Hasek's legacy with red wings?

Question

if the red wings win the stanley cup will dominik hasek get any credit? will it add to his legacy or hurt it?

Answer 1

He'll get credit for it.   Even though Ozzie has been stellar in goal, Hasek played during the regular season, which contributed to the Wings being in the finals right now.   It's just that because Ozzie is on such a great winning streak [knocks on wood], there's no reason to pull him.  It would be foolish to pull a hot goalie at this point.  I can honestly see him retiring again once his contract is up though so I don't think it matters what happens at this point.  He's still going to go out as one of the greatest goalies in NHL history.

Answer 2

10 years from now, Detroit fans will still say 'Hasek helped us win the Cup in 2002' and Buffalo fans will still say 'We were robbed in 1999' and both fan bases would be right. Hasek's legacy isn't tarnished. He will still be remembered as one of the best goalies of all time.

Answer 3

His legacy is kind of tarnished in the short term with his inconsistancies and injuries, but the last few years will probably be forgotten years after he retires.  He'll be remembered for the 2002 cup and everything before that.

Answer 4

Looking back 10 years from now, everyone will go "Hasek? What did he do for that 2007-2008 Red Wings team?"

Osgood was the better goalie in the regular season as well as these playoffs...Hasek is washed up, he needs to retire already!

Answer 5

Hasek didn't do diddlypoo this year. Osgood was better throughout the year. h**l he started the All Star game. And Hasek almost got the Wings knocked out in the first round, I think if Babcock stuck with him that's what would have happened. He deserves no credit this year. As far as his legacy goes, I've hated him since he decided to unretire in '03-'04, and really s******g over Curtis Joseph (who handled it all with class BTW) And ever since then it's been nothing but injury problems, what an a$$hole.

Answer 6

hasek just plain sucks!!!! he hasnt been any good for the past 3 years  oh wait he just pulled his groin again, d**n

Answer 7

hey, sabres082; ... But the question is "how did Hasek manage to pull his groin with Ted Nolan's wife" ?

hahaha

too much touchy-feely in bed.
