 Legends of Hockey -- NHL Player Search -- Player -- Al MacInnis
It comes down to two words, "the shot." Al MacInnis is acknowledged as possessing the hardest slapshot in the NHL, and although at one time he used it at every opportunity, MacInnis now employs the fear of his shot to set up plays, take an extra step, or unleash the blast of another drive.
