Gelly has to be up there. Sure it was a cannon but man that thing was a wildcard

Recency bias but…Brendan Smith.

Ben Lovejoy, the man was great slapping it so wide of the net the forwards couldn’t even tip it

Ok… at the risk of being unpopular.. hear me out.
Someone had over 1100 shots, how many goals should they have? Playing defense you don’t expect 10% shooting of course. But if I told you 36 goals on over 1100 shots that’s not great shooting. 3% to be specific.
Mr Devil did that.

Chico. Worst shot ever….lol
Don’t roast me….just keeping it light.

PK Subban. He has so many clappers that never hit the net.

Pavel Zacha

Mark Fayne.
Was his overall shot technically the worst? Probably not. But he barely scored and took probably the worst individual shot in Devils history.

This one’s a bit off the board because who really keeps track of that, right? So I went to Hockey Reference.
There’s 110 players who played at least 1 game and have a shooting percentage of 0. Among those, I just eyeballed the Games Played and Shots columns to look for outliers. And I think I’ve landed on Tim Sestito with 100 Games Played between 2010-2015; as a center he took 62 shots for no goals as a Devil. Again, just by eyeball and clicking a few player names, he appears to be among the longest tenured players with no goals scored and I’m kind of confident he’s the forward with the most shots taken without a goal.
I also motion that the grid unblurs Kovalchuk in favor of blurring mcleod.

Gelinas may have had the hardest shot in the league but dude couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn

Look, this might be a little out of left field but: Stephen Gionta. He was accurate af, so long as the target was the logo on a goalie’s chest. How many strong shifts and breakaways did he hustle to get off a shot, just for it to hit middle middle.

For someone who was hyped up for offensive upside, PK Subban missed a lot while being a devil

Mark Fayne. Simply because of the shot in the 2012 cup finals

Unfortunately it’s Daneyko. He played >1200 games and had a 3% shooting percentage lol.

I cant count how many times Gomez had a clean break at the net and fired a 35mph wrister into the breadbasket.
He’s def not the worst shot, but he’s the guy I thought of first.

Hating on Kovy is so stupid. Top 5 Devil all time and he did us a favor by bailing on that insane contract. We’d do well to move past any hurt feelings with him and Parise

David Hale still holds the record for most games needed to score his first NHL goal at 231, so probably him.

My vote goes to Mike Mottau, [who “couldn’t hurt a fly with that shot”](https://youtu.be/7iAeLUSsj2k?si=jlGU8aH00iJxHBwd) after an errant shot of his went of Bobby Holik’s face and into the net, with Holik no worse for wear.

If one person leans on m’boy in the goalie thing????
That’s fucked. Don’t.
Also, McLeod?
We’re better than that. Have a re-think on this particular inclusion, OP.

Thank you for blurring his face. POS. But yeah McCleod can be blurred too.

Daneyko I guess because he never scored? I don’t recall him having a “bad shot” he just never really tried much?
WontSwerve
Daneyko getting on the board for this because it’s kinda true, but mostly because it’s hilarious.
