The record McDavid broke at the all star game was Mike Gartner's... a 36 year old Gartner record... doubt he beats it Gartner at 28.

The Russian Rocket is the fastest in NHL history followed by the great Bobby Orr THEN Mcdavid. and what about Paul Coffey? It is clear by these posts everyone hasnt lived lonng enough and knows very little about the greats of all time. Get on Youtube
Seem to recall lemieux making other skaters look like they were standing still as well.

Bourque just forgot he was playing in the clutch-and-grab era.
I'm not old enough to have watched Gartner but every other player to "beat" him aside from McDavid is a scam. No disrespect to Larkin who is obviously one hell of a skater but its somewhat apples to oranges.

When you talk about Coffey it reminds me of old Orr clips. Bobby would just go out there and dominate everyone with his skating and pull the same moves if the opportunities weren't there. Both were exceptional beyond belief.
Along with any other skill it always has to beg the questions, How good were they compared to their peers, and how good was the training that was available as well as the equipment they had?
If there were some era-adjusted stats for straight ahead speed and agility I wouldn't be surprised to see Gartner at the top.

McDavid is the fastest skater with the puck in the history of the NHL. There's no comparison. His ability to go from a standstill to top speed is unparalleled either now or in the history of the NHL.
i'd actually like to see a skills competition with the best of the best across the league.
Have all the team skills competitions the week before the AS game.
Then take the top times/speeds/scores from all the skills and bring them to the AS Game.
Best on Best. Just what if there's a #7Dman that shoots as hard as Chara... or a 4th liner that has blazing speed that only the fans of his small market team are aware of.
Getting a few guys in on 900k contracts and giving them the opportunity to win 25k, 50k - might even see players really try.

Connor McDavid is the quickest skater I've ever seen, both in overall speed and acceleration. No doubt in my mind.
Honourable mention in acceleration: Nate Mackinnon and Phil Kessel*.
Honourable mention in skating at full speed: Gartner for sure but I don't recall him skating with the puck the way McDavid can. Larkin and Hagelin - same thing.
*when he smells a scoring chance, Kessel's acceleration is as good as I've even seen (or at least it was when he was younger... I haven't seen him play as much since he left the Leafs).
