who else was great at one timing the puck?

[golfpuck 0]

I was just thinking with Brett retired, you don't see a player who made it a career just one-timing the puck like he did...

who else was/is good at one timing the puck?

brian mccabe comes to mind...

I am biased, but I say the man with the best one timer now may be Mathieu Schnieder.

[Michael9 57]

I dont know about this year but Sergei Fedorov has a great one-timer also

[Chadd 916]

Since you didn't specify the NHL, I'll say me.

Sergei and Kariya come to mind.

[SR27 0]

I was thinking Kariya, too. If you go back a bit I think Kurri was pretty good at it as well.

[Jason Harris 31]

Murray was great at the one-timer...until the idiots traded Thornton!

I wasn't in Boston during Neely's time there. How was he?

[Chara3 0]

Ales Kotalik comes to mind for me. For this season anyways.

KOVALCHUK!

[thejackal 46]

MacInnis, Blake, pretty much every primetime PP quaterback and pure sniper are good at it.

mike camellari of the los angeles kings :D

[ktang 34]

The best I've ever seen: Joe Mullen, with the Flames.

In Calgary's Stanley Cup win, Al MacInnis would set up for the slapper on the PP (right point) and send it hard in the seam to the top of the left circle. Mullen would one-time it past Roy. Over and over. No chance for the Habs.

Recently: all the players mentioned above, plus Shanahan.

umm definatly kovalchuk. hes dominate on the pp

[ponty 0]

Neely's one-timer was good but Hull's was the best that I remember.

Others of note:

Bossy - between him and Hull for the best

Lafleur

John Ogrodnick

Reed Larsen

Shanahan

Bourque

kovalchuk, shanny, lemieux(he use to howie em in from the side boards), kariya, heatley, mccabe.

[Havok19 0]

Chadd +1 and hehe Kovalchuk +1

Past is HULL,Bossy,neely and jagr has a damn nice one too imo.

Lafleur

Excellent choice on Mike Bossy. #22 possessed the best shooting skills I have ever seen. HIs one timer, snap shot, slap shot, wrist shot were all deadly accurate.

Guy LaFleur is also a top pick. Here is an Old Time Hockey story: Early 70s, the Canadiens are playing the Rangers in the playoffs. The Habs have an off day practice open to the public at a local north Jersey rink: The Bergen Mall Ice Arena. The great Canadiens are there: Lemaire, Robinson, Lapointe, Savard, Frank and Peter Mahovlich, Ken Dryden and backup goalie Bunny Larocque. The last 20 minutes of practice Coach Claude Ruel is in the corner feeding pucks continuously to a right winger for one timers: the rookie Guy Lafleur. I will never forget watching Lafleur take shot after shot after shot on Bunny Larocque. BTW, Lafleur came with even greater hype than Crosby. Imagine being compared to Jean Beliveau!

Murray is the first player that comes to mind for me. McCabe has been that way this year, but I never really noticed his "one-timer" before this season. He's always had a good slapshot, but no one-timers without Kaberle. I'm thinking Shanahan may be thrown in here as well as a primary "one timer" player.

[jbyun04 7]

Pavel Bure,

Kovalchuk is pretty lethal

I like Salo's one timers

and Kariya

[UMWhockey 0]

Peter Bondra scored like every power play goal for the caps with a one timer from the face off dot. By far one of the best one timers as shown by his power play stats over his time with the caps

[mack 44]

Kevin Hatcher but don't let him pick a hairstyle.

I can't beleive NOBODY mentioned the leading left wing goal scorer in history.

Friggin' Lucky Luc! C'mon guys! You have to know that playing with Gretz, a great many of those goals came off one-timers. Not to mention a few "lucky" tip ins.

Seriously though, in his hay-day, Lucky could pump shots in the net from anywhere on the ice in any shooting position.

[Patrick67 1]

Just about every time I watch highlights on TSN and Kovalchuk scores, it's a first-timer bullet.

His wristshot is pretty decent too... would love to know how strong a guy like him is. Arm's wrist's etc, just to see how much of it is skill compared to strenght.

KOVALCHUK!

exactly what i was thinking

i've been seeing some off his games and esspecially on the powerplay he'll be at the point taking alot of one-timers

[Fletch 219]

Rob Blake has a great one-timer from the point. He scored tons of goals that way in LA.

Also, Ovechkin has a solid one-timer on the PP.
