That breakaway event was as legit as WWE wrestling. Funnny how it always comes down to the last shooter. Oh well looks like all the youngins in atterndance had fun.

 

[Hhane Snidy]

Great time! My 7 yr old got a Ladd autograph. Some dirtbag collecter was cutting the line with an armful of schwag to get signed. He finally got booted. The players were good about it and signed for the kids for quite a while.

Ben Chiarot told us that Byfuglien said to him on the ice: "You can shoot that hard but you still have to pass to me in the game"

What did the collector look like? I might know him.

Really skinny with hipster glasses and a beard. Oh and he had a Hockey Futures Board t-shirt.;p

 

[JC Numminen]

Chiarot can shoot 107?!

Is it the same distance as the NHL all star game one?

 

[jetsforever]

I think his nickname should be Hellephant.

This is good

Trying to trick Ladd into signing his new 'team friendly' contract.

 

[Arthur Fonzarelli]

Worst DJing in the history of DJing.

Who was spinning?

[Aavco Cup]

After the hardest shot competition the players lined up to try the machine out and see what "they had" Lots of numbers in the 80's for most players including Scheifele, but he did impress me with a backhand over 50mph

that is a funny picture! A funny, funny picture!

 

[YWGinYYZ]

@Aavco - a 50mph backhand is getting into Crosby territory with regards to speed. That's impressive.

I think he even impressed himself with that.

There have been many good photoshop pictures posted on this board. If this is not number 1, it's definitely number 2 or 3.

 

[Channelcat]

Damn....Postma can do it all, except play hockey

 

[Positive]

Terrible breakaway contest, lol!

Chiarot can unload it. At first I was thinking it was just because of his approach (he takes a long skate up to the puck as opposed to Buff who kind of starts from a standstill) but everyone tried this technique and he still blew them all away. Multiple 100+mph shots.

 

[Duke749]

So why does Chairot never one time the puck? No accuracy?

 

[LadyJet26]

He has to hit the net in order for it to count in the skills.

He's just not being used properly IMO. He should be on our pp but yet we have a forward on the point. Don't get this with the fire power on our backend

I wonder what scheifeles wrister or snapshot would clock in at.

I'm thinking it would be pretty damn impressive.

Interesting. Don't be surprised to see Scheifele take a noticeable amount of backhand shots over the next 2-3 games. He just scored against the Leafs on a backhander and now saw how fast it actually is by pure numbers.

I personally thought NHL players would have access to a speed measurement machine in order to keep up to date with what their numbers actually are but they obviously wouldn't have been that interested in trying out their shots if they would.
