the curve of his hockey sticks, and perhaps lit his cigarette first. :eek:
