Buffalo Sabres forward has been showing consistent improvement year after year, though some fans are still waiting for him to truly break out as a superstar. Playing for a Sabres team that has struggled for years, Thompson is pushing hard to help bring the franchise back to success. Optimism surrounds the Sabres’ potential for a strong season, and one thing that certainly stands out is Thompson’s blistering slapshot.
Recently, he has set the record for the fastest shot ever recorded using the NHL EDGE technology—a remarkable achievement, even if harder shots may have gone undocumented in the past. To top it off, Thompson scored on the play, underscoring the ultimate value of his powerful shot.
“When you shoot the puck at 104.69 mph, good things are bound to happen.”
Tage Thompson is having quite the day, becoming the second player in three days to set a new record for the hardest shot in the NHL EDGE era (since 2021-22).
