We've won zero cups with any of the greats, doesn't diminish what they did in their time here.

Love him or hate him, he was the Sabres for a decade.

Hasek was for Hasek, I can care less about him.

I would think that there's a lot of frustration toward his entire situation that led up to that wall kicking incident. When you have a disease like MS, it's just as hard on you mentally as it is physically.

It's a shame. He really seemed like he was going to get his shot at being the guy and then had the bad knee injury in preseason that kept him out all year. That next summer he was diagnosed with MS and it's been a struggle for him to stay healthy.

I would agree but he booted the wall following an altercation with a teammate.

Since the injury wasn't hockey related, he has been suspended without pay.

As we all know how you feel.


Doesn't change what he did as a player.

Regardless of your opinion, he's going into the Hockey Hall of Fame as one of the all time greats..

If it were the He Was a Nice Guy to All Hall of Fame, you'd have more merit.

I'm not trying to say what he did was right, but he's had a rough ride the last few years. I'm sure he's angry about his entire situation and it continued to build up until it finally boiled over during that altercation.

I know someone that has MS. It took almost 2 years for them to even figure out what was wrong with her. In the meantime, she was really frustrated because nobody had any answers for her. Once they figured it out, it took quite a while to get the medication right so that she actually felt like herself again. She still has good days and bad days. Last I checked, she wasn't working because there's times her medication isn't working as it should and her doctors won't let her drive or do anything like that. She's lucky enough that her husband is one of the most supportive people I've ever met. He'd do anything for her.

People can glorify him all they want, I'm not. Good for him and the hall, I can care less. You have your opinon and I have mine.

We all have times in our life like that, how we handle it defines us.

No doubt he was a total dikkhead and I was pissed as anyone when he left and how he left but my stance has softened a little. Only in regard to his abilities.

I can't take anything away from him. He was great.

Was he a egotistical douche bag in life and attitude?

Yes no question about it. Something we all know as fans to be true but that isn't the issue.

Like I said if he were going into the Hall of Fame of Great Humans your opinion would have more merit. He isn't though. He's going into the Hall of Fame for what he did on the ice. Something that guys are in there for and won zero cups while they played just like Dom. Doesn't change what they did.

Again being an egotistical douche bag has zero to do with it. If it did, no one would be in there or very few guys.

You blowing this way out of context, you like him and I don't. I don't take anything away from him but I can care less. Merit has nothing to do with it.

wienerhead? Yes.


Greatest goalie of all-time? Yes.

The cream of the crop guys usually do have a huge ego. It's part of how they got where they were in the first place.

Big time players often have big time personalities. It's a franchise's ability to handle them that often makes it great. Both Buffalo franchises have struggled with this as of late.

Funny thing about taking a swing at someone.


They generally hit back.

The way both Nolan and Murray are talking, Zadorov appears to be staying put:
