Which Player Is The Most Powerful?

[Fatty McLardy]

powerful enough to retire Brodeur

Still one of the funniest things to happen in the NHL...Brodeur absolutely despised Avery haha

 

[illpucks]

The player who was pinned against the boards but leaped over the other player. Anyone remember who that is?

Found it

OP makes some awful threads. Get off your butts mods and do something.

 

[Talon70]

Kopitar on the puck.

 

[57special]

Chara, Zdeno

Largest and strongest player in the league

Yeah, a former player who was no stranger to physical play told me that Chara was in another realm. said he had him all lined up with his head down and went for the bow up hit, and he just bounced off. Mentioned Buff, and he said he was, of course, very strong, but not as strong on his skates as Chara and not as athletic. Buff and Weber are certainly beasts, though.

Coyle is probably the strongest on the Wild, though Suter is sneaky strong. They are certainly a couple of tiers down from the players mentioned above, though. Will be interested to see how Greenway's strength translates to the NHL. That is one big kid.

Chara.

 

[Devil Dancer]

Probably Chara, but I love this from Ovie:

Would you expect any different from a person named “godemperor”

 

[jetsforever]

This is the kind of thread I would expect from an OP called "GodEmperor"

Edit: Great minds ^

 

[bluetib]

Chara is just next level!

I am surprised Buf is getting so many mentions, yes he is big but he is soft as butter and more fat that muscle.

I would say for regular skaters it would be Weber. He seems to have the best combination or size, strength and ability to use it (both fighting and hitting).

As for power in terms of influence Crosby for sure. Still the most marketable guy and the best player in the game so his opinions matter more than any other player, as much as a single players opinions can matter.

 

[Smelling Salt]

Didn’t know Jamie Benn was out of his prime already.

Watched the Stars the last couple years? He's nothing like he used to be.

 

[BrokerD]

Byfuglien is just fat. Ovechkin is the most powerful.

Bring up the past much? Way to do your research

 

[KarmaPolice]

Depends on how you define "power." Lucic is 240 pounds of muscle, basically no fat, according to the coaching staff (or "no fat" at all I think was the exact wording). If he was out there every shift hitting every puck carrier like a ton of bricks, half the league would probably be out with injuries by now (exaggeration to make a point). But he's kinda slow to be able to do that, I suppose. Still, the guy is as lean as can be, and is still a massive specimen of muscle. In terms of pure muscle 'power' and physical strength I think Lucic has to be up there.

Or Todd is a huge liar. As much as I don't like Todd (and I think he's a brutal coach), he's not one to tell tales.

Muscle mass =/= power. Power is power, it's not something you can just decide to define however you feel like.

Also, judging by some Lucic photos, he definitely isn't a massive blob of pure muscle. I'm sure he's strong for an NHL player but yeah. Weight is just about the least useful measure of power.

So define power for me. You defined power using the word "power" which doesn't help much, to be honest. Give me your interpretation, and I'll try to give a better answer.

And it's a very real possibility that Todd was lying through his teeth, but those were his words just the other day (or yesterday) on TSN.

I haven't seen Lucic naked (lately), so I'm not sure who to believe.

 

[Not So Mighty]

This forum has had a lot of talk about humility and not being a $wag daddy lately, so let's get back to the meat and potatoes. Which player in the NHL is the most powerful?

Can you define $wag daddy for this out of touch 80s kid?

 

[KarmaPolice]

Flashin' the stacks of cash. Think of E. Kane's stacks of dollar bills he was showing off a few years ago in some selfies he posted on the interwebs. I think that's it. If I'm wrong I'll get 5 replies of how dumb I am, so either way this will be a hell of a ride.

 

[MMANumminen]

I'm gonna say Malkin right now

 

[Eisen]

That **** was so ridiculous. I wanted Marty to smash him in the nuts for that one.

I thought it was funny. *shrug*
No harm was done.

 

[Laineux]

Crosby or Ovechkin because they're the most rich & famous.

 

[ThePhoenixx]

I have lost count the amount of times players have crawled off the ice after Lucic hit them.

 

[SlimCharles]

I htought it was funny. *shrug*
No harm was done.

It is funny, I'm not going to lie. However, if I was the goalie in that situation I'm going to make sure he doesn't do it again.
