And Hašek was already "too old" back then. 37! Then wins it again with Det as 43 years old. And then in 2011 leads the KHL in shutouts. Lol
Roy had a limp by that age, that's how freak of a goalie Hasek was. It's like peak Thomas with Quick's explosiveness and flexibility plus throw in health of Gordie Howe for good measure. Hes like polar opposite of technically perfect Nauvirth lol.

Nothing about Hasek made sense. Nothing. He was a freak person.

Past GOAT goalie peaks typically last one or two years. Maintaining a peak Parent/Thomas level of play for more than that isn't a thing. Hasek casually did it for years on end.
I wonder if he had a crazy personality to go with that as well. You know like cechmanek or mr universe himself.

i remember Barnaby on the spittin chiclets podcast said him & most of his teammates didn’t really like Hasek personally. Nothing really to do with hockey. He admitted Hasek really elevated their teams in Buffalo to make up for the lack of sum parts there compared to other teams. I think he said he was the best goalie to ever play too.

He didn’t really go into it but essentially just said Hasek was a weird dude who wasn’t easy to get along with away from hockey.

Tbf it's quite unusual for 6 year olds to develop sarcasm.

In Charlie O’s latest, he mentions that K’Andre Miller “possesses sky’s-the-limit upside.”


I liked this player in his draft year because I fell in love with his skating and athletic ability. The overall toolbox isn’t there though...

He's becoming more and more out of touch. Miller is good and should have been Hextall's pick with our 2nd 1st in 2018, but "sky's the limit upside?" f*** outta here.

Who’s watched more draft prospects this year: you or Charlie? Need thoughts in the draft thread, Ted!

Charlie wanted to trade Shattenkirk for Sanheim a few years ago. Right before he hit UFA.
Shattenkirk pp specialist would be a total disaster with Jeff. Probably end up being paired with Hagg to balance the pairing. Similar to Mandog Gudas.

Brandt Clarke = Great
Scott Morrow = Potentially Great
Owen Power = skeptical about his impact at the NHL level


Them’s my 2021 Draft thoughts. I know f*** about shit about this draft. Changing work dynamics (now working in-person instead of working from home) has greatly limited my ability to watch draft eligible prospects.
