Extremely fast players who didn't lose their speed over time

[Bounces R Way]

Cogliano is only 31 but he's still as fast as ever.

 

[LeProspector]

Shean Donovan was an UNDERRATED skater.

 

[ObscureAlien]

wasn't Ray Whitney pretty fast late into his career?

 

[Seanaconda]

wasn't Ray Whitney pretty fast late into his career?

Probably quicker than fast but he never really got slow

 

[Seanaconda]

I wish hemsky could play a game without tearing apart part of his body because he could fly and was so fun to watch but was stuck in edm

 

[Paul4587]

Cogliano is only 31 but he's still as fast as ever.

He’s still fast but he’s definitely lost a bit of a step, his top end speed isn’t what is was 2-3 years ago.

 

[ScaredStreit]

Father Time plays no favorites. Even though some of the fastest guys might still be fast into their late 30's, they're still not as fast as they used to be.

 

[ReggietheSavage15]

Jason Chimera still has wheels at 39.

 

[Cygnusx1018]

Most of speedsters lose their speed with age and injuries like Gaborik and Bure.

Are there any who didn't? Jason Chimera is the only one who comes to mind.

This year Chimmers definitely lost it.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Patrick Marleau
Bret Hedican
Scott Gomez

 

[OVrocks]

Brooks Orrpik

 

[KarmaPolice]

Marian Hossa?

 

[XX]

Ray Whitney kept up his weight and his skating somehow until he was pretty old.

 

[Price is Wright]

Bob Bourne never slowed down from what I remember.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Mike Gartner?

This. His fastest skater record at the all-star game stood for nearly 20 years and he was 36 when he set it.

 

[Seanaconda]

Father Time plays no favorites. Even though some of the fastest guys might still be fast into their late 30's, they're still not as fast as they used to be.

I'm pretty sure chimera doesn't slow down

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Marty St. Louis was blowing past fools at 39.

He had bigger legs than dudes who were 8 inches taller than him.

 

[ScaredStreit]

I'm pretty sure chimera doesn't slow down

Slow down =/= slow skater. I saw just about every game Chimera played on the Islanders and he was definitely slower than before. That doesn't mean he was slow though.

 

[LamorielloAndSon]

How on earth had no one said Grabner yet

Because he started to lose a step while he was still an islander

 

[LeafFever]

Mike Gartner set the skills competition fastest player record at age 36. It only was beaten recently.
Best example currently is Marleau.

 

[ForsbergForever]

Going only by highlights, from what i've seen Guy Lafleur still looked fast even with the Rangers/Nordiques.

 

[Appleyard]

From the Flyers:

Eric Desjardins
Mark Howe


Both just as fast the day they retired... both can still outskate current NHLers going off the veteran games at the Winter Classic.
