Bure playing with wooden sticks and the equivalent in skates. Today's skates and it's not even close at all.
Is Miles Wood faster than McDavid?

Because many posters can't equate apples with apples. Like Price is obviously better goalie than Mike Smith so posters will automatically think that in every category Price is better. Nope. Not how it works. Same thing here. McDavid is highly loved on these boards so many posters are voting out of his status because it's hard for them to fathom that a B level player can be better than him in 1 category. They don't want to hear it.

A couple of these players can skate almost as fast as 97 in a straight line...but how fast can they get to that top speed.
One end you have a 1000 hp Bugatti Miles Wood
0-100 in 2.9s
The other end you have a Tesla model 6 ludicrous mode
0 to 100 in 2.4s
It doesn't matter how fast you skate , because McDavid is the fastest accelerating player in hockey history. By the time Miles Wood picks up speed McDavid is gone. Nobody accelerates like Connor McDavid.
He is the most efficient skater in the modern NHL. He doesn't power through his strides, uses angle, momentum, quickness and pure skating intelligence to blow by people in an instant. Coupke with that bow legged stride very similar to Mike Gartner.
A hockey rink is only 85 by 200 or whatever it is. Connor McDavid owns that space. It's his domain and everyone on the ice adjusts their style to try prevent him from making them look silly. Miles Wood would be just like any other fast skater. Get blown away every shift he goes out against 97.
In 30 years no one is going to care if Miles Wood somehow was able to skate with McDavid in a straight line, they would know 97 was the fastest hockey player that ever played.
Just stop with these bullshxx threads and polls now.

Wood's acceleration is better than McDavid. Just look at how he owned Orlov who is a fast skater. 1 or 2 strides and it was over. McDavid is better NHL player but he isn't faster.
Or can you not see that?

[mod] No Woods isn't faster then McDavid. Just stop man. No one out accelerates Connor McDavid.

Bruh, didn't you see the video @illpucks posted? Wood once skated faster in a straight line, with a head start, to a puck that he had the inside track on, than Dmitry Orlov. I mean, if once beating Orlov in a race to a loose puck isn't irrefutable, concrete proof of being the fastest skater ever, then what is?

If you actually look at the pylon setup in the AHL and NHL it is a big difference coming out of the corner. It's pretty evident. In the NHL Greco won't be Puting up 13.25. Fast mofo though.

Lol now we got Orlov as the standard which measures Woods skating. What's his actual timed run....
Let's see how Woods does 3 on 3 versus 97. All this talk...where is that elusive 13.3 run to prove it. McDavid just turned 22. Once he gains more power.....ouch

Sorry to burst your bubble

Any post that has Kesler as faster than McDavid should be discarded. You can't actually be f***ing serious?
Also doesn't even spell "MacDavid's" name properly.

You have literally zero credibility with anything in regards to McDavid.
"McDavid will not finish anywhere near the top in scoring. Book it."
"It's not just 34 who will finish ahead of him."

It's from McDavid's first year. But that poster was saying McDavid has best acceleration in history which is not true. If anything it would be Ovi based on that chart.clearly BS.
a poor skater like tavares faster than mcdavid?
