108.8 mph

Is pretty fucking sick. I would not want to be the guy to block Chara's slapshot. I've always wondered what Al Iafratt's slapshot was clocked at? Did they record measured shots back 15-20 years ago?

105.2. Imagine what he could do with today's sticks.

And imagine what he could do with chara's size and length. All do respect to chara cause that's a serious bomb, but when you have a stick that long and that much weight behind the shot, you better win those every time

 

[dspice07]

its all in the stick, i can shoot harder than chara.....

 

[SLY]

lol, fucking haters. Chara > Pronger.

i dont think you'll find much argument there?

but its simple physics that he has a pretty serious advantage

 

[SLY]

No shit... But thats him. I love it when people blame a persons skills on their size. Ok, yes, whats the point? The fact is, he has the hardest shot. Whether he is 5'0'' or 11'3''.

yeah jeff dont try and out think two engineers on this, simple physics is the only thing chara has going for him!

oh ya dont get me wrong, its impressive.. thats a hard as hell shot.. and his size is part of him being an athlete, size is part of your skill set if you use it as such, and he does, so you cant fault him for that

i'm just saying that there probably are, or at least were, guys that had a better shooting technique but didn't have the advantages chara has (size/stick) to put up such a big number

Well then Mr. Engineer. That is their problem.

indeed it is. no way in hell do i attempt to block a chara shot, and anyone who does is a fool, and has a bigger heart than i do

Lappy would block it!!!

 

[SLY]

Lappy is a fool. These engineers are pretty smart.

 

[lasgop8]

No matter how you break it down 108 is sick!

 

[awaz]

Lappy would block it!!!

i'm pretty sure lappy would try to block a bus if it meant the other team didn't score.. that doesn't mean he's a smart person

lol...He's like Rocky. He makes up for his lack of brains with his heart.

and that's why we love him

 

[mall3013]

I just love where is topic went. Bottom line, this big friggin' giant named Chara has one fucking mean slapshot. No normal sane person is going to jump in his way to block a shot. Hell, I wouldn't attempt to block it with all of my goalie pads either.
