Greatest slapshot of all-time

[Staniowski]

Gaston Gingras had a monster of a slapper

Yes, he did. Gingras was quite a specimen, but his skill was never matched by his career

 

[Staniowski]

Undoubtedly Clark's wrist shot was the most lethal in his arsenal but although he didn't use it as often, his slap shot was a BOOMER! The shot that knocked Cujo's hemlet off is his most infamous, but throughout years of watching Leafs games from that era, I marveled every time Clark launched off a slapper. Speaking of, LeClair's slap shot might not have been the most accurate but it was an absolute ROCKET! Marvelous!

Yes, Wendel is along the same lines as Mark Howe and Mogilny....each of them were very well-known for shots other than slapshots, and none of them used the slapper very often, but each had a really great slapshot.

If I needed a slap shot to decapitate to opposing goalie, I'm going with MacInnis.
If I needed a slap shot to win the game, 100% Gretzky.
Then Bobby & Brett.
Ovechkin would round out my top 5.

That’s exactly what Bobby Hull was known for, on his first shot of the game, he went head hunting to scare the goalie.

While Gretz didn't have a great slapshot, he did release one of his greatest slappers when he was a St. Louis Blue.

Nice to see the great Paul Coffey get so much love here, he probably should be an option too. Didn't need to use it as much since he was up on the play so much and had so many weapons, but when he did it was real nice.

And it wasn't just the set play point shot usually on the powerplay, he could really take a beautiful slapper off the rush that only a few select forwards could match.

Aesthetically, there's something to be said about those top corner 90s slapshots paired with a little goalie attempting to make a windmill glove save while also trying to duck out of the way. Chef's kiss as they say, and is a completely different animal to a modern slap shot on a big blocking goalie.
