1. Nothing surprising here😋😋

2. The fact Val is that fast at 6’4 220 is wild

3. Hey u/nhl what defines a speed burst?

4. McDavid not being on that first list is a bit surprising.

5. im glad Tippett has settled in nicely in philly. he clearly had the talent, I always used to say if he can fine tune the small things in his game he’ll make the jump. obviously adding more orange was the answer

6. Martin Necas is fast af boi

7. For some reason, I hadnt known we what was that quick

8. Queue the bots coming in with their random comments that seem normal but clearly are trying too hard to be normal… lol

9. Seeing McLeod on here is not surprising for the fastest skater, sometimes if you aren’t paying attention he looks like McDavid due to his speed, but the fact he’s on the second list is really surprising since he has 2/3rds of the ice time McDavid does being a 3rd liner. Quite impressive, I hope he keeps developing as he is fun to watch.

10. Watching Fantilli’s career with great interest

11. Mind blowing that Usain Bolt can run at 27mph 🤯
