[amnesiac]

Im sure this had been done, but who in your opinion had the greatest most effective slapshot of all-time (not asking who had the hardest).

I think Wayne Gretzky deserves to be on this list

Ha. Even Gretz said he worked OT to have an average slapper. Most of his goals were not scored that way.

Raymond had a heat-seeking missle that easily won him multiple all'star game 4 targets in 4 corners of the net shooting.

But, please, Al takes the cake. He was jaw dropping with his shot from the point.

Agreed. If the poll is about effectiveness rather than velocity, he should be an option.

Sure, goaltenders let in a lot of long distance shots in the 80s compared to later times, but he was effective at exploiting that with his slapshot.

It seems very obvious to me that MacInnis is number one. Power and accuracy and something that teams gameplanned against. Curious about who two would be.

And Kariya will beat all his records... Gretzky is one of those great enough to be humble person and if he is in the top 10 most slapshot goals in nhl history, that would not surprise anyone.

Kovalchuck was an other one with quite the spectacular, specially his one timer slapshot.

Ovechkin did it more….and better. And that’s not a slight to either Hull.

Hull/MacInnis/Hull/Ovechkin/Stamkos gotta be up there if you’re looking for all of: trigger, power, and effectiveness.

But Gretzky needs to be up there if we’re asking who has the best snapshot purely for putting the puck in the net. His shot wasn’t blistering, but he had some mustard on it, and his release timing and accuracy are off the charts.

He'd be my number two, he did do it longer for sure, but also had rules and sticks that helped in that
