Fastest Guns in the NHL

The fists were flying faster than bullets. This guy could get off a dozen punches before the other guy knew he was in a fight.

Who was this armed man?

I can think of more than a few guys who could fit this bill but to get things started, I'll name a few that come right to mind:

John Kordic, Jack McIlargey, Mel Bridgman, Terry O'Reilly, Dave Hoyda,
Bob Nystrom and Joe Patterson.

Am I missing anyone?

Please feel free to add to my collection and CHOOSE ONLY ONE WINNER but add as many as you want.

Who had the fastest guns in the NHL, let's start the voting!!!

Hound Kelly was super quick off the draw
so was Nystrom
Kimble blazed
Tiger Williams in his early yrs (he matched Jack Mac..not easy to do)
But I might have to say Berube and Kordic as the two fastest handed guys.

Mirasty? I know he's not in the NHL or never has been but he's been pure entertainment for us for several years.

Ya Churla can throw em pretty fast that fight with Bassen was great. The bantom rooster had the heart of a lion, a real crowd pleaser.

Sorry I didn't clarify better, I meant Choose One Winner but you can add as many as you want at anytime. I was just trying to get who you thought was the best of all time. Thanks.

PS, shame on me for forgetting Craig Berube!

If I had to just choose one it would be Berube but for fun-

Lefty- Kordic

Righty- Berube

Besides Mirasty, a great choice, but how about Val James. That guy was fast and he hooked up with Kordic in an AHL battle that was like to machine guns going off!

Here's a good one that people might forget because he didn't fight that often Mike Keane.
