@@1madmaxx80 anyone with two braincells knows that. i was saying chara and weber havent done the hardest shot competiton in a few years. they could have easily outdone everyone here.
Crazy to think Pettersson's shot from 2 years ago would have gotten second this year, and he might have won this year, seeing as how he beat Hedman that year and it seems they are using special pucks for this event compared to last which may be faster, plus Pettersson having gained weight can only help.
@@harellzi Each team could nominate somebody and they send in their hardest shots or fastest times around the rink and narrow it down to 10. Something like that. I just think the most skilled guys at each skill should be participating in those competitions giving the NHL an opportunity to create more stars some people would otherwise never know who they were
@@tomwilson3969 Agreed. I would love to see teams do their own all-star competition, and then the winners of those do the challenges for the ASG. Then the people who actually PLAY in the ASG are the people picked to play the ASG the way they normally are.
Think he would be best for the accuracy contest seeing how he's a sniper. Not so sure about fastest skater he's more of a power forward who uses his size.
Amazing with all of the training and technology with the sticks how much quicker and faster the game has become yet the speed of slap shots have just flatlined over the last 20 years.
@@appa609 yes it has. Iafrate hit something like 105 with a wooden stick in the 90’s. Chara’s 108 isn’t that much faster. Poijt is skaters and their stick handing have improve much greater than the overall shot velocity
The commentator keeps saying "they are making contact 3 or 5 inches behind the puck." This is certainly not the case if you watch closely. Often times their blades touch the ice much further away from the puck.. I would say 10-12 inches and even 15 at times. Generally 3-5 inches behind the puck isn't enough room and time for the stick to flex to its capacity and release its energy into the puck like an archers bow pushing an arrow.
Look at the reply of Hedman's shot at 4:55 That shot is his hardest shot and still the stick only starts about 3-5 inches behind the puck. But most of them do seem to start further back with the stick on the ice.
@@YAOG I did notice his contact with the ice started closer than the other players. But I would say it was still 6-8 inches behind the puck. There must be a perfect balance distance where you're getting max flex out of the stick while not creating too much friction in the process.
@@OVI-Wan-Kenobi-8 idk Marchand has mostly cleaned up his act and Kadri is actually playing well so hopefully he doesn't get suspended in the first round. Either way I would say Wilson is still worse than either of them at their worst
@@ryanward5770 “Marchand has actually cleaned up his act” Bro he literally got suspended already once this year, tf you talking about? He hasn’t cleaned up his act at all and never will, once a rat always a rat.
@@vedantbhalla2571 yeah between his size, years playing the enforcer and goon for the Caps, and some bad hits he's got a reputation that's tough to shake.
@@Falllll That’s true, but I feel like he’s cleaning it up. He obviously still plays that hard hitting game but he doesn’t cross the line anymore, at least from what I’ve seen this season. He reminds me of Nazem Kadri, he understands where the boundaries are, and transforms into an amazing player.
would be cool to see telemetry… like golf, a shot tracer … speed of puck. rpm of puck(idk if thats even a thing in hockey) how fast a skater is flying. we need data!!
Its easy how they all went over 100 mph. Its the sticks. They can add 5 -10 mph. To me the OG hard shooter was Al McInnis. He may not have had the hardest shot, he always placed around 95-100 mph, he was always at or near the top spot, but it was his accuracy. He could place a hard shot and that's what made him effective. He scored a lot more goals than Zedeno Chara, who can shoot over 100 mph no problem. But at the end of the day, if you have an accurate shot around 95 to 100 mph, that is going to score you more goals. It would be interesting to see how McInnis would do with carbon sticks.
Malkin should do this, even opposing goalies have said when he shoots a slap shot at them they never even see it coming haha they're hard to see regardless I'm just saying, even from the blue line it's in the net in a split second lol
Why are they using pucks with lights, that obviously changes the physics of the puck speed and probably why everyone hit 100+ MPH. If Chara or Weber used those pucks they would have hit 110+ MPH.
I wish they played all star games like in the 70s. The was a real display of the players talent. Of course they didn't fight but it was a hell of a lot better then the crap game of today. The fans deserve better.

Yeah Chára is 44 :D but yeah they definitely would
Lmao
I would of loved to see Big Z for his last all star. Happy for Victor 💪🏽
Ya I thought they would have had him too, to make it more fun and a sign off how to the hardest shooter ever in the NHL
Would have

I heard that the color of the puck was for it to register easier.
Pettersson would skate up, stick handle back and forth for 5 seconds, lose the puck and then bat it backwards out of the zone
The pucks are heavier supposedly

@@AL-uz8xz no he aint. He's one of the most disliked players in the league.
@@AL-uz8xz dirty players in league.
Why Timo Meier got put on the hardest shot competition is beyond me. He'd be a more suitable candidate for the fastest skater.
He did very well though didn't he? Even though both his shots went very high they were still like 96 and 101
Think he would be best for the accuracy contest seeing how he's a sniper. Not so sure about fastest skater he's more of a power forward who uses his size.
They should get them all wasted and then try the skills competition.
They should. That would be far more exciting

Yeah but its just physics, much harder to go from 105 to 110 than 50 to 70 for example
Best part is that Victor Hedman had Håkan Hellströms "Din tid kommer" song playing. What a banger
Who would’ve ever thought Wilson would have slap shot that fast and accurate 😮

@@Wiensy90 the friction is what creates the flex
@@Santi-mj1hl yes I'm aware you need friction to flex the stick but too much friction will slow things down.
@@Wiensy90 It is more a perfect balance of loading the max flex then cradling the puck with the stick before the flex starts to release.
Always entertaining to watch!!
So do those light up pucks weigh the same as a normal puck?

Was always going to be Hedman who would win against those guys.
Having Meier in this event and not fastest skater is a big red flag

Have yet to watch a second of this, but wish they could skate in with the puck so they wouldn't have to accelerate it from a dead stop.
