shadow47 1 Report post Posted April 6, 2008 Likely the last regular season game in the career of Dominik Hasek. Too bad he couldn't pull off the shutout and inch into the top 5 alltime, I'd imagine from a personal standpoint he'd rather be tied with Jacques Plante than Alex Connell What with his injuries and all I can't see Detroit resigning him with Howard's development and he won't go anywhere else. Thanks for the memories Dom. Related note, anyone who caught CGY/VAN it was a great little spontaneous ceremony honoring Trevor Linden's last game with Iginla et al shaking his hand and a few laps around the rink while waving, first star, etc., I'll never forget TL's '94 run to the Finals, a lot of heart in that guy.

Nero 20 Report post Posted April 6, 2008 Came across this bit of gold at the official Blackhawks forum...

detroitdan 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2008 it may have said sell-out, but man there looked like there were a lot of empty seats there...no matter, great game...exactly the way I wanted them to go into the playoffs...couple of PPGs, scored first, Huddles got a goal, Hasek was steady...looking forward to the playoff run now!

WhiteLightning91 105 Report post Posted April 6, 2008 (edited) Why do so many of you guys get your panties all up in a bunch over the damn commentators??? Does commentators singing the praises of the Red Wings really get you off that much??? I just never understood why so many get so irritated over commentators other than Ken & Mickey. If you hate listening to them, just mute your TV. Edited April 6, 2008 by WhiteLightning91 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,804 Report post Posted April 6, 2008 Couldn't happen to two nicer guys! Awesome job, Ozzie and Dom. They should buy Lilja a rolex. He's responsible for the Jennings trophy all by himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reds4Life 51 Report post Posted April 6, 2008 He's responsible for the Jennings trophy all by himself. You forgot Sammy. Both his tremendous defensive play and notable offensive production were key to Jennings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,804 Report post Posted April 6, 2008 You forgot Sammy. Both his tremendous defensive play and notable offensive production were key to Jennings. You're right! He kept the goalies so busy at the other end, that the puck never got to our side of the ice, hence increasing the chances of winning the Jennings trophy.

kylee 727 Report post Posted April 6, 2008 (edited) this is exactly the type of game i was hoping to see from the Wings and more specifically Hasek today. He put the bugaboo Hawks away and pretty much gave up one goal when the team was playing bend and not break defense. i feel much better going into the playoffs seeing Hasek and the Wings sort of right the ship with a nice win today. Lidstrom looked great. Hudler somehow gets a goal and an assist, props to him. Edited April 6, 2008 by kylee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Packer487 3 Report post Posted April 6, 2008 Congrats to Dom and Ozzie (and the defense) on the Jennings Trophy! Hard to believe it's the first time the Wings' goalies have won that award since Ozzie and Vernon in 95-96. Thank God the regular season is finally over. The last month was just brutal. Now the fun stuff starts. Sadly, I'm going to miss our game Thursday as I'll be in Denver for the Frozen Four. Go get 'em Wings! 16 wins to go.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just wanted Dats to grab another two points to put him ahead of Iginla and keep him in third place. *sigh* Still- Dats in 4th and Zetterberg in 6th is a pretty awesome sight to see!
