It springs off the stick with even more force, so as soon as it leaves the blade, it probably has the most power behind it.
Tanguay probably took it near the peak of the power.

Again - could be a ridiculous question, I feel like it would take a couple seconds to get to maximum velocity.

Once the stick returns to its natural position is when the puck has reached its Highest energy point. I learned that from Neil deGrasse Tyson at a lecture he gave . I did in fact ask him when exactly a puck off a hockey stick has the most torque. Praise logic.
