The Five Best Wrist-Shots in the NHL

There are different types of players in the NHL today.

In order to be a successful team, more often then not you need a good mixture of a-lot of the different player types in the NHL.

There are the play-makers, think Sidney Crosby, Henrik Sedin, Nicklas Backstrom, Joe Thornton, Marc Savard, Martin St.Louis

There are the power-forwards, think Dustin Byfuglien, Dustin Brown, David Backes, Troy Brouwer, Milan Lucic, Rick Nash

There are the tough guys, think Colton Orr, Derek Boogard, Jody Shelley

There are the danglers, think Pavel Datsyuk

And then there are the snipers.

Players who have a natural sense to score goals. Laser shots, with power and accuracy, think Alexander Semin, Dany Heatley, Steven Stamkos, Alexander Ovechkin, Phil Kessel, Ilya Kovalchuk, Marian Gaborik.

In this list, I will be providing you with the five players who have a better (harder, faster, more accurate) wrist shot then the others, with video to back up my picks.

Enjoy.
