Roman Josi

Extreme Speed:  The user charges the target at blinding speed.

Whirlpool: Traps foes in a violent swirling whirlpool.

It’s no secret that Josi is FAST. His use of extreme speed helps him blow by defending opponents and drive the puck to the net. It feels like every game that we see Josi take the puck in the defensive zone and take it 200 feet the other way. No real surprise why he was the second on the team in total points.

Josi just doesn’t have North-South speed, he also has East-West speed. Using his whirlpool move, Josi maneuvers around opponents in all directions with such ease they are often seen spinning around trying to catch up to him. His puck moving ability is truly one of his greatest assets.
