The Jokeman Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 A damn shame the Sabres couldn't win a Cup with him. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinceThe70s Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 7 minutes ago, The Jokeman said: A damn shame the Sabres couldn't win a Cup with him. He is one of many top shelf players whose rep took a hit until they won a championship. Reminds me of Elway. Both were arguably better players in the years before they won it all.

IslandBillsFan Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I loved Hasek. However, I just never understood why players didn't always try to go top shelf on him. He seemed to always go down to the butterfly position and then start flopping around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s called Game Changing and it earns professional athletes a Bust in a Hall of Fame. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Fan Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I'm not a big hockey fan but was 1994 one of the best years ever for the playoffs? This Sabres/Devils series which went to 7 games and showcased possibly the best goalie performance ever in a game by Hasek The ECF with the Devils/Rangers Series going to the 7th game overtime. The 1994 finals with the Rangers/Canucks going to the 7th game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's No Moon Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 A much younger me was at that game with a buddy from high school. I was not yet able to drive at night so my Dad dropped me off earlier in the evening and then returned close to the end of the 3rd period to pick me up. He then waited outside from the end of the 3rd period until the end of the game. According to him, he got fed up, left the car, walked past the now unattended turnstiles, and was on his way up to the orange level to pull me out by my ear when Hannan scored the winner. Ahhhh the days before ubiquitous cell phones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetermansRedemption Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Absolutely criminal they couldn’t field a cup winning roster in the Hasek era. Best goalie in NHL history and I’ll never be convinced otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasons1992 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I watched this entire game. Goal came at 1:52am the next day. I had to stand for the last 1.5 hours just to stay awake. Also, Hasek's performance for the Czech team in 1998 was truly remarkable. The save he made on Lindross.....just filthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody always talks about the 4 Super Bowl losses but I still say the most underrated What If In Buffalo Sports history is the Sabres not being able to put enough talent around Hasek to win a Cup. Imagine Hasek in his prime behind the net for a team like the 05-06 Sabres 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
