Dom's new signature move

[dallas27 7]

I'd call it "one day he's going to get burned and then everyone will want Hasek's head on a stick" move.

[esteef 2,679]

That dude just got ZAMBONIED!

[Frozen-Man 144]

Flying snowangel of death.

HaHaHaHaHaHaHa

[SouthernWingsFan 854]

Definitely isn't nothing new, but I call him Human Bowling Ball when he does that.

Flying Snow Angel of Death is pretty funny though.

[Turkey 0]

I agree with just using his name. Give 'em a good Haseking, Dom!

That's just silly regardless of the "move" conventional or not eventually someone will score a goal on it, but if it worked the other 99 times you did it then you keep using it. By your logic maybe goalies shouldn't use the "butterfly" anymore because they've been scored on while trying to stop the puck that way?!

It was more of a joke. But there is truth to it. He's going to get burned doing it one time and LGW is going to riot in the GDT.

And being in position and using the butterfly is a tad bit different situation than his slide tackle.

Dom rarely gets burned on the flying human bowling ball angel of zamboni-like death move. Mostly it works, or he wouldn't keep doing it for oh, say, the past 15 years that I know about -- might have been doing it before that in CZ. I suspect Dom would get beat up just as bad if not worse by fans for standing his ground on a 2-on-0, or 3-on-1, odd man rush ....and the shooter scores, because hedidn't try something.

When Dom is out of the crease and czeching a shooter, it's usually because no one else on the team is there to stop the guy -- so Dom does it himself.

No, that's just what you think. Usually when it's a 2-0 or a 3-1 it's not the goalies fault unless it's a fivehole goal or a shot he should have stopped.

Last night probably should have been a 2 minute penalty and it may only rarely happen when they score but when they do there are going to be countless "stay in your goddamn net Hasek" posts unlike in this thread, people will not be NEARLY as receptive and light-hearted. That's not saying I don't think it's highly entertaining when he just bull rushes someone when they are on a breakaway, I just don't want to see him do it in the playoffs when there is a little more on the line. So, until then Hasek, take out as many people as you want.

I like the previous poster's kids' idea, let's just call it the Hasek. "Oh my God! He just Hasek'd him!"

That has longevity too. Long after Hasek is gone, it will truly become a verb in itself. When a goalie in 2020 does it, the announcers will go: "What an amazing hasek!"

BTW, here was my "Dom Jr." attempting to Hasek a kid on Saturday. Unfortunately "Ovechkin Jr." fired a top-shelf shot off before my goalie could lunge.

Someone should create a poll so we can vote on the name, just to make it official.

I think that would be fun.

But I'm too lazy.

How about "Hasek flying human bowling ball angel of zamboni-like death Czech poke"?

Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have a winner. Now would someone write it down for those of us who have those senior intellectual interludes?

I think a goalie should have the right to do whatever to keep the puck out of the net short of anything unsportsmanlike, like slashing or whatever. Which is to say, if he feels he has to come out and tackle someone, I say more power to him. It makes for a more exciting game. So if he needs to do a "Hasek" to win the game, then I'm all for it.

Your absolutly right, and those that would riot, would be overreacting. I cannot count how many times someone has made a comment about one of Dom's unorthodox goaltending methods, it doesn't matter if it's flopping, haseking, going behind the net...whatever he does it has seemed to work for him through his career. His stats and accolades prove that, so the next time he does a Dom like move and gets scored on, maybe it would be prudent for the mass public to stop and think about how many times in his career prior that very same moved has saved a goal, a game, and possibly a championship. The message is still the same, if it works 9 times out of 10 you keep doing it.

that'll be the day.

But you're right, of course.

I'm now having flashbacks of the Hasek-Gaborik incident thread that turned into a complete train wreck, and people rioted even when Hasek did his job RIGHT.

I'm not sure if I should be laughing hysterically about that or just be thinking "Are you freaking kidding me?!"

I guess both would suffice all right concerning this.

[LeftWinger 5,135]

...the problem is, Dom doesn't even disguise it has him going for the puck. Expecially the first time he did it this year he made no attempt at the puck, he just skated out a slid into the player, tripping him. He is gonna do this in the playoffs and the WILL call him for the trip and we will lose the series on that powerplay...

...I like poke Czech, but I got a name for it that fits even better. PENALTY! Dom, stay the F**K in you net!!!

...btw, this is another good example as to why goalies should be fair game when they attempt something assinine as this. If they can come out, WAAAAY out of their net and just blatently take the player out while pretending to go after the puck, without being penalized, then they should be fair game. Then he would stop this stupid S**T. Just call the penalty already...

If that is the case, then goaltenders should be fair game when they come out of the net.

In all seriousness, this would, IMO be more for the protection of skaters than to deter goaltenders from wandering. If the goaltender can do whatever he pleases as long as it's within the rules, it's just a matter of time before it goes bad.

Is your middle name "hyperbole" or "panic," by chance?

Have you mistakenly made your way to these forums whilst in fact in search for some anti-Wings site?

You are ridiculous. I can't even believe how much negative s*** you manage to whip up. Newsflash: Hasek has been doing this for a decade. I've seen him called for a penalty on it once, and that was against Gaborik. That penalty was probably more because the ref was shocked by the result than because it broke any rule. Newsflash: as long as the goalie hits the puck before the player who is carrying it, and as long as the goalie hasn't passed center ice in doing so, it's a save--not a penalty. Newsflash: stop cooking up such ridiculous garbage.

For the record, your blurb on Hasek doing this move in the playoffs and getting called for a penalty, and that penalty causing a goal by the other team, and that goal losing us the series.. wow. Just wow. This seems like some sort of cracked situation a paranoid would think up. Trying too hard?

You gave in your card. Get off the train.

Without causing too much of an uproar the past two times Hasek did that he hasn't touched the puck first, no where close to it. It's hard to see since it happens so fast but if you slow down the replays it's apparent. But it works for him so, whatever. Like I said, I'd much rather he didn't try it in the playoffs though.

[Williams29fan 6]

I personally use the "what the HELL are you doing? Get back in the NET!!!" name most often.

I really like the Czech Poke and the Hasek'd ones too!
