Sickest Hands in the Show, Lefty and Righty?

Question

I say Ales Hemsky for Rightys

and Pavel Datsyuk for Leftys

Answer 1

Right now... this is the ERA of Skilled Players in the NHL (as in depth) There are many guys who have puck-handling skills from h**l in the NHL right now! I dont think that I could narrow it down to 2 let alone 10! Its a great time to be a hockey fan and I LOVE IT!

Years back (man does it kill me to type this) but JAGR was known for his skills.. great hands and hard to get off the puck! Forsberg was that way, and now I think both Datsyuk and Zata are like that. They are hard to get the puck from because of their incredible skills (HOMER answer) But yes, Ovechkin, Hemsky, SID, Zata, Dats, Kovalchuk, Spezza.... the list goes on and on.... are all incredible in their own way with the puck in many different ways.

Answer 2

The only way Hemsky scores a goal is if he goes into the net with the puck, so I am going to go with Kovalchuk, though if we can go back a couple years Mario Lemieux was a pretty insane puckhandler. Among lefties it's either Datsyuk, Kovalev or Nash

Answer 3

Lefty = Alex Kovalev

Right = Kovalchuk

Answer 4

Best LH hands in the league belong to Kovalev. In fact, the best hands in the league belong to Kovalev, period. No offense to Datsyuk, but if you've seen Kovalev in a practice, you know what I'm talking about.

On the RH side, Ovechkin, Hemsky and Kovalchuk all have considerable skill. I think Getzlaf can give those righties a run, as well. Gotta have a North American in there for posterity, right? LOL
