Ellis Competes Against The Best

from John Glennon at Chilling Out at the Tennessean,

...But the Wings were sunk in Game 4 due in part to the poor goaltending of Dominik Hasek, a six-time Vezina Trophy winner. And Detroit coach Mike Babcock just announced that Chris Osgood will replace Hasek for Game 5.

Maybe we shouldn’t be surprised at this.

After all, Ellis outplayed Vancouver goalie Roberto Luongo down the stretch, as the Predators battled the Canucks for the final Western Conference playoff spot.

What’s another all-star to knock off at this point?

It’s unfair to compare them. Hasek has been playing for nearly 30 years. He had his good days in the 90s. But yeah it’s time to hang’em up now, the mind is there, but the body won’t respond efficiently enough.
