Is Phaneuf The Most Wild Shooter Of All Time?

[quackquackquack]

Francois Beauchamin towards the end of his career could give Neon Dion a run for his money. Currently though, its gotta be Neon Dion.

Barn doors remained in mint condition around Joe Corvo.

An older player,but one Gaston Gingras comes to mind here....I remember everybody diving out of the way when that guy wound up

When I go to a gun range, I shoot the way you are supposed to shoot. None of this new age, looking-through-your-sight-or-taking-up-a-point-of-aim garbage.

You hold the rifle at the hip and just close your eyes before squeezing what feels like the trigger. Its gunna either hit the target or a bystander to your left who happened to look a little bit like the target when you squint really hard, but you know its gonna make a hole in something.

uhh

yeah dude

good one

Aaannnnd the shot by Phaneuf goes high and wide!

Like Shaq throwing free throws or Steve Saks throwing to first.

 

[winnipegger]

I remember when he was thought of as an elite D-man. Damn I feel old now.

First name that came to mind. Gaston Gingras had a cannon that was a greater danger to the fans (no netting) than the goalies.

Sami Salo, anyone?

 

[Hasbro]

Brad May's signature move with the Avalanche was having an open net a foot from the crease and putting his shot two feet out side the post.

Marc Andre Bergeron couldn't hit the net for shit either. Ryan Pulock misses the net quite often too

Until he met Elisha Cuthbert then Phaneufs decline began. Its like in the NFL when Tony Romo met Jessica Simpson.
Phaneuf had a goal last night that deflected off another teams player, i was hoping he'd set a record for most games without a goal.

 

[DeYarmond Edison]

Mikael Samuelsson was always good at not hitting the net.

 

[Bedards Dad]

Someone in the GDT Monday mentioned Muzzin is the new Phaneuf...

 

[Darth Bangkok]

Notorious MAB

My father/grandfather said that Eddie Shack was the wildest shooter. "He would fire the puck just to hear the sound of the backboards"...







...which kind of sounds like Dion.

Ha...forgot about him. Shack was like a less talented, and way more crazy Clutterbuck who fought....a lot.

Hahaha this made my day.

Bingo! We have a winner.

Watching the warm-up from behind the visitor's end in the old Edmonton Coliseum was downright dangerous when Gingras was in town. There was no net back then and this guys was so unpredictable no one had any idea where it was going.

 

[treple13]

When he was in Calgary he hit everything in sight and scored from. The blue line quite a bit. When he came to TO he stopped hitting and his shot went high and wide almost all the time.

His shot went high and wide most of the time in Calgary too. By the end, I hated having him on our PP, since he would pretty much shoot anytime he got the puck and it would generally get blocked and then cleared, or go wide and rim around the boards and out of the zone.

Not sure if he was more frustrating to watch in the offensive end or the defensive end.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

Jiri Slegr used to be just plain dangerous every time he shot from the point. Eventually he nearly took teammate Jason Arnott’s head off with a shot and all the commentators could say was that they were surprised it hadn’t happened earlier.

 

[danyhabsfan]

I was suprised how often Weber misses the net to be honest.

He's not worst than Phaneuf.

 

[Yamborghini]

I can't believe nobody has posted his greatest goal as a Leaf yet

 

[Orfieus]

 

[tom leafers]

Jesus thats terrifying. Imagine that coming for your face?

Hainsey looks like a disappointing dad whos son just blew the game winning shot.

 

[Oil Spill]

Sheldon Souray should be in this conversation.
