Let me tell you about my DOPE tight idol Ben Dover of the HamiltionsteelBIRDS. This guy is a real tight and dope Dman whomst I grease La Roach constantly strive to emulate wow he is fast I can barely see him on the ice almost as if he is some kind of insane hockey phantom blowing past everyone, He literally could not be faster then he is. Although my own personal on ice speed is modest by comparison I will by strapping small children to my legs and back whilst skating as fast as possible through a red bull crashed ice course with 2 tim hortons double doubles in my hands dual wield caffeine fueled insanity training.

The reasoning behind my focus on skating is the importance it holds in the current state of our game. Foot speed by itself is important however alone it is not enough to carry you to success. With a premium placed on positional and transitional play both of those attributes, if they are weak can be patched over or simply supplemented by straight hauling ass down the ice like a goddamn freight train destined to slam some GINOS into the net, Also if you are like me and want to cave in someones head going at sixty miles per hour and driving your shoulder into someones orbital bone killing them on the ice, speed may or may not play a factor.
