shadow47 1 Report post Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) Ex-NHLer Radovan Somik beat HC Vitkovice Steel goaltender Stepanek less than a minute into overtime to lift Eaton HC Pardubice, led by 45-year-old Dominik Hasek, to a sweep for the Czech Extraliga championship title. Hasek stopped a penalty shot with three minutes left in regulation to keep his teams deficit at 2-1 before former Oiler Ales Pisa tied the game with 80 seconds left. Dominik allowed only five goals in the four game series, including a pivotal 1-0 shutout in game 2. Pardubice set a new record by winning 12 straight games in the playoffs after losing the first game of the first round 3-1. Hasek tore his adductor muscle in the regular season and missed two months before returning to play every minute in the playoffs including several back to back night games. Pardubice finished second in league standing in the regular campaign, Hasek lowered his regular season GAA of 2.26 to 1.66 in the playoffs and stopped 94% of his shots faced . Dominik also won titles with Pardubice in 1987 and 1989. Edited April 22, 2010 by shadow47 1 swiss_fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shadow47 1 Report post Posted April 22, 2010 The question now is will Hasek, clearly at the top of his game, be invited to play at the World Championships after Vokoun's inactivity and the Czechs underwhelming Olympics? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Crymson Report post Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) I miss Hasek. Having him here was like a dream. I loved the Hasek/Osgood tandem. We had two excellent veteran, experienced, Stanley Cup-winning goaltenders who had nothing in the way of ego problems and got along fantastically. It was wonderful, and I think it could only have happened with this organization.

puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) I have been "watching" the entire tournament and all of his season, of course. I am incredibly proud of him. Eaton Pardubice Go here for full coverage. English translation available (google translate -- so it's kind of fun to figure out what the articles are saying) May I say: I am completely unsurprised by this win. Always the best, my Dom.

shadow47 1 Report post Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) Nice1 Loo. Did they show any of the games on that webcast link (was it hokej.cz.tv or something?) I gave you? I never made the effort to catch any...youtube is about as far as I go... p.s. I told you he'd dig out his old TPS pads, I took all the Brock bead tubes, remember? haha What a player, unreal.

Booster313 138 Report post Posted April 22, 2010 So excited for Dom, I was so looking forward to watching him play in the Olympics. :(I wish they would televise or at least stream his games. He is the greatest goalie or our era, no disrespect to Lou, Marty, or Pat. Now if only those jersey's weren't so damn ugly! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadow47 1 Report post Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) Linder I'm not sure D EVER got the girls, I mean he's been married to Alena for like 15 years or whatever it is, there WAS that '98 encounter where Linda Evangelista wanted to meet him at the Rangers game (per Sam Rosen, you know, when the Sabres played the Rangers and shut them out in like 6 of 7 games or something?!) but beyond that, I mean, Dom, not the typical ladies man (I mean, excluding YOU:>) Edited April 22, 2010 by shadow47 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
