I'm watching a replay of the Sharks-Oilers game and Brian Campbell is really fun to watch (yes, I'm relatively new to hockey).

Who are the best skaters, and while you're at it, who are the worst skaters?

Modano and Neidermayer. Zhamnov in his day was pretty sweet. PAvel Bure was insanely talented on his feet. Paul Coffee could move. so many more I am sure.

Afinogenov was a really fast skater.

Jon Mirasty the worst skater ever.

Wendel Clark skated to Bure and said: "If Odjick touches Gilmour one more time, I'll take YOUR head off!" Bure must have passed on the message. Odjick never touched me the rest of the game. - Gilmour

World class skater. Too bad he's not very good anywhere else. If he even had one more ability, I could see him as a top four guy.

My statement on this thread: Joni Pitkanen's skating is fantastic.
