Who's your favourite skater?

I thought about this when watching some Modano videos on YouTube. Everybody's got those players whom they just love to watch on the ice, who's your faves?

Modano has always been at the top for me, he's just soooo smooth. As well as Paul Coffey, Guy LaFleur, and Doug Gilmour.

Not to sound like to much of a homer (even though he is not here now), but Zubrus has one of the most fluid skating styles I have ever seen.

It's like he can go full out without hardly moving.

Rodney Mullen, Andrew Reynolds, Bam Margera. Oh wait...skaters?

I was going to throw in a figure skater but thought better of it.

smart-asses...haha.

Rodney Mullen, Andrew Reynolds, Bam Margera. Oh wait...skaters?

Stylewise i pick Reynolds, Rowley and Muska.

S. Niedermayer would be an obvious pick, but also Patrick Marleau and Geoff Sanderson ten years ago (I think he was the fastest skater in the NHL '96 videogame for SNES).

I have to agree with Modano. I normally bring up his name whenever someone asks for tips, he has the strongest toe flick I have ever seen.

Lecavalier is also up there as fun to watch, he's soo smooth and has such strong strides. He doesn't look nearly as fast as he is.

I'm going to throw this one out there because it's probably unexpected but, Marc-Andre Fleury... Of course he's a goalie so he's not out there skating around people and whatnot but he has such fast feet that you have to respect his skating strengths, even if it's just a butterfly slide.

Why was my first thought the Katerina Witt Playboy pictorial?

[JR Boucicaut 3802]

Actually mine was this figure skater I used to know...but yeah, I do remember that pictorial...

[The Playoff Beard 0]

Coffey, Niedermayer, Michalek, Afinogenov (sp?), Selanne, Sturm and DEFINITELY Witt (Katerina)

I've noticed a couple of you guys mention Milan Michalek...I've never really paid much attention to him before. I'll have to see if I can find some videos around somewhere.

[Fredrik 0]

I think that Marian Gaborik deserves to be mentioned as well as the above listed...well Sergei Feodorov will be on my list too...

:o never mind bure!

[JR Boucicaut 3802]

Gotta love Sasha.

She did her Citizen Watch shoot at RDV :)

[epstud74 24]

I loved watching guys like Mogilny, Bure and Fedorov skate in their prime. Fedorov is one of those guys who could have been a Paul Coffey like defenseman as well as a prolific forward.

[mxihockey 0]

Ovechkin and Fedorov. I like watchin Fedorov play D.. Reminds me of myself :D

[CardinalHcky19 0]

Modano, Ovy, Afinogenov, Gaborik, Nash is also a good skater

[AnthonyJTa 0]

what, no love for Oksana?? Nothing better than a ticking time-bomb.

favorite skaters.... hmm.... Daewon Song, Jason Lee (Let's not forget "Earl's" true roots!!), Mike McGill, Burnquist.... Elvis Stojko, Brian Boitano (obviously).... and I'd have to agree watching Bure was a treat. Gaborik, and S. Neidermeyer, and Kariya are top too...
