[Discussion] The hardest accurate shots around the league

[PettersonHughes]

Been watching some Ryan Pulock shot videos earlier, and it got me thinking: with the likes of Zdeno Chara getting older and however many years Shea Weber still has in the league, who's part of the next crop of hardest shooters around the league?

Of course as a Vancouver fan I'm well aware of Pettersson and his one timer/ ASG shot at 102.4, along with renowned D-men like Carlson (104.5), Hedman (102.1), Seth Jones (98.8 -- not too shabby at all).

However, I'm sure that I've missed many young guns who can pack heat. For instance, I haven't seen much of Pulock or Gurianov from Dallas while on the west coast, but goodness these guys can bring it.

Who are some of the top guys from your team who can really let one fly that I've missed?

There's a pretty obvious one you left out of your OP

 

[Kcb12345]

Laine too

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Jeff Petry has quite a bomb that has been less noticed than it would be (overshadowed by Shea Weber and all)

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

I wouldn't be surprised if Mike Hoffman is up there, that guy can let them rip.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Matthews, Eichel and Laine can all rip it accurately.

Idk how hard Draisaitl shoots by comparison, but he's the best at putting the puck where the goaltender isn't.

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

Matthews, Eichel and Laine can all rip it accurately.

Idk how hard Draisaitl shoots by comparison, but he's the best at putting the puck where the goaltender isn't.

Draisaitl has been shooting at 20% for two seasons now, he’s accurate as hell and the puck has velocity to go with it

 

[amnesiac]

Pasta probably has the best one timer

and didnt Jason Garrison have a really hard shot?

 

[The Moose is Loose]

Draisaitl has one of the best shots in the league. He is 2nd in Ovi in goals over the past 2 full seasons for a reason. His shot very hard and snaps off quick because of that huge paddle of a blade he has, the reason most players don't use a blade that shape is because it's harder to be accurate, yet Draisaitl makes it work for him and he is one of the top snipers in the league.

Hell if he just had a single empty netter last year he'd have a rocket to his name as well.

If you're looking at just speed- from the Oilers: Bouchard has a 103 MPH slapshot. Puljujarvi was also over 100.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Shea Weber still exists folks

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Uh, Stamkos? Idk about the mph but he has one of the most accurate one timers in the league and he usually sets up closer to the goal line than Ovi, less to shoot at.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Shea Weber still exists folks

It says "accurate" shots

 

[drktmplr12]

Mike Hoffman (100.8)

Skills: Cowen is Senators new king of the Hardest Shot competition | Ottawa Citizen

 

[Kairi Zaide]

It says "accurate" shots

He's very accurate at hitting the board.

 

[howkie]

Chariot has the record for Jets for the hardest shot. I think it was over 105 mph (if the instrument was correct calibrated)
I think he has a decent accrucy, not Laine but better then me

 

[Perfect_Drug]

The two I thought of was Laine teleporting the puck into the net.




And Drai's clapper.

 

[CartographerNo611]

Frk has the hardest shot with zero accuracy to it lol.

 

[Oddbob]

Frk has the hardest shot with zero accuracy to it lol.

Take it easy. He has great accuracy, not sure what you are watching? He can hit a barn 1 out of every 5 shots with his shot, so that is pretty good!

 

[Kranix]

Frk has the hardest shot with zero accuracy to it lol.

109 mph with a 70 flex

 

[MessierII]

If you're looking at just speed- from the Oilers: Bouchard has a 103 MPH slapshot. Puljujarvi was also over 100.

Bouchard has the potential to be the next big shot D man for sure.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Kubalik

 

[SI90]

Pulock Has an absolutely Cannon but I wouldn’t say it’s always accurate.

I feel Like Hoffman has a wicked one timer and it usually hits the net.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Brandon Pirri has a sick shot. His one-timer goal vs Carey Price was so sweet.

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Pulock Has an absolutely Cannon but I wouldn’t say it’s always accurate.

I feel Like Hoffman has a wicked one timer and it usually hits the net.

I do find it accurate, I just find his ability to get open and set is brutal. Pulock should be a 15-20 goal dman if he could put himself in a position to shoot more. And I'll add an easily to that.
