Shean Donovan – incredible speed and hands of stone.

I’m way too young to have a complete understanding of these, especially the more niche ones like these, but I will say that Pospisil is absolutely fucking rapid

I’ll throw one out for Paul Byron

Fastest what?
Skater? Shot?
Fastest Skater in franchise history is currently Martin Pospisil.

I mean if it’s your Nick name you have to be fast. But based off Data?
Matthew Lombardi baby! fast like a cheetah, hands made of stone.

Paul Byron?

It’s gotta be Byron. He was/is bonkers fast. Lombardi has a greater legacy with the Flames, but I think Byron edges him out for pure speed.

Lombo for sure. Pretty sure he had cement in his gloves though. My favourite player during that time!

Is it insane to say Joakim Nordstrom lol

Matt Lombardi, but he also looked even faster because he played in an era where guys were bulkier, so maybe Byron is actually faster in the speedier era

I’ll mention a name people might’ve forgotten, Chuck Kobasew. I believe he won the fastest flame at the skills competition a few years in a row in the late 00’s.

That was wild having both Lombardi and Donovan in the same lineup.
Both were fast but Lombardi had better acceleration and cornering. Donovan was really fast north-south though.

Rico Fata could skate like the wind. Sometimes.

Rico Fata- skating super fast all the time to random spots

the dark horse is Joe colborne.
I remember he was right up with McDavid in the league in terms of most time spent at or above 30 km/h
