Who to fear in a shootout?

[octopi]

Okay, admittedly I haven't seen every NHL team play every game(I'm so ashamed!) however I will metion these palyers as out-and-out scary to face in a shootout.

IMHO order:

1. Ovechkin
2. Jagr
3. Kovalchuk
4. Gagne
5. Alfredsson
6. Heatley
7. Nash

(And yes, I'm sure theres some people I haven't thought of)

Actually, Jagr's not been a sure thing. Petr Prucha's been spectacular, though.

 

[Yureeka47*]

Jussi Jokinen should be #1

 

[Vanucks]

Jussi Jokinen should be #1

Hell yeah. 7-7 so far....

Frickin' unbelievable.

 

[triggrman]

Paul Kariya has been pretty good but he's not on the team..

 

[octopi]

Paul Kariya has been pretty good but he's not on the team..

Yeah, I think I only listed people who we actually know are going to the Olympics.

 

[TheKingPin]

you got to take Gagne off. He is very good but on shoot outs and breakaways alike he is horrible.

 

[B Boarding]

Sundin. Because he always scores when it matters the most. He has a killer backhand to go with excellent reach.

 

[USC Trojans]

Hemsky. Not only does he score on you, he makes you look silly in the process.

 

[HFNHL Canadiens]

Sergei Zubov and Jussi Jokinen

 

[hockeyfan125]

Jokinen hands down.

Ovechkin second place.

 

[Brodeur]

Another post for Jussi Jokinen. Viktor Kozlov's sole contribution for the last month has been as a shootout specialist. With the Olympics being a 5 man shootout, he might have a spot behind Ovechkin/Kovalchuk/Datsyuk/Zubov.

Finland is the best shootout team.

 

[Brodeur]

Finland is the best shootout team.

The sample space is far too small to really extrapolate anything. Just thought it would be nice to toss out some actual numbers to go along with "Player X has sweet moves" from posters touting their team's players.

Russia looks like it has the deepest 1-5 in terms of shooters.

 

[Joe MacMillan]

Finland is the best shootout team.

I don't know. Niittymäki isn't very good at shootouts.

btw isn't there a sudden death until someone scores in olympics?

No.
