The End Of The Dominator

from Ryan Dixon of the Hockey News,
For all the hardware Dominik Hasek is taking with him as he exits crease left, the one thing I wish he’d leave behind is his nickname.
In an era where made-up monikers rarely go beyond adding a few letters to a player’s last name, ‘The Dominator’ stood out as a truly original, apt handle.
Hasek could bend, baffle, distract and infuriate at every turn. But it was his ability to utterly dominate a game that defines his career.

Well said, Ryan Dixon.
Make no mistake, the Dominator was the real thing.
Thanks for the memories!

As far as accuracy goes, The Dominator pales in comparison to The Czech Miracle of Insanity (or CMOI). We’ll miss you, you crazy bastard!
