DOMINIK HASEK RUMORS

Cabernets and Goalies—both improve with age?

It’s the Stanley Cup Finals, and the goalie mot talked abut is…. Dominik Hasek! Hasek wants to make a return to the NHL, and he’s purportedly talking to at least two (depending on who’s reporting, pick two of three: Detroit, Buffalo and Tampa Bay) teams about mounting his comeback. There’s been a lot of talk about how goalies have started to last...

Could Dominik Hasek hack it as a 47-year-old NHL back-up? Probably…

Realistically speaking, it’s hard to believe that any NHL team will take a chance on Dominik Hasek, whose desire to return to the NHL at the age of 47 runs into complications given that he hasn’t played in the NHL in 3 years and hasn’t played hockey at all since the 2010-2011 season. The Czech press is more or less indulging Hasek’s desire to “go out...

An Unlikely Return

So I caught whispers of a rumor that Jan Mursak may be changing his number next season. In fact, it may be for the same reason that Johan Franzen changed his number from 39 to 93 after his rookie season in 2005-2006.The return of Dominik Hasek.I wouldn't post such a ridiculous notion unless there was a news source to back it up. The Dominator, according to the Midland Free...

Dominik Hasek Interested in NHL Comeback at Age 47

Maybe Martin Brodeur's old-age heroics in leading the New Jersey Devils to the Stanley Cup Finals has given Dominik Hasek a new sense of worth. The 47-year-old Czech goaltender isn't quite ready to say goodbye to the game he loves, telling Denik Sport that he is working hard to make a comback to professional hockey. Hasek has been in and out of retirement for the last 13...

Red Wings overnight report: milking Hasek’s return story and a tough way for Jurco to go

The reaction to the news that Dominik Hasek is at least entertaining the idea of attempting an NHL comeback received varying reactions on Friday, but the vast majority of them involved statements similar to the following: “He’s 47 years old, he didn’t play at all last season, and he played the previous two seasons in the Czech Republic and Russia, respectively....

Yes, Dominik Hasek is indeed planning another comeback

I mentioned this in passing while penning the overnight report because I thought it was amusing, but gauging by the retweets from RedWingsFeed and a story just posted by CBS Detroit, I’m guessing that the story merits its own entry: Former Red Wings goalie Dominik Hasek did indeed tell iSport.cz that he’s interested in playing in trying to make one more NHL comeback...

Top Hockey Goaltenders of All Time

Former Vancouver Canucks goaltender Kirk McLean once said, "It's pretty tough for a goalie when you look at it. You're always the last line of defense. If you let a goal in, you can't go to the bench and hide between the guys or anything." While goaltending alone does not win games or championships, but it can be the difference between a win and an embarrassing...

GARTH: The King Playing In Rarified Hasek Air

In 1996-97, Dominik Hasek played the entire season while standing on his head. Literally. Hasek played arguably the best season of any other goalie in the long and distinguished history of the NHL. Hasek won 37 games that season against 20 losses. Add in 10 ties for good measure as there were no skills competitions back then to determine tie breakers in the regular season. Hasek...
