Love the trade trees!! Thank you for another good one.
Dryden was 258 wins 57 loss 74 ties in 389 games. Losing 57 out of 389 is 14.6% of all games played.
So if you had Dryden in nets in the 70's, you had a 85.6% chance of not losing and a 66.3% chances of winning. Just amazing.
For reference : if you had Hasek in nets, you had a 69.9% chance of not losing (223 loss in 735 games)
if you had Brodeur in nets, you had a 68.7% chance of not losing (397 loss in 1266 games)
I absolutely love this series… one of my greatest regrets in life is inviting a troubled friend to move in as a roommate in hopes I could help clean him up. That didn’t happen, he drug me down and in the process kind of destroyed my love for this game. Hockey was out thing, I was a massive fan that read everything, watched everything… hockey was 80/90% of my free time. Because of that relationship and me trying to separate me from that life, hockey became a casualty… I don’t get a deep into it as I once did and that’s sad.
So watching these? Takes me back to the walking encyclopedia years… in fact, when you first downplayed Daze I was like “man, in his day he was expected to be a very big deal…” but you caught that anyway lol. Keep up the great work on these… lots of memories and lots of fun
Crazy story about Hasek, the Sabres left him unprotected in the 1993 expansion draft to protect Grant Fuhr. The Panthers or Ducks could have taken him for free and both passed on him. His breakout really must have come out of no where.
I love the Trade Trees. This one was fascinating.
Hasek was the ultimate "late bloomer" The older he got the better he was
Didn't it feel funny or off saying 13,308 games played haha
When you were rattling off all the stuff Hasek won with Buffalo I was grinning ear to ear!!!
Poo
Hasek’s style flowed from the two pad stack. It’s the most effective move a goalie has in one-on-one situations or when he has to cover a great distance laterally.
He used it against 3/5 shooters vs Canada in 1998.
Somehow, nobody has figured this out in the 20 years since Hasek’s peak.
Atlanta actually won that Kozlov deal with Buffalo, he was the face of there Franchise before Kovi and Hossa took over and after Hossa and Kovi left Kozlov continued to put up incredible statistical marks considering he was in his late 30s.
ERIC DAZE MATTERS DAMMIT. He wasn’t terrible
The Sabres had a guy named Ruutu too. What was his first name? Sure, I could google it, but let’s see if you reply.
You should check out the trade that sent Teemu Selanne from Anaheim to San José. It eventually led to the Ducks acquire Corey Perry and Rob Niedermayer
As a lifelong Sabers fan since their inception I want to thank the Chicago Blackhawks for trading the Dominator to Buffalo. He would go on to surpass my childhood hero Gilbert Perreault as my favourite Buffalo Saber of all time. The fact that in front of Hasek the Sabers were not even a playoff team made watching just about every Sabers game edge of your seat nail-biting hair pulling excitement. The Sabers would get outshot 40 something to 20 something and win 2-1. When they went to the cup finals they had Hasek to thank because without him they wouldn't have even beat the Toronto Maple Leafs. Great trade by Sabers management to land Hasek. Pathetic job by Sabers management of putting together a good team in front of him. I wonder how many of his wins came in games the Sabers were outshot. All of them? He gets my vote as best Saber of all time, most exciting Saber of all time and not just best Sabers goalie but best goalie period of all time. I think the fact the Sabers were so pathetic in front of him made him even so much more fun to watch. I suspect if he had played for the New Jersey Devils and seen only 5 shots per period he would not have been nearly as exciting or effective as he was in Buffalo where he was seemingly always under a constant barrage of pucks.
A pile of on for notes, Hasek didn't make his debut in the NHL for 8ish years because he was stuck behind the Iron Curtain. Being stuck behind the Iron Curtain is worth mentioning as while in the Czech League (1980 as a 16yr old through 1990) he won two league titles, MVP of league 3 times, Goaltender of Year four consecutive times). Despite being the Czech league, it shows he has the ability to play. He wasn't just some guy as is implied by not mentioning he was stuck behind the Iron Curtain.
Greatest goalie of all time Hasek was born to be a goalie. Excellent analysis really enjoyed the video.
Mike Richards trade tree please
The fact that Ed Belfour ended up beating Hasek and his Sabres, but not with the Blackhawks, in the Stanley Cup Finals is such an interesting part of the trade. Until those Red Wings Cups, Belfour technically had more success even though Hasek was far and above the better goalie.
I went to an event that included a Q&A with Teemu Selanne and someone asked him who the toughest goalie to play against was. His answer: Hasek, because "he had no style." With other goalies, you could at least make an educated guess as to what they might do in a certain situation because their style dictated certain tendencies. With Hasek, you had no idea if he was going to stack the pads, poke check you, stay on his feet, or flop like he got shot, and no matter what he did he almost always stopped the puck.
With the game being so immensely skilled, highly-optimized, and meticulously calculated like it is now, I think it's safe to say we'll never see anyone like Hasek again. Truly a special player.
what a waste of time to watch these videos
And then the irony that Belfour wins his only cup against Hasek thanks to that Brett Hull goal.
Dominik Hasek was playing in the CSSSR when he was drafted to the NHL. He played in the CSSSR form 1980 to 1989. It was Indianapolis Ice that he played for in the IHL in the 1990-1991 season. He played a handful of games during that same season in the NHL. 1991-1992 season, he split his time between the Blackhawks and the Ice. He was 23 when he made his NHL debut. Lots of people make their NHL debuts well into their twenties. Some don't even get that far. 23 is not old.
Connie Madigan has the record for the oldest NHL debut. He was 38 when he debuted for St. Louis in January 1973. It was because of injuries that season that led to Madigan being brought up to the NHL.
Going back to Hasek. If he wasn't traded, we might not have seen the greatness that became of him. There is nobody who who used the ice, the net, and his body like he did. We will never see someone like that again.
Fun fact the Thrashers ended the 5 game (nhl record) shutout streak in Phoenix
Tbh I only knew Daze from my favourite NHL video game: NHL 2004. He was actually on team Canada in that game.
suprized he never mentioned belfour as the goalie that beat hasek in the 99 final
Pretty sure the Sabres traded Ruuttu to the Jets for Beauregard too
Why was this edited by a 16 year old Fortnite player
George hainworth?
Hasek + logic = computing error
Sounds like you are a Hasek fan
It’s really too bad Hasek didn’t win a cup in Buffalo. It would’ve been a great story taking a team that had no business whatsoever even being there and then winning it all by himself. I mean Sabres fans will complain about Brett Hull’s foot in the crease but in reality they shouldn’t have even been in the final. At least he won a cup in Detroit he definitely deserved it but he was a goalie who if he played on good teams other then the short time with the Wings he probably could’ve won like ten.
Do jussi jokinen and brad Richards trade
As a Hawks fan… Daze and Amonte were the 2 stars when I first started paying attention to hockey and he was really good, but a huge amount of injuries. Old man Wirtz broke that early 90s and screwed the Hawks over until the very late 2000s.
Question is, what happens if Chicago never traded Hasek. Does he stay backup? Does he have a legendary career at all?
why u keep yelling?
Absolute tragedy Buffalo couldn't win a cup with Hasek.
About this trade. I think Ruuttu is the most underrated Finnish player ever. Him or skriko. I just remember hating Ruuttu for his shenanigans while playing for Hifk in the 94-95 lockout season.

His nickname would be bacon he just flopped around and would be brutal bad against the slap pass.he would be on his back flopping around even back in his prime all the teams I played at 12 years old thought we could light him up
Nope he wasn't
Don't be blind
I sure am old because I do remember Eric Daze.
what's the point of this video? The Sabres got lucky neither team knew Hasek would turn out to be the best goalie of all time. Buffalo got him in 1992 and Hasek really didn't do anything till 4 years after. In fact Buffalo drafted Martin Biron in 1996 with a 1st rd pick. Maybe GM John Muckler was a genious and knew what he had in Hasek. He fleeced the Kings too and got Zhitnik for a bag of pucks and sold Mogilny high and acquired Peca who at the time everyone thought that was a joke of a trade. The Hasek, Peca, Zhitnik trifecta almost won us a cup.
Keep in mind a couple of things, on why Hasek was traded.
1. He didn't play his first North American game until AFTER the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1989.
2. The Blackhawks had a 3-headed monster with Belfour, Hasek, and more recently drafted, Jimmy Waite (Rd 1 Pk 8, 1987). Not knowing of those 3, one would become The Diminator, or that Czechoslovakia would split, they chose to err on the side of reason, and keep the younger, higher drafted Waite.
3. And probably the most likely reason….the Hawks head coach Mike Keenan. Who consequently was the coach for Team Canada in the 1987 Canada Cup. That said, he probably began to develop his opinion of Hasek's ability during that tournament.
