History of Hockey
People's thoughts on Frank Frederickson? Having a hard time trying to place him. His NHL career was kinda yuck, but his PCHA was kinda yeah baby.
WHC 1987
Dominik Hašek: 9 games / 19 goals allowed / 228 saves / 2.19 GAA / 0.9231
Evgeny Belosheikin: 10 games / 15 goals allowed / 179 saves / 1.50 GAA / 0.9227

Pre-NHL Hasek had, on average, better SV% than other goalies with the exception of the Soviet ones. It was widely recognized that Soviet teams in 80s were so much ahead of the rest that their goalies were posting the best tournament´ SV%. Yet, except for Tretiak (and Myshkin in CC 1984, Irbe in 1990), Soviet goalies did not play any role in the All-star voting. They were not even a 2nd all-star teamers despite having highest SV% going on for them.
I´ve already said there is no excuse for weak performance. However, 1991 - time where Czechoslovakia was in a political turmoil, country was splitting into two parts, transforming into democratic society. Situation in hockey - players were flying away in masses, not necesarilly to the NHL but also to Finland, Germany, Sweden etc. Pre-1990 hockey developing programs were interrupted or stopped. Team itself was one of the weakest CSSR team of all-time and it was well known at the time. A lot of strong talents (future longtime NHLers) + older players from previous weak late 80s generation that were supposed to carry the team, yet some of them were basically career czech extraleaguers. Anyway, my point was that CSSR team as a whole did not focuse or prepare very much on this "best-on-best" tournament. I don´t know how Hasek personally prepared for the tournament, or how much he seriously he viewed the tournament, but his team did not. Hence, Hasek´s pre-1990 performances in other championships are more illustrating of his level of play.
OK, I think we´re in agreement then. The way I see it, one extreme is to reject everything Hasek did before 1990, the other extreme is to call him best goalie in the world year in year out before he arrived to Chicago. So that leaves us with plenty of room to view and interpret Hasek´s pre-NHL accomplishments. As far as my view on it is, I just can´t see Hasek as not at least one of the top 10 best goalies in the world between 1986-1990. He was considered right there with green unit members as one of the top players in Europe - at least in a couple of seasons. That´s something to keep in mind.
I´ll come back tomorrow with summary of Hasek pre-NHL career - listing his domestic and international SV% and various award votings each season.
Except Hasek’s desire to win and improve are the stuff of legend.wilt and russell. statistical and physical unicorn who is kinda flaky vs the boldest cockiest leaderiest puke before games competitive only cares about winning dude there is.
Nighbor, Seibert, Clapper, Boucher, Geoffrion, Hall, Makarov...
If any of those ain't in your top-100 then the list ought to be thrown out!
Except Hasek’s desire to win and improve are the stuff of legend.
Keeping as many Czechs as would stay, as late as they would stay, taking breakaways on him pre-tourney, in case a game should go to shootout, going after a goon (cant remember) for scoring on him in practice, staying late with anyone who would take shots on him practice after practice, punishing himself by sleeping on his blocker on the floor of the changeroom agter having a bad game, playing professionally from 15-47 years old.... the guy wanted to win. Hell, most wont, but i even credit him for not causing a ruckus and letting Osgood take over in 08 when it was clear that he no longer had enough in him. You can view that one as a negative in terms of wanting to win, but i dont. Roy wouldve had a meltdown that may have affected the team, because, as much of a winner as he was, it was about him winning far before any of his teams.
i know you guys are big on details, so, if i get called out on this i will have to respond with sources, but i spent a day reading abou how Rucinsky and Jagr and the rest felt about their chances in 98, and the gist was “we arent as good as a number of teams, but we have Dom and we know we can beat anyone.”
...And now we have posts that amounts to pure speculation about what players from the past might have done.
Leo?

award ceased to exist
A modern player that I didn't really give a lot of thought to, but who's case I am re-examining, is Marian Hossa. There were very few holes in either his skillset or his career resume. Strong skater, great shot, positionally sound...a 200 foot player...strong contributor on three Cup winners and two other finalists.
Hossa didn't seem to get much credit for his great defensive play from Selke voters of this era, who seem to overwhelmingly favour centermen. Therefore Toews was the one racking up Selke votes on the Blackhawks. But I wonder if Hossa doesn't win a couple if voting trends followed the same pattern that favoured Jere Lehtinen over Mike Modano on the Stars in the previous generation. On one hand, Hossa didn't seem to get lauded for his defensive play until teamed with Toews...but on the other hand, Toews had the first minus season of his career and Chicago fell apart right when Hossa left the scene (bad goaltending factor has to be considered though).
I have John Bucyk and Yvon Cournoyer in the latter portion of my list. Part of me wonders if Hossa doesn't deserve to be listed right alongside those players. (Or perhaps I've ranked them too high in the first place)

not Czech. a sabre.Would like to know who the Czech goon was?
... uh? I don't know if you're being sarcastic, but Clapper sticks out like a sore thumb in this group.
Why is that?
Pushed, Nighbor, Hap Holmes, Kelly, Syd Howe,Kennedy, Armstrong, Pulford,Brodeur, the O6 and other goalies who did not run from tough starts.
Critical of Lafleur, Price.
People's thoughts on Frank Frederickson? Having a hard time trying to place him. His NHL career was kinda yuck, but his PCHA was kinda yeah baby.
Goddamnit, who cares about Hasek's 1991 Canada Cup? You can find holes in every legend's resume, from Lemieux to Jagr, from Hull to Lafleur! Dom's holes are not bigger than any of these.

Definitely interesting and worth more study. Domestic league numbers tend below Hasek' s NHL numbers.
Internationally. Understand the impact of the Soviet Machine but the impact should be the same on goalies from second and third tier countries-Ridderwall. So it is what it is.
To move the needle domestic scheduling has to be looked at.
