Laine just shot over 103.14762 mph

[NextYear67]

Wasn't an NHL regulation puck though. Irrelevant

 

[GodEmperor]

Awful, if you're not shooting 103.6784582x8547z already in the NHL, you're a bust.

 

[Mickey Marner]

I remember when Chad Kilger registered a shot at 106.6 at the Leafs skills competition

In 2004, Nathan Perrott won the hardest shot and fastest skater at the Leafs skill competition. He scored 4 goals in his 89 game NHL career. Today, he's a firefighter and amateur boxer.

The 5th decimal point seems like overkill when you decide to use the word "over" to make it unexact anyway.

 

[Henkka]

Truth1:

"Somebody somewhere ONCE shot a HARD shot."

Truth2:

"Patrik Laine constantly shoots very hard shots with an accuracy nobody else can do from same distance."

 

[Bounces R Way]

Finnish air is thinner. Just like Finnish beards .

 

[The Assclown]

I didn’t quite get how old Patrick Laine is, can a Finn bring me up to speed?

 

[Hivemind]

Wake me up when he shoots over 103.14763 mph

 

[gwh]

While I completely agree with the idea, al iafrate is an atrocious example of that. In a 7 year span through his prime, he was top 20 in NHL dmen scoring 5 times. And had several 20 goal seasons. Top 10 in the NHL. Top 5 a couple of years. Two of those top 10. And the 2 years he missed, were both injury shortened seasons for him. That's a terrible example of a dman scoring like a plumber. Were you unaware iafrate was a dman?

Maybe referring to end of Iafrate's career? He was not very sharp in the end of career.

 

[DDRhockey]

pettersson already shot harder then that

 

[islesfan186]

I don't see the big deal with having a hard clapper from the hashmarks. High velocity, accurate, quick release wrist shot to me is way more of a useful tool than being able to bomb a clapper from 15 feet away.
I'd be more interested to know what the speed of his wrist shot is

care to explain why not?

Well that's from the top of the left circle, not at the hasmarks, dead center. Shot placements is also key too, not just the velocity. That particular goal was off the far post and also had the goalie moving from left to right. Great goal scorer have a quick release and good accuracy along with being able to shot at a high velocity.
I still really would like to know what his wrister is clocked at cuz he has a damn good shot. Same with OV

 

[jrs]

anyone who doesn't think faster than light travel is possible clearly hasn't seen Laine's shot by the time he's 30

When the game starts its already over because laine scored 10 by then.

 

[CanadienShark]

mike fisher shot 105 at ottawas camp one year

and then a few years later zibanejad beat that with 106

so we will see if someone actually does something at the real nhl skills comp

As has been pointed out multiple times before, Laine has already broken 101 twice as an 18 year old at the NHL skills competition. Seems very reasonable that he broke 103 now.

 

[LordNeverLose]

Big whoop, Pulock has hit 105

 

[izzy]

As has been pointed out multiple times before, Laine has already broken 101 twice as an 18 year old at the NHL skills competition. Seems very reasonable that he broke 103 now.

whats the point here

zibby was 21

 

[Nico the Draft Riser]

101 doesn't win you the skills comp except in weak years and is nowhere near any record or impressive number.

Are you shooting 101mph?

The point of the thread is the KID is shooting 103+ at 20, no one claimed he was beating records.

 

[Alf the dwarf]

literally no one cares or accepts this.
show up at the NHL skills comp and do it, then it'll count.

What the f***, so it doesn't count if you shoot the puck outside of north-america?

 

[Hokinaittii]

pettersson already shot harder then that

Nope. I don't think he has even broken 100 mph yet. He shot sligtly less than 98 mph at the WHC.

 

[Erikfromfin]

Matthews shoots muffins

 

[Psych0dad]

Are you shooting 101mph?

The point of the thread is the KID is shooting 103+ at 20, no one claimed he was beating records.

This guy gets it. It's impressive by itself. Shows steady improvement too. Some just don't like it. Or care for it. But if they didn't care they wouldn't comment.

 

[CanadienShark]

whats the point here

zibby was 21

Seems pretty reasonable that he could improve his strength and shot since then. It's not like he jumped 10mph or something. This seems like a totally normal progression path for a young player.

Which NHL skills competition did Zibanejad hit 106 at? Laine broke 101 twice at the NHL skills comp. And there's a pretty huge difference between 18 and 21 for most people.

 

[saxonmiller]

More impressive was that Reijo Freaking Ruotsalainen won Pettri Nummelin in skating competiton. Nummelin is not young himself but he was active not so long time ago

Played for the Nikko Ice Bucks in the Asian League last year as a 45-46 year old!

 

[Master P]

Looks like the puck is placed closer to the net then the one used in the allstar game.

Still impressive though

 

[Canada Drai]

how so? Laine shot 101,3 at all star game when he was 18 years old

But how did he do @ 19?

 

[blinkman360]

Be sure to drink lots of water. I want you to stay healthy. It would be a darn shame if you Phu coughed.

Actually, its probably better to let it all out. Go ahead and Phu cough.
