Gameday Throwback To Al MacInnis Winning The Hardest Shot Competition

One of the most legendary slapshots of all time. Imagine if he played today with these sticks? I was going to originally put the clip of him breaking Jocelyn Thibault’s finger with a NUKE from the point but it unfortunately looks like it was filmed in watercolor and there weren’t a lot of cell phones recording back then, so this footage is all we got.

That very well may be one of the most impressive things you can do in a hockey game. Make a totally legal play during the course of a game and injure the opposing goalie strictly due to having a bazooka coming out of your shoulders. If you’re Jocelyn Thibault, what do you even do in this situation? Its not like you can hide from that bomb, you have to SAVE IT … and either he lets in a goal or gets hit with something that BROKE HIS FINGER even with a glove on!

A shot so hard that he put a hole through the boards

People forget he did it with one of the weirdest curves ever.
