Dominik Hasek. One of the greatest goaltenders of all time. Has announced his retirement. After getting pulled from round one of the 2008 Stanley Cup Playoffs and being replaced by Chris Osgood, a goalie not NEARLY of Hasek's calibur, Hasek has decided to call it quits. For the second time. But this time he means it. :/
The Dominator is easily my favorite goaltender of all time. His unorthodox style is effective, thrilling to watch, and one in which I learned how to play goalie from.
He has a career Save Percentage of .920 and a GAA of 2.20. These numbers are both better than those of goaltending legends, Patrick Roy and Martin Brodeur. Although Hasek has won less games than either of these, his winning percentage hovers right around both of them, at around 53%.
Good luck in retirement, Dom. This time don't get charges pressed against you for beating a guy up in a Czech Men's League.
