This is most likely a stupid question so my apologies in advance but at what point would the puck have the most power? I feel like the best case scenario (in a awful scenario) would be to take it less than a second after release.
Again - could be a ridiculous question, I feel like it would take a couple seconds to get to maximum velocity.
Edit: Thanks for the answers.

it starts to slow down after immediate impact with the stick, it can't accelerate after it's shot.

The way sticks are designed now with the flex, if you fire off a slapshot like that, it's almost like spring loading the puck for the release. Not only do you have the power of the shot from the strength of the player and that forward motion force but the stick also designed to put more force behind it with the flex and release. 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.

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.
