Are people really debating about who is faster between Kreider and Hall? Folks, they are two of the top skaters in the world. There is a point where people can only get so fast and these two are in that discussion.
Morale of the story, on any given day, one will marginally beat the other. Just accept tat they are both in the upper tier of great skaters.

To wit I'll point out that even in his prime Steve Nash wasn't the fastest guy in the NBA, but the tempo at which he played the game outstripped all others. Maybe that's more about decision making though a la Gretzky.
Well as another example Barry sanders was easily the fastest in a football game despite not being the fastest on the football field
