Yeah. I also don't understand comments that Hasek played way too long. In 2007 he was great while playing for Detroit. Yes, 2008 he was very average, but still an NHL goalie without any doubt. Then he goes to play for his Czech team, totally shuts the door in the playoffs and wins the championship. After that he goes to the KHL and has more shutouts than any other goalie. Hasek was good until his very last game.
