bohonos76 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Why does everyone in the NHL skate the same now. There are no longer any distinctive skating styles. Gone are the days of the distinctive skating style that separated some players from the rest, Pavel Bure, Mario Lemiuex, even Russ Courtnall. We need a defenceman who skates like Jyrki Lumme once did. These guys don't exist anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnarcore Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Two Canucks fans favorites come to mind for the effortless skating: Duncan Keith and Drew Doughty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRypien37 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 The most fluid and technical skater we have had in recent years was Ballard. Just watching him skate was so satisfying. Effortless and precise. Amazing skater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyhee Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Why? In what way, specifically, do you see different styles (as opposed to being merely a better skater) being an advantage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realtor Rod Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Virtanen is different, you just have to not think about Ehlers when you see him skating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what way, specifically, do you see different styles (as opposed to being merely a better skater) being an advantage? Indeed. It's like in basketball, where most players more or less shoot the same way. Shooting percentages have gone up, and nowadays skaters are faster than ever because of proper training.

CanucksSayEh Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Tanev looks like Keith when retrieving pucks in our zone, just doesn't have that elusiveness. We Have had a lot of great skaters recently, just most of them suck as players. Horvat looks really good, can't beleive skating was a knock on him not too long ago.
