Bobby Hull incredible speed

[sheze45]

This is why watching the Winnepg Jets Hotline in the old WHA days was such a privilege! Seeing Hull break away with Hedberg and Nillison right behind him was just crazy. Best damn hockey I'll ever see!!

Only three guys were as fast as Bobby Hull - Mike Gartner, Pavel Bure, and Yvan Cournoyer.

[reg5381]

@stratovani sergei federov was pretty fast too.

[goldenoldiesPete]

Fastest player in the league, (not only with the naked eye but per official NHL stats), and by a big margin. And the fastest shot (by far) in the league at 118+ mph, which still has never been equalled.

[billga2010]

All that speed with no ; nitrogen injected ice or took blades. Not to mention a wood stick to shoot with .

[mrtmedfield]

I liked Hull because there was no elegance to him, just raw power and speed, and a real strong desire to score goals.

[Nigelxman]

@mrtmedfield Fuck elegance. It's hockey bro.

Bobby Hull changed the game. He and Mikita introduced curved sticks and Hull brought a new type of speed to the game.

Brett Hull was only a meer shadow to the player his dad was. Watch this video, Brett could never skate like that

[IDF1987]

@Canuckfan78 Not only that, but Brett played in an era with better conditioning and still couldn't match it.

[roselandalvin]

@villageass yes - and almost 29mph with the puck. -If he got a step on you he was gone -That's why they held, pushed, grabbed and ganged up on him- And he still amazed fans and players alike!!

[EAchankre]

Fast son of a gun

[OrrCountry]

Bobby was 5 times the player Bret was. Bret had a great snap shot, but that was about it.

[royfan3035]

@OrrCountry He put the puck in the back of the net over 700 times. I think there was a little more to Brett than the snap shot.

[gymguy25]

@royfan3035 you're right, there was Adam Oates! Brett Hull scored 3 70 goal seasons with the help of Oates, including his 86 goal MVP season which is more than anyone not named Wayne ever accomplished, without Oates, his best ever was 58 goals I believe, meaning, he was quite capable of scoring goals on his own but he owes his greatest accomplishments to Oates. Hull called Adam the most underrated player of all time, I'd say it would be hard to argue.

[pillowpants2006]

i didnt know he was so fast , and just recently found out about his 118 mph clocked slap shot thats ridiculous

[azbaldy5]

bobby Hull just an AWESOME PLAYER.

Robert Marvin Hull!
