idk if grabner is even top 3 tbh, in his stint with the leafs he was really fast but i watch the pens quite a bit and hags just seems faster to me. And watching ottawa a fair amount i wouldnt say karlsson is top 6 either tbh.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Paul Byron should be there

 

[WesMcCauley]

idk if grabner is even top 3 tbh, in his stint with the leafs he was really fast but i watch the pens quite a bit and hags just seems faster to me. And watching ottawa a fair amount i wouldnt say karlsson is top 6 either tbh.

Grabner is definetely faster than Hagelin. I have watched both alot the last 5 years. Hagelin is fast but Grabner is just faster than anyone we play against. Ive never seen a player in the NHL beeing that fast when it comes to skating in a straight line. Its ridicolous. He has multiple breakaways every game.

I also think Karlsson is top 10. When he wants and needs to he is incredible fast.

Chris Kreider

 

[tsujimoto74]

Eichel's up there. Even with his high ankle sprain this season, he's still an incredible skater. Fully healthy, he's an ankle breaker.

 

[Joannie9]

Byron is top 5 no doubt

 

[Section32]

Kreider is very much in top 10.

He was faster than Hagelin in straight line...

 

[Hisch13r]

Been a while since we've had one guy on this list now we have 2 and soon to be 3. Unfortunately we still suck though

 

[CornerStone61]

Karlsson's acceleration is nuts but if you're looking for the fastest skater on the sens then you should look at Hoffman or Dzingel.



The Sens video guys also put out this version of the goal




Finding a video showcasing Hoffman's speed is a little harder since most just showcase his absurd shot, but I'm sure most have seen how fast he is by now.

 

[WesMcCauley]

Kreider is very much in top 10.

He was faster than Hagelin in straight line...

Agree.

 

[Rainer1]

Haula

 

[FLpanthers16]

If we are talking straight speed Michael Matheson should be up there.

 

[crazychimp]

Jannik Hansen still has some fast wheels.

 

[GoCaps2004]

Chimera is easily on this list, but skating fast is really all he can do

 

[Bear12Good]

Radulov

 

[pucka lucka]

Nik Ehlers.

 

[Amadeus]

Not sure if Hall belongs there.

 

[TheForsbergShow]

Imo Mackinnon is noticeably faster than Duchene these days.

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

Not sure why Darren Helm hasn't been mentioned yet.

 

[PRicci09]

Jason Chimera can fly.

 

[El Travo]

MacK is faster than the Flying Dutchman.
