Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Dominik Hasek plays goal as if every game means winning the Stanley Cup. In practices he tells his teammates to shoot at his face because he believes his helmet-and-cage headgear is just another way to stop someone from scoring. When he's in the net, he's king of the crease. The few pucks that get by him are personal tragedies.
That's how he's won four Vezina Trophies as the best goaltender in the National Hockey League. That's why he's considered the finest netminder ever to play in Czechoslovakia, where he was born. That's how he led his country to an Olympic gold medal in 1998. And that's why many people call him the world's greatest goalie.
