Laine just shot over 103.14762 mph

[HolyCrap]

Math problem: both cars are driving on a perfectly straight freeway, and pucks aren’t affected by gravity or air friction.

Driver A is driving 120 mph

Driver B is driving 50 mph. And is also 1.75 miles behind Driver A on the Autobahn.


Driver B for some inexplicable reason has Patrik Laine standing on the front hood of his car, and Laine hits a perfect 103 mph slap shot directly at Driver A’s car. How much time will elapse before Laine’s puck hits Driver A’s car?

I have no clue Pal. But I do know that I’ve read lotsa your posts and realized I’m way dumber than you. I’m gonna sit back and wait for the answer on the short bus I was dropped off on. Lol.

There's always a player or two on every team at their individual skills competitions every year that get into triple digits. But because they aren't star players they aren't in the All-Star competitions. Weber and Chara are still the Kings, but I think there are a bunch of players that could give them a run if plugs were allowed to join. lol

 

[FrozenJagrt]

Did they skate up from the blue line?

 

[TT1]

lmao their gun went up to the 5th decimal?

 

[SotasicA]

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

Maybe he means the current Al Iafrate. He hasn't put his shot to use, and hasn't scored in years. A total plumber.

 

[SotasicA]

Six. Or seven Canadian.

 

[Machinehead]

That's an oddly specific number

 

[Alf the dwarf]

Where are the proper Finnish dman, centers and goalies?

They are on off-season atm, training for next season. They will be back when season starts. Don't worry.

I guess that was a joke. Actual number was 166.something kilometers per hour. Then converted to mph and you got your decimals.

 

[Hasa92]

Yes because Barkov, Rinne, Raanta and Rask are completely useless.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Yes because Barkov, Rinne, Raanta and Rask are completely useless.

Not sure why he tried to burn Finns on goalies. Dmen and C i understand, although it's getting better.

As Laine's lazers are known to defy the physics and therefore the puck will go with zero friction 103 mph until it hits something, this should be easy.

As Laine is standing on car B with velocity of 50 mph straight to the same direction he is shooting, that gives us ground speed of 50 + 103 = 153 mph.

Since the car B evades with velocity of 120 mph, puck is catching that car with velocity of 153 - 120 = 33 mph, and that relative velocity of 33 mph and that 1.75 miles distance are the only things that matters, aside Laine's Rocket race in coming season.

1.75 miles / 33 miles per hour = 0.053 h
or 190.9 seconds
or 3 minutes 11 seconds.

Dont even remember the equation for air resistance but what is the area of half the side of a puck?!?!

 

[Atas2000]

somehow all these numbers that show up from other venues fail to materialize at the NHL skills comp

Somehow all those numbers from the NHL skills comp fail to materialize anywhere else.

 

[Atas2000]

Oh man that means by the time he turns 24 he'll be shooting the puck at 124 mph.

Because extrapolations.

And Barkov will get a $124.000,4325913 speeding ticket for driving 180.453218mph.

Because everything gets better with time.

 

[Trilliann]

That's an oddly specific number

haha yeah, my guess is it was just copy pasted from a km/h to mph converter

 

[n00bxQb]

Dont even remember the equation for air resistance but what is the area of half the side of a puck?!?!

IIRC, it's half the frontal area x air density x coefficient of drag x velocity^2.

A puck is 1" thick x 3" in diameter. Frontal area would be 3 in^2.

 

[Not So Mighty]

I love how you say he shot "over 103.14762" as if defining the speed down to the hundred-thousandths place isn't specific enough. I'm dying to know how much over it went. 103.147621? 103.147622? 103.147623? Surely not more than 103.147624.

 

[Alf the dwarf]

Not sure why he tried to burn Finns on goalies. Dmen and C i understand, although it's getting better.

There is still elite ones like Sebastian Aho and Barkov, few good ones aswell like Koivu and Filppula. For defense there is many good prospects coming like Heiskanen. And for NHLers Ristolainen and Lindell are the best right now what we have to offer i quess. Määttä also if he gets himself going after his injurys and cancer.. Unlucky.

Not sure. From a stationary viewpoint, with yr provisos, the bullet is going 153 mph. From moving car A perspective not sure how to calculate.

Again, how many days til the damn puck drops?!?!

 

[Man Bear Pig]

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

I remember this way back when. Goes to show how silly this stuff is. I'd bet my bottom dollar that the majority of players could hit the 95+ mark. It doesn't mean a thing if you can't do it in a game. And you really can't. How often do you see a player get to take 3 or 4 strides and really lean into a shot? The game is way too tight for that to happen.

 

[Tage2Tuch]

A thread on Laine that has to do with his...shot? Get out. lol

 

[Notsince67]

Id say no forward, probably no D either have done those number as a 20 year old? Am I right

There is obviously and age factor to core strength

Al Iafrate had the best shot I ever saw. Hard to compare a wooden stick with a newer stick though

 

[JoVel]

lmao their gun went up to the 5th decimal?

That's probably km/h transferred to mph, hence the decimals.

 

[JoVel]

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

I don't think too many people care about skill competitions whether they're held in NHL or the Europe or Venus.
