“I guess that’s what the clock said.”
That’s all Ryan Pulock had to offer me the morning after he let go a 105 mile-per-hour slap shot during a fastest shot competition.
Pulock, like most of the Islanders’ prospects, were at Barclays Center for an exhibition match and skills contest, putting on a show and giving the fan base a glimpse into the future.
Unlike most of those prospects, however, Pulock came to camp with an NHL frame, his shot surpassing the speed of a Matt Harvey fastball. I’d asked him if he was aware of how much more zip he’d added to his shot in just 12 months.
