    Screw 90’s and 00’s, he’s probably the best of all time.

    It didn’t make sense visually how good he was. For the uninitiated, it just looks like he’s flopping around but he saved like….everything. We’ll never see another one like him

    He’s one of the best of all time. He did shit NOBODY else could do.

  4. CleaveIshallnot

    He was so unorthodox & so good – at simply not letting pucks cross that goal line. There isn’t a metric that is applicable.
    He might have a game end in a tie we’re both goalies stopped 30 “shots”. But the shots he stopped. Just had no business being stopped a lot of times.

    Happy birthday to the Dominator! Was so fun to watch.

    It somehow feels insulting to call him “one of the best”

    I had no skin in the game, except that I always watch the SC finals, but staying up for that final cup game in ’99 was pure insanity. Shit I think it ended at like 2am and Hasek was standing on his head all night trying to keep the Sabres alive. Despite losing, it was one of the most lionhearted individual efforts I’d ever seen up to that point.

    People will hate this, but saying he was top 10 but not GOAT doesn’t diminish him at all.

    Hasek was of a skill level where he could shoulder the outcome of a Championship team.

    He was so mesmerizing to watch, an absolute legend

  11. SpezEatsScat

    Of the 90s-00s?! Dudes a legend and all time great. Truly one of a kind.

    For my (admittedly biased) money he is the best. He doesn’t have the hardware or longevity that Brodeur or Roy have but by stats he is easily above everyone else.

  13. It can be argued that he may just be the best goalie to ever play.

    My personal opinion is that Roy is the best, but MAN…was Dominik Hasek the Dominator at his best!

    Happy Birthday, Hasek!

    Glad he came to Detroit.. Best of the best.

  15. riko77can

    He was absolutely incredible and equally implausible.

  16. intelligentx5

    “One of”….

    He’s the best goalie of all time AINEC

    The inspiration behind my son’s name!

    One of the best goalies…EVER. Not just the best of the 90s/early 00s.

    It’s rare when I watch a goalie highlight video. Hasek had to be the most “watchable” in history.

  20. Skyrim1982

    Flop and stop!!

    Don’t know how he did it but he did

  21. Scissors4215

    One of the best…. ever. His stretch with Buffalo was the greatest display of goaltending period.

  22. New_Faithlessness261

    Is there any goalie in history that would throw the puck up and whack it like his stick is a damn cricket bat. I could not find a video but I swear I remember him doing this a few times with the Sabres.
