McDavid went red line to red line.. Larking went from one blue line (when the whistle blew to start the clock) did a lap and went to the opposite blue line.. Larkin won
Lmao McDavid didnt beat larkins record….McDavid didn't start on the women's tee like larkins did.Everyone who knows the sport knows McDavid is the fastest skater in the game..
It’s amazing how fast he takes off wow he’s faster than Larkin all day look what Larkin does in a game then mcdavid no comparison Larkin cheated took a big run at it
Every comment on this clip mentions Larkin's advantage, directly resulting in him keeping the record — but the people who RUN THE LEAGUE can't figure out a way to either have both records, erase the old one, or at least mention Larkin's head start as a caveat.
The NHL is over a century old, and still everything is trial and error like its their inaugural year.
I’ve seen mackinnon skate way better than this idk if he was fully up to speed to everything but I’ve seen him beat macdavud to pucks and game speed is what matters
I think Nate should do this again too. I know he was beat here by McDavid, but they made him turn left and he might not be as comfortable in that direction. I think if nothing else, it would have been at least a closer race if they could pick the direction they skated in back then.

Go larkin
All this could be settled in a head to head between McDavid and Larkin. I will put money on McDavid any day of the week.
I think Dave Andreychuk is faster.
my mom is faster.
Philstrom is faster
This year can beat Larkin now
Larkin started at the blue line, so he had speed we the clock started. McDavid would kill his record if he had speed from the start
Larkin 👏 got 👏 a 👏 headstart!
One time I made McDavid ice the puck out in the boonies, but he destroyed me in the face off
Now give Mcdavid the skating start like Larkin got
Larkins record is BS he got a running start
Larken who ? 👍👍👍👍👍

Im positive that MacKinnon is faster in a game in a straight line
Head start
Idc what people say, McDavid is the fastest guy on earth, if not of all time
The whole thing was a misunderstanding. He actually did beat Larkin…
McDavids way better on his turns
Larkin > Mcdavid

Hey Sportsnet, in the off-season why don't you try and arrange a head to head between mcdavid and larkin to settle it once and for all?

Who is Larkin?
Larkin's record doesn't count, so there's that.
Mackinnon disadvantaged by having to go clockwise. Not saying he can beat McDavid but a full lap going counterclockwise 1 at a time is better.
It’s kinda sad that he can’t beat Larkin
Larkin slipped and he still beat him by 2 tenths of a second
Sorry
Man if i could run that fast to the bathroom

They really need to bring back the player Vs player format
Record or not, in the actual game Mcdavids speed is unquestionable.
Two many bluies
Everyone crying about larkin. Edm hasnt won anything in their life besides draft lotterys
McDavid is obviously faster but MacKinnon was going 85%
Oleg Petrov in his prime would destroy anyone in this league
I’d destroy that record.
0:27
McDavid jumped early, unfortunately.
Lots of guys in the league can fly now; The real test for me, is do this with a puck…
It doesn’t even look like he’s trying
He was only 20
MACKINNONS WAY BETTEER!!!!!
You can see Mack’s not trying as hard he can
Love all the excuses😂. Larkin blew a tire on his record run so there’s that. Let the whining continue though 🤣
I wouldn't say blows past
McDavid can play hockey at that speed and McKinnon and Larkin can't.
