I agree with ktang about quickness and agility being more important than outright speed. Most of my favorite players are small, quick, agile players like St. Louis and Bure, but the honest truth is that many players in the NHL are probobly faster than them, just not as quick.

I don't know about that, Blake is quick, but what about someone like Samsonov. That would be an interesting race.

I love all the russian players so its hard for me to decide, but who do you guys think is the fastest russian skater? I'd definitely go with Bure for speed, because if you think about it he was a breakaway player. Fedorov and Kovalev seem to be more agile, because I always see them carrying the puck, kind of slow like but still very quick at the same time. A lot of the Slovakians are really quick too, like Palffy and Gaborik.
