Surprised to see Robertson only at 56.67%. He feels automatic out there every time
Makes it look easy
Who is the Shootout King? Is it still Datsyuk? Or one of Kane, Toews, Oshie or Barkov?

We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Toews scored on one out of every two shots with a simple wrist shot along the ice, 5 hole.
Same shot, every single time.
No dekeing, no dramatic speed change ups, the guy just straight up looked into the eyes of the goalie and broke him, like a Cthulu on skates.

I wanted to say Slava Kozlov, glad to see I was almost right.

Kuznetsov AINEC. He was like 13 of 14 since he started doing the glacial approach.
IMO if he was in the league another 5 years they eventually would have made it illegal

He used the backhand often early and goalies became aware so he’d rip it five hole to change it up and then it was interchangeable

Datsyuk as usual getting a bit over-rated here. Calling him shootout king just doesn't mesh with reality. As others have posted many others have better numbers, some with larger sample sizes. Datsyuk might have done it with flair but all that matters in the shootout is if you score or not and several others have been better at that.

I got to watch and enjoy this a lot so I say it with love...
but his move really was "what if I fake a shot like I know what I'm doing and virtually all of my body parts just go in different directions until neither of us fully know what I'm doing and then I try to score from the slot"
and hey, it worked, his fake shot is relatively unique in how far back he gets it, but I'd say a lot of goalies would have fared better just by calling his bluff and making him take the original shot by barely playing it and it's a hilarious miracle that he kept doing it

Datsyuk is never a bad answer for anything but Toews may be the best answer.
About as clutch as you can get. AnalticyzBBzbVcCC people will get mad but there's a reason why he's been a main part of so many championship teams; there's no Golden Goal in 2010 if Toews and his line doesn't carry Canada to it.

Kane has most all time at 53 goals but a 40.1% conversion rate.
Toews has 52 but a 47.2% conversion rate.
Oshie has 49 goals and 47.1% rate

What an absolute privilege it has been to watch Toews and Kane come out each shootout all those years, and be almost guaranteed a goal. Always loved when it came to the S/O.

He was bad at it early in his career. He's almost automatic now. Don't think a goalie made a save on him for quite a while. Either he scores or goes post/miss .
For the Capitals the top 3 are Oshie, Kuznetsov and Hendricks who have all been mentioned already. In terms of 1 on 1 in-game on a breakaway I'll still take Peter Bondra. Dude led the league in SHG over a 10 year span and mostly all of them were breakaways using speed and deception to overwhelm the goalie.
