Does Anyone Else Miss Dom?

Nope, not a bit. 2002 was great. Retired. Went out on top. Then THE COMEBACK, jerking CuJo around, am I back, am I not, ow, I'm injured, maybe I will play, maybe not, that killed it for me. Good riddance you prima donna, and take your clothing line with you.

I think Ozzie played harder when Hasek was here. I'm not saying Ozzie isn't trying as hard this year. It's just hard to tell with the D the way is is right now. I miss him a little but I've always been an Ozzie fan and was real happy he was there last year to take over in the playoffs. I think Ozzie/Conklin is a good combo. Hasek was great but his time had come.

I miss his flashes of brilliance from last year and overall, I miss having a heart attack anytime he left the net!

Nope... don't miss him one minute and haven't thought about him until I saw this thread. Zero... Zilch... Nata...

Hasek SUCKED the last few years, I could not wait for him to retire. So sick of him making stupid decisions with the puck costing the team goals. Watching him fall on his back everytime he lost sight of the puck. He had the worst angling that i have seen. Goaltending is about angling and positioning now days. You guys think has is good because he has fast hands and legs. He always had to make up for his horrible angling/positioning and make a big glove save. When any other goalie would have made it look easy because it should have been.

Anyone that thought he was good just doesnt have a clue about hockey. Most of you guys really know nothing about the sport your just casual hockey fans. Just because you go to hockey forums doesnt make you a hardcore fan. Now im going to here omg did you see his stats!122345 Yes i have and do you realize any goalie playing for the Detroit Red Wings will have them kind of stats?

Huh? I think a simple "no" would have done the trick.

Hasek had his own unique style that made him successful throughout his career. To ask him to change how he played that made him get so successful in winning 6 Vezinas etc. is a difficult request to do.

And just because people might have thought he still had his good moments these last few years doesn't make them idiots or that they know nothing about hockey. You don't or didn't like him the past few years. That's fine, nobody will get on your grill for that. Getting on the cases of other fans/members though just because they don't share in the absolute loathing that you do, that ain't right.
