How old is he already? He's always hurt also. I wouldn't have gone in this direction if I was the Wings.

40. This is his third stint withe the red wings.
This is nuts. I'm not saying he wasn't great. I'm just saying he isn't now, and he is injury prone big time.
Nuts. Should have signed legace. the eternal mystery.

You naysayers...let the 40 yearold have his last days of glory...I think Hasek still has it in him...might not have more than one year, but I give him the benefit of the doubt till he proves me wrong. ....Go Hasek...(This has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I have some nice Hasek cards on e-bay, and I am about to add some with his wing Jersey...nothing at all!...well...okay, so yeah, I am in it for the money...so sue me... )

That's the only way i'd have any respect for you, if you did think this was a good idea. Taking bets right now - he doesn't have a season left in him.

Bet you a whole $1 payable through Paypal that he has one great season left...+30 wins, under 2.20 GAA, and +8 SHO

I think he could get 8 SO - but you are on.

Fine 10 SO!..I am Mr. Vegas...I will go against the odds...

[blueandwhite]

so correct my previous note - he is 41.
Funniest line in today's article about it is when the reporter writes in the Toronto star that,
"Both sides know they'll have to carefully manage his groin problems..."
So that's why he picked Detroit. Sounds like a body rub to me.
Hasek says he was taken by surprise by all this. Article also mentions that, the way the Wings have budgeted, they still have room for a forward now and a possible goalie before trade deadline ie when Hasek falls to the ice and can't get up.
Legace is being blamed for being out in the first round to Edmonton (who were ON FIRE) even though he had a 37-8-3 record last season with a 2.10 goals against.

What is going on in Detroit? Why isn't somebody jumping all over Legace?

[blueandwhite]

it's that 'let's find a patsy, get rid of him and bring morale back up' theory. Like the whole Kennedy/Oswald thing.
There's no way Legace lost it for them. Maybe some of their old guys contributed as well. I know they were shocked to be out in the first round, but crap - they were playing Edmonton.
I'm going to make up some t-shirts: LEGACE CAN MIND MY NET.
Or something like that.
