Fastest Skaters per Team - Ex Pens

Post by Penspal »

Pens always claimed they were fast. Here are some former Pens proving it was true.

Anaheim Ducks - Brock McGinn - 23.38
Vancouver Canucks - Sam Lafferty - 23.36
St. Louis Blues - Kasperi Kapanen - 23.28
Pittsburgh Penguins - Radim Zohorna - 22.94

I tossed Radim in because I was surprised it he was the Penguin with the top speed so far this year.

Who was the fastest for Philly? Because Poehling was also up there among fastest speeds when he was with Pittsburgh.

In all fairness, he just needs 3 strides to get around the rink. :fist: :D

I wonder where Tanev would fall? P-E Bellemare is listed as the fastest Kraken on the list you extracted this from, but I bet Tanev is not too far behind him.
