NFT: Carl Hagelin, the NHL's fastest man. It's science!

Greg from LI : 10/23/2014 3:43 pm

No one's particularly close, either. Not the quickest acceleration, though - Ovie runs away with that one.

According to the link, Hagelin also skates at a high speed more often than anyone else:

Quote:

Only three men stayed at that speed more than 40 percent of the time with at least 10 minutes of five-on-five play. They were Hagelin (44.2 per cent of 13:36), Sidney Crosby (42.4 of 19:19) and Joe Colborne (41.7 of 12:29)

I guess they didn't have data on Kreider for some reason, because he'd be right at the top as well.

Good point. Playoffs are a bit of a mystery to them.

Hagelin's not just fast, he's a pretty good hockey player.

Brooklyn Hipsters!!!

Has 1 goal and is -4

Means dick...

It's wild to me that Karlsson is noticeably and obviously slower

Andy in Halifax : 10/24/2014 7:51 am : link

after his achilles tear and he's still one of the fastest players in the league. Top three if you factor in acceleration and top speed.

Do you think this is something likely to continue or will he regain the speed?

I haven't kept up on his progress.

How adorable - dim Islander fans still think that plus/minus is a meaningful stats.

I'm only guessing

Andy in Halifax : 10/24/2014 8:15 am : link

but this far after the injury, I'd say he's permanently lost that top gear. Still plenty fast but he can't be as aggressive because he can't fly back to recover as quickly as he used to.

Is Tavares from Jersey?

It's not a stat; it's a trait

so he's fast

You're not dim, bro.. you'll always have the lighthouse!

Why yes, I'd say a player's speed is rather meaningful

Greg from LI : 10/24/2014 11:20 am : link

Particularly as compared to his plus/minus

I'm surprised

Metnut : 10/24/2014 12:04 pm : link

Tavares rates that fast. I've always thought Grabner was far faster.

Pretty cool

Metnut : 10/24/2014 12:04 pm : link

that Isles have 2 of the top 7.
