Hasek to Dominate 'Canes...Ozzie will own Preds

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Loo. I know you have to agree with me that even though Hasek is unconventional this was the dumbest thing he could have done with a 5-0 lead. Like. Is the game on the line? No. So don't be a jackass and try to make some stupid play that endangers your career.

You really need to calm down. Dom has done this move countless times before. He is playing for the win, but he is also playing for the shutout. If you were a goalie, you'd understand that every win, every achievement is important, no matter how big or small. Dom is Dom, he is bat-s*** crazy, he plays to win and he plays with an intensity, his move was not dirty at all because he was clearly going for the puck, not the man. No one was hurt, and with the way Dom slid and balled up, i'm not sure what you were so worried about, he was not going to get hurt on that play like you think he was. 5-0 win or not, the guy is paid and truly believes in KEEPING the puck out of his net. End of story.

Yeah if you would like to play two hand touch hockey... Not hitting from behind or cross checks, slashes etc to the head. Other than that, keep your head up it's fair game. Again that play never would have happened if Gaborik wouldn't have been looking down at his feet and the puck.

Be sure to send Hasek an e-mail stating that next time there is a 2-1 or someone with their head down to just start skating at them. And when Hasek takes the body and lets in a goal he can blame it on the fact that he had his head down and he was trying to take the body.

I'm pretty sure the fact that Redmond is one of the biggest homers in the broadcasting business kind of makes that argument weightless.

Dude, MIckey is pretty damn weird, but "one of the biggest homers in the broadcasting business?" Clearly you don't listen to other team's broadcasts. We are VERY VERY fortunate to have Ken and MIckey as our broadcasters, since they know more about hockey than most of the hockey broadcasters for other teams. s***, I actually think that Ken and MIckey were voted by SI or something like that as the best color commentators for the NHL.

I make fun of Redmond all the time because sometimes I really think he's boozing it up, but to call him a homer, that's al ittle too far, guy.

I am a goalie. And he wasn't playing for the win. HE ALREADY HAD THE WIN.

What achievement does he have to play for now? The fact that he is going to the hall of fame? Please tell me.

It doesn't matter if he wasn't hurt or if he was. It's the fact that he put himself into a position to do so.

Clearly you didn't understand the emphasis on big or SMALL achievements. a shutout is an achievement. Play the game, this isn't water polo - it's a contact sport, even for the 'tenders.

He's not hurt, get over it.

He doesn't have anything to prove at this point and he doesn't have to achieve anything. Well. OTHER THAN WINNING ANOTHER STANLEY CUP. And what he did risked that.

I really wish he would have gotten hurt. Just so the fact that everyone here would realize how stupid this play was.

He had the win, true. SwedeLundin is right. Dom wanted that damned shutout! :P He will tell you it didn't matter and all he wanted was the W, but that milestone mattered to him, I bet. He's tired of watching from the bench and he's tired of arm-chair coaches and fans deciding he's done -- when he's clearly not. He's worked his butt off to get back on the ice. It shows.

I wish he would be more careful, too, Dallas. But Dom is Dom. He's going to play his game, his way, for as long as his body will let him.

That doesn't make any sense at all, Dom wouldn't and hasn't "challenged" "checked" or whatever else you'd liked to call it on a 2 on 1. On a 2 on 1 you play the shooter and like the D take away the pass. I don't agree with your opinion but to this point you've at least made sense with your posts. This one was just silly.

Oh no's, I've commented negatively on Redmond and CROSSED THE LINE :rolleyes:

No i just think you're biased and I shared my opinion to the contrary. You can say what you want to say, just as I can. I never said you couldn't share your opinion, I just said that you're post was a little unjustified.

You said anyone with their head down is fair game. Someone controlling the puck, whatever the situation is, with their head down is fair game. So Hasek would be able to skate at them and "challenge" them whether it be a 3-0, 3-2, 2-1 or whatever.

I'm just really done. That's awesome that everyone thinks this was great. I see it as a chance to lose a hall of famer. I guess I am in the wrong for this.

What has this board come to, everyone hates Hasek and thinks he shouldnt have made that play. I guess you'd have rather seen Gaborik rip off Haseks jock and throw it into the stands?

Whenever he makes that play the fans at the Joe love it, this is the kind of stuff that I thought everyone liked until I read these boards. Lighten up folks.

And to the person who said Mickey was the biggest homer in the buisness, you havent watched many other broadcasts, he's so un-biased it's not funny. I'd say he's easily the best FSN broadcaster out there bar-none.

Let me clarify, anyone with their head down is fair game to a hit, wether it's by Hasek on a breakaway or Kronwall in the neutral zone. If the opportunity presents it's self...

I don't hate Hasek. I just think he was a dumbass for doing it. And yes, I would have rather seen Gaborik do that. Why? Because there is no chance of Hasek getting injured. That's why. But that makes too much sense. Too much common sense. I remember, way back when, when there was a thread for quotes. And Matt posted one that said "if common sense was common everyone would have it"

I almost feel Mickey is like the John Madden of the NHL except not as John Madden I guess lol

not everyone, just a small, very vocal contingent of posters, most of whom are conspicuously absent tonight. :)

PS - Dallas, I absolutely don't mean you... you're seriously concerned about the dangerousness of the play, and I can understand that. Done is done, friend. Can we let this one go now. please? I will tell Dom not to do it again but he might not listen. ;)

I can understand your arguement. He probably shouldnt have done it because he couldve gotten hurt, but whenever Hasek does stuff like that I love it because it brings you out of your seat or makes you laugh. I wouldnt have done either if Gaborik had gotten hurt, but he wasn't. Oh, and I think someone in the thread already said it, it's not like Dom thinks things through before he does them :P.

Know what brings me out of my seat. Beer. Well besides that. A FIGHT. Hasek so should have let the goal in and dropped his gloves.

Personally I would rather have seen Hasek make a fantastic save that everyone on this board is so confident he can make.

Generally I don't much like players intentionally taking the legs out from under other players no matter the circumstances because its a pretty low move to make

no pun intended

dude it's Hasek, he's done it sooo many times hes like an expert at it! Every player should expect Hasek will do that if your on a breakaway with your head down. Plus Hasek didn't do it to hurt Gaborik, im sure if he didnt come out Gaborik would of scored, so u can see Hasek did that so he can save it and get a shutout. He really needed that shutout anyways :)

OK, stay with me here. If the goalie prevents a goal on a breakaway, with a pokecheck, save, whatever, does it really matter? The goalie has "stopped" the breakaway goal chance, whether he actually had to stop a shot or just prevented a shot being taken. The only rules are the rules made by the players, there's no rule that says the goalie must face the shot if he can personally prevent the shot being taken.

Hasek got the puck first, so it doesn't matter. It wasn't a hipcheck, or even a check, he slid into the puck, like a slide tackle in soccer. Or...gasp...a pokecheck in hockey. This is still a contact sport, correct? That allows for some incidental contact or otherwise? Why don't you take a look at some highlights from the 1992 Stanley Cup Finals, you can see Hasek doing this same move on Kevin Stevens. That's 15 years ago for you math experts.

now you're being ridiculous and your bias is showing. If the play was illegal or deemed intent to injure, Hasek would be suspended.

It wasn't even a penalty, IMO (and Mickey's and most other people's). Did he need to take the risk late in a game that was clearly over? No. Would he be Dom if he didn't. No. And that has been the problem thus far this season -- Hasek hasn't looked like Hasek, and everyone whined about that. Now he does what Hasek always does, and ya'll whine about that, too.

Whatever. Dom has been doing what he did last night for a living for more than 15 years (he played hockey before he came to North America). The first time I saw that move was when he was a back up in Chicago. It was almost a carbon copy, in fact. Legal then, but not now, I suppose.

Move on. He didn't mean to hurt anyone, glad nothing bad happened to anybody. Tell Cole to keep his head up Sunday.

And go, Ozzie, own the Preds like you always do. :thumbup:

Besides people on this board and ken and mickey whining like little schoolboys because hasek's precious shutout might have ended on that Wild PP, i have found no one who doesn't think it was penalty.

now you're being ridiculous and your bias is showing. If the play was illegal or deemed intent to injure, Hasek would be suspended.

What bias? I was commenting on the ridiculous idea that a goalie should do whatever it takes to stop the puck from going into the net; you are finding bias where you want there to be one while I was only arguing an idea that had nothing to do with hasek.
