Should put Chara under the basket and have him take slappers down the court just to keep the babies on their toes

Someone set the world record recently with a slap shot of about 114 mph.

it's the KHL though, so they might be playing fast and loose.

They skate from center ice (versus NHL where they skate from just outside the blue line) and shoot a lot closer.

Old timers? It wasn't that long ago! I'm 25 and used a wood stick when I was young. I'd like to see Al Macinnis with one of the new sticks.
