Shea Weber has emerged as the player with the most-feared shot in the NHL, taking the mantle from Zdeno Chara in recent years. Chara held the official title for five straight events from the 2007 NHL Skills Competition to 2012 (with a lockout and Olympic year scrubbing the annual showcase in two years during that span). With tonight’s win, Weber ran his streak to three.
After hitting 108 miles per hour in each of the last few years, clocking it at just under Chara’s record of 108.8 set in 2012, he won the 2017 event with a slap shot traveling at 102.
