That's not something that you can instill in somebody that doesn't have it. 'That's something that you're born with or you develop over time.

'I was sitting next to Tarasenko while he was going and we were just saying that you can't really teach speed like that,' Anaheim Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler said. The rest of the NHL All-Stars get to see McDavid's speed on a regular basis, but it was still impressive for them to watch what he did up close Saturday. 'I feel like he was good off the hop and I was kind of sleeping,' MacKinnon said.

MacKinnon is one of the fastest players in the NHL himself, but he couldn't quite keep up with McDavid. McDavid defeated Nathan MacKinnon of the Colorado Avalanche in his heat, and did so pretty easily by six-tenths of a second. He's an unbelievable skater and he deserves it.' 'Maybe if I had a running start or something like that … but deserves to be the fastest guy ever to do it. 'I was happy with that run, honestly,' McDavid said. McDavid insisted he was still happy with his time and it didn't bother him he didn't get the same conditions as Larkin, but it was impossible not to sense that it bothered him a little bit. Video: Fastest Skater: McDavid shows his incredible speed McDavid's time was 13.31 seconds, or 0.138 of a second slower than Larkin. 'I was definitely aware of that, that's why I wanted to try that to see if I could get that,' McDavid said. McDavid knew Larkin had that running start and wanted the same thing, but was told he had to start at a line drawn on the ice a few feet from the red line. McDavid then had an opportunity to break the record for the fastest lap ever set by Detroit Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin last year, a time of 13.172 seconds that Larkin achieved with the help of a running start from the blue line.
