But an honourable mention goes to Geoff Courtnall. So many goals scored flying down the wing and unleashing a bomb that ended up in the back of the net.

Salo will win, but honourable mention to Tommy Gun Vanek.

I know everyone is saying Salo but I do have a soft spot for Adrian Aucoin.

Does nobody remember a guy named Adrian Aucoin?

Honorable mention to Adrian Aucoin

Jiří Šlégr’s wind up for the slapshot! Back when there were no safety nets, fans knew they weren’t just watching the game—they were part of it. Duck or get a puck to the face.

Adrian Aucoin or Sami Salo.

Anyone remember the Yannick Weber special? For a smaller guy he could rip it from the point.

An honorable mention should go to Mogilny. If Salo was our artillery, he was our sniper. Top of the circle, laser focused, his head never moved. Shot was in the net before you heard it. Goalie was fully set, waiting for the shot but it didn’t matter.

NO ONE wanted to block a Sami (balls of steel) Salo slapper, players would abandon the goalie and go « all yours bud ». That game winning goal where he pulled his butt muscle will always stick with me, at that point fans could only nod sagely « of course he did » « surprised this didnt happen sooner » XD

I mean, salo was my first thought but I felt that someone would’ve said ehrhoff. Salo has balls of still. Let it be written in the scrolls!

Does nobody remember Adrian Aucoin? He had 23 goals for us and an absolute cannon. How is anyone saying salo and it’s not close?

Everyone is saying Salo and I won’t be the exception. Particularly remember him faking a move to the bench to lose his cover, then cycling back to receive the set up to fire a cannon on net!

Sami Salo. Without a doubt.
For me, it’s Sami Salo.
I know that Filip Hronek clocked one at 107.9 and it’s thought to be the 3rd hardest shot ever but it’s still Sami’s shot that comes to mind for me.
Cheers.
Sami Salo!!!!!
