Every 100+ mph Shot in Hardest Shot History | NHL All-Star Skills Competition

[@mathiasfonzovs9105]

[@johnvillano9809]

its a skullet

[@logan236]

John Villano did you get that name from BarDown?

[@johnvillano9809]

[@MMGJ10]

He would've been about 27 in 93 too. Damn..

[@guymajor7432]

Thats a good old fasion wood stick

[@TomBouchard]

Imagine what Iafrate could achieve with one of today's modern haircuts.

[@Matt-dc5sv]

A “modern haircut” doesn’t change the fact that he didn’t have hair...

[@bobhubson8511]

I think Iafrate's strength works pretty much like Sampson's from the Bible. If his hair were to be cut, all of his strength would be gone.

[@ohwowthatsgood]

Even after all these years Iafrate still has the hardest hair.

[@AviLOrkQ]

Hardest shot too, put a wood stick in Chara's and Weber's hands and Iafrate still have the record. He would have make 110 mph with a one piece stick, no doubt possible.

[@michellegao8372]

Dude would of crushed chara

[@AviLOrkQ]

@@michellegao8372 and Chara always played with an illegal stick for anybody else because of his height. So Iafrate all the way! Lol

I can feel the boomer energy radiating in this comments section...

[@vanillarice91]

Interesting fact: Sergei Fedorov is the ONLY player in an NHL All-Star game ever to win BOTH hardest shot & fastest skater competitions 🔥

[@waynethera2712]

Mx, didn’t Iafratte win both too.

[@vanillarice91]

Wayne Thera I looked Iafrate’s stats and such up on Wikipedia and it says he only won Hardest Shot. Still crazy tho!

[@waynethera2712]

Mx, thanks for the update. Way too long ago for this old guy to remember.

[@ataccone.66]

Iafrate hit 105 with a wooden stick, imagine what he could do with the sticks we have now

[@m1ckyg21]

right? with chara's stick i'm guessing near 110

[@blueshky]

Break them, just like MacInnis did :(

[@Barrymacockkiner3050]

They would break before they get to that point lol. They were using woodies, stronger sticks.

[@commandershepard1838]

The guns probably weren’t as accurate tbh

[@nOOb1hunter]

110 for sure

[@zephh_sk]

Webber and Petterson are really impressive given their shot speed to body weight ratio. Crazy athleticism

[@porkwop1546]

Elias pettersson might be the smallest player in history to hit over 100mph

[@wondrejek6697]

Martin Frk is +- 3 cm lower than Pettersson and his shot was more than 109 I think.

[@aidan11obrien83]

When Peterson puts on 10 more pounds he’s gonna win hardest shot for sure

[@onskm49]

Lightest player for sure

[@GeorgiaBoy1961]

That was crazy! You definitely can't tell a book by its cover, as the saying goes. Strength, technique, and as he ages and puts on a few pounds, his shot will get even harder.

[@pegasus6116]

He's 6'3 so not the smallest. The lightest for sure though.

[@William_G]

I was at the 2012 skills competition with my dad. What an amazing year that was. I wish they would bring back the East vs West and scrap the way it is now.

[@PeachesCobb123]

There was an article I read on Al Macinnis and his cannon. It talked about one situation where he just cleared it out of the zone and it clipped the back of a guys leg. Nearly ended that mans career. Al Macinnis was scary.

[@lukasprondzinski9331]

It’s weird seeing how in the beginning people were amazed by a 100 mile per hour shot, and by the end they are used to it.

[@BenRangel]

Imagine if Macinnis and Iafrate had played with modern sticks.

[@DavidWsTrainVideos]

BenRangel the boards, nets, and defenders wouldn’t stand a chance

[@skinflaver]

It would have helped. But the new sticks aren't much better in performance, but they are more dependable and breaks less.

[@commandershepard1838]

It adds about 3-5 mph.

[@topnep548]

NHL, get ready for Martin Frk. (109.2 mph)

He'll have to actually make it to the All-star comp first though. Plenty of other players on the NHL teams all-star comps hit over 100, most just aren't good enough to make it to the NHL all-star game.

In most things, I try to be as impartial and unbiased as is humanly possible. I think I’m doing the same thing here, but as a Nova Scotian I can never truly know how objective this judgement is: Al McInnis is, was and ever shall be the master of the slapshot. The form, accuracy, power, terror and consistency are unrivalled. Every slapshot after him has been anticlimax. God put him on Earth during the era of wooden sticks because He thought it was purer and he didn’t want to see a man die on the ice.

[@akki40000]

New stick or old stick doesn't change a lot for a slapshot. Almost everything is in the stick flexibility. 130 flex on wood stick or carbon stick is the same. It take the same quantity of weight, strenght to curve it. The difference only gonna be the weight. And when you are use to one at some point it doesnt change lots of thing.

[@kozmeetorez]

Yeah but wooden sticks are solid all the way through, so therefore they would have to have less flex. In comparison to something that's hollow.
