Zdeno Chara shatters own Hardest Shot record with 108.8 mph blast (Video)

Bobby Hull's Slap shot was clocked at 121 mph and his brother Dennis Hull had a harder shot !

Am I the only one who read "Pretty, pretty good" in Larry David's voice?

I think even if Zdeno Chara using the same power like other player, his longer arm plus longer hockey stick give him advantage over other players

Big mans hits the rubber HARD

I don't pretend to know much about hockey but hardly a sports report goes by, and I see or read about what this giant of a man can do, that I don't say with a lot of sarcasm "good thing we got rid of him ! ???". I cannot imagine the thought processes that resulted in the release of this man from the Senators. If ever there was a franchise player, Zdeno Chara was that player ! I think my way of thinking was endorsed by Alfie when he applauded Chara's performance.

Yawn. Done under "perfect circumstances" with yet another "special stick".

Hand them all woodies and allow one stride.

Then it would actually be impressive.

Chara your still a #$%$ hole in my mind your dorik..

You know some of the players like this competition. They're probably thinking, I'm not blocking those shots, the goalie is on his own.

Of course Chara is going to have the fastest shot, he got a waiver to use a longer stick than regulation.

Al Iafrate stills has the hardest slap shot. The sticks then where made of wood and didn't flex like todays equipment.
108+ mph is impresive though! Chara is the man

I just averaged Chara's four shots, and he averaged 10.225 mph per shot. If I am ever on the ice at the same time Zee is, I don't need to be reminded to stay well out of his way when he shoots the puck, thank you very much.

I kinda feel bad for Team Alfredsson's goalies (Elliot, Lundqvist, and Quick) in today's ASG. SInce there isn't a lot of defense going on the d-men won't be blocking tons of shots. This nearly guarantees Chara has a clean path to the net when he shoots his one-timers, lol.

They need to swing wood then they can call it a record

108.8 O.K. Now lets see him do it with a WOOD stick.

That was about the speed he pushed Pacioretty's head into the steel upright wasn't it

if one has the long barrel gun then one will be more accurate and can shoot furthest. He is using non standard hockey stick and have an advantage over other players. remove the advantage of having non standard stick, he would not even make the all star.

And a 7-foot tall basketball player can dunk a basketball easily too. So what?

Alfredsson at 5'10" tall hit it 101.3 MPH without being 6'9" and 260 pounds with a longer stick.

so he got the fastest goal in NHL record. how many goals does this guy actually does in a real game?

Let's see him try that with a wooden stick. A lot of that is technology at work too.

We should have put the Shafia's in net for Chara's shots.
