Which lefty forward has the best one timer?

[malkshake]

 

[Terry Yake]

malkin and tarasenko

benn has a pretty nasty one too

 

[Evergreen]

Malkin, Cammalleri, Neal, Hartnell (seriously), Lecavalier

 

[Coily]

Heatley

 

[frivolousz21]

 

[McDNicks17]

Hall doesn't really use it much, but he has an absolute bomb of a one-timer.

Right shot = your strong hand bottom for power shots (not many lefties right shot )

left shot = your strong hand on top for dekez

 

[MNjens]

Mikko Koivu has the worst probably. ..

Tarasenko

 

[Algernop Kreider]

Right shot = your strong hand bottom for power shots (not many lefties right shot )

left shot = your strong hand on top for dekez

Not always. There are some left-handed guys in the league.

 

[StLHokie]

 

[dtrain]

Tarasenko

 

[feffan]

Maybe not the best, but one underrated and seldom mentioned is Alexander Steens. Great precision and a great weapon the Blues PP. He picks up a lot off assists on that shot as well.

 

[MaxChart]

Cammalleri

 

[Filip Forceberg]

Right shot = your strong hand bottom for power shots (not many lefties right shot )

left shot = your strong hand on top for dekez

This obviously only applies if your right hand is your dominant hand.

How is Pacioretty not in this discussion?

 

[Cult of Hynes]

Malkin, Neal, Tarasenko.

 

[CraigsList]

Tarasenko, Malkin and Cammy are probably the top 3 (in no order).

 

[Infinite Jest]

Neal, Malkin, Tarasenko, Cammalleri.

 

[THall4]

Tarasenko.

Yakupov.

Yak has a good one T but he misses the net alot.

The answer in Malkin

 

[NYR713]

Marty St. Louis has always had a good one timer. Maybe not the hardest shot but great accuracy and can do it from just about anywhere, including by the goal line.

How is Pacioretty not in this discussion?

his one-timer from around the half-boards really isn't his best asset; he gets a lot of his goals in front of the net or off the rush and isn't used in that position even on the powerplay really.

Neal

 

[ort]

It's not Tarasanko.

He has a good slap shot, but his bread and butter is his wrist shot. 95% of the goals he scores are wristers.

 

[Captain Creampuff]

It's not Tarasanko.

He has a good slap shot, but his bread and butter is his wrist shot. 95% of the goals he scores are wristers.

Just because he may have one of the best wristers in the league shouldn't mean he can't have one of the best one-timers as well. The kid's shot all around is incredible.

 

[MoonDragn]

I have not seen many slap shots from Cammalleri either, but his wrister is wicked.
