Today or at their peak?

Currently? Probably Crosby. I think peak Ovechkin was probably faster than peak Crosby though.

 

[DitchMarner]

They were both very fast at their top speeds. I guess I'd lean toward Ovechkin for peak speed.

I don't really consider either player all that fast now, but I'd say Crosby is faster currently.

Currently. Or last season.

Ovechkin is still more explosive. He was a lot more explosive around 2007. Crosby was probably faster at top speed before his ankle injury. Now it's close but maybe edge to Sid. Overall, Crosby is a lot better skater.

 

[Fugazy]

Crosby.

In 2019 its Crosby. At their best, it was Ovechkin.

Ovechkin

MacDavid? Lol.

Couture is by no means fast. He's average at absolute best. This evaluation is crap.

Took Crosby but this post sums it up pretty much.

Both at their peaks and today.

The chart is several years old. I mean, it still has Rick Nash and Ryan Kesler on it.

Of course, but Couture has never been a faster player than McDavid. There are several players that belong nowhere near the list (and never did).

Is this 2010??? Ovechkin is borderline slow 95% of the time at this point. Not that it really matters for his game, though.

Came in to see controller disconnected, leaving disappointed..

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Ovechkin

“MacDavid”

 

[Dion TheFluff]

Ovechkin

I always knew that John Tavares and Sean Monahan were faster players than Connor McDavid

 

[tony d]

Crosby right now.

 

[DearDiary]

Ovechkin

Do you not feel embarrassed posting this? Let's see your argument why quicksand Tavares is faster than MacDav... McDavid

 

[FrozenJagrt]

Anyone who posts or likes this should be embarrassed. Tavares is apparently faster than McDavid?

It's an old chart

 

[bambamcam4ever]

It's an old chart

That had a sample size of 1 to 6 for each player, which is nowhere near enough. People need to evaluate the quality of data before blindly posting "stats."

It's an old chart

And at what point in the past was McDavid slower than Tavares?

 

[missionAvs]

Gosh MacDavid is slow AF.
