Were you aware that Hasek plays for the Red Wings? We get that you don't like him, but it's not necessary to jump in and deny him credit for coming back from injury and a tough start.

We also get that you're obsessed with him. I on the other hand just choose to operate objectively in reality. I'm sorry that I think it's nothing short of a joke that he got a star of the week. There's no way you can honestly say that those two games last week were worthy outings. I mean, this isn't even about how good or bad he played. The other teams didn't do even close to enough to give him an opportunity to play well. It's as simple as that. I only had positive things to say about his play since returning, but this is a joke. Sorry for being objective.

No Hasek haters???

As tempting as it is to do, please don't give "haters" or an anti-goalie fan club an excuse to come into this thread so the 700th installment of Goalie Wars results. I don't know if this was your intention or not, but seeing posts that bait people to do such things is almost as annoying and frustrating as seeing biased garbage from an anti-Hasek/Osgood or anti-goalie of the week fan club. Two wrongs don't make a right, especially in this instance.

Pity handout. Nothing more, nothing less.

Did he play bad? No, but the two games that I believe would've counted for the week were utter and complete jokes. I think he'd even tell you that. Even yesterday, 2 goals on under 20 shots for a sub .900 sv%? Good for him for getting the nod, but if his name weren't Dominik Hasek, this wouldn't have happened.

:nonono:

Can we please, all of us, just for once be happy for both of our goaltenders that we have that can still play at a high level despite both being "old" and can we please be happy that Hasek is showing signs of progress of getting out of his rut?

Good for him. Maybe we do have the 2 best goalies in the league afterall.

Some here like Hasek, some like OsGood, some dislike Hasek, some dislike OsGood, some like both. So, there's gotta be a group that hates both, right? How come we never hear from them?

honestly, as much as I like Dom, I find it pretty outrageous that he got one of the NHL's "stars of the week". He won 3 games, 1 of which he played horrible in IMO (Carolina), and had a ridiculessly low ammount of shots on him in each of these games! Hats off to him in the first two games, but I hardly believe his performace was among the top 3 players in the league for this week. lol.

Do it, tape it, and put it on youtube.

What do you expect? You act as if it's not inevitable in some way, shape or form. And again, to keep it fair, I thought Osgood was going to have a crappy game tonight and I think I might've been the only one to bash him in the GDT for that goal. Granted, apparently I didn't see the angle that showed he was interfered with, none the less, let's just say once again that I call it how I see it.

While I'm partial to Osgood between the two goalies, I'm most partial to winning. I have no problem with him playing great. I never even said anything bad about his play in the last 3 games, though I don't think he was too strong in the 3rd game back. In this case though, I thought it was stupid that he got the honor. I substantiated my statement with a logical argument. Heaven forbid.

I can understand your distaste with bandwagon bashing, but as someone who rarely jumps on bandwagons and attempts to logically justify his opinions and posts, I demand more respect for my opinions on Hasek. They're tried and true and wholly non-reliant on the irrational leanings of the sheep that tend to populate this board from both goalies camps. I don't roll with either camp. I do my own thing. I call it how I see it.

That said, I want you to break many plates on your head. Do it. Then come back and explain to me why I should kiss the ass of a guy I don't like who is having a mediocre season at best even given recent "success" in the most lopsided games of the season. It was fine to bash Lang when he was around, but I can't bash Hasek? Sorry, no deal. I've given him more than his due this year given his performance and have supported him getting more starts and opportunity's to prove himself than the people on his own bandwagon, so cut this self-righteous pacifist bulls*** out and let me express my opinions. If you can't reply in a constructive, conversational manner, don't post. How the hell are you any better than the bandwagon zealots from either side if you can't even pose more of an argument than "can't we just be happy?" Stupid!

Next time, try dealing with what's there. If what I post is so ridiculous and off-base, put me in my place with a logical argument as opposed to some lame and petty attempt to come off as "above" the situation. Go break plates.

That's all I'm trying to say...it doesn't matter if you like him or not, it's silly that he got this nod. Saying so doesn't even minimize his play so much as force us to look at it in context to the games that were played, which were not at all challenging. Again, I think even he would say that it was ridiculous.
