Edge 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2005 David Tanabe is probably one of the fastest skaters in the league. He's not very known but he is a solid defenseman. He can skate the puck up, and dish it off and even if the other team gets going the other way he can catch them no problem. Unfortunately he got injured early in the season last year for the 'yotes. Knee I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hip check 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2005 Wasn't Bret Hedican the fastest on the Canucks team when they had Bure and Mogilny? Seems to me I remember hearing that from the team skills competition. Anyone able to back that up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattopiela 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2005 Off the line Marian Hossa is one of the fastest guys in the league. He doesn't look that fast, but I've been to many Sens games and hes a rocket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adam91 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2005 other then some of the players already mentioned one of the faster guys in Sean Donvan and Steve Begin of the Habs they're two very fast skaters that maybe just a notch below the regular stars Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sherwood21 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2005 Nathan Perrott is the 'fastest' skater on the Leafs. Don't know about his quickness and response though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Modo22 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2005 I can't recall if he is still playing, but Scott Young in 96 with the Avs! I have never seen someone move so fast and still be in control. I just can't think of anyone today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kovy_Ribs_Fedo 3 Report post Posted April 17, 2005 pavel datsyuk is the fastest not really... I'd say Datsyuk has the fastest thinking on the ice, but he's far from being the fastest skater. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dieselbro 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2005 My vote personally goes to Geoff Sanderson, he is a rocket! In the few Canucks games I went to last year he beat so many people to the puck in footraces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mik3 1 Report post Posted April 20, 2005 I'm gonna have to agree with Rico Fata, if he's in open ice I don't think there's any defenseman in the league catching him from behind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NCPUCK26 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2005 I'm gonna have to agree with Rico Fata, if he's in open ice I don't think there's any defenseman in the league catching him from behind. I agree, when I saw him play with Bure, Fata's speed was just unreal, and they were just such a deadly combination in terms of speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
