This goalie's unorthodox style set a new standard in the NHL

Looking back at the career of Dominik Hasek.

If any doubts lingered about Hasek's dominance after he established himself with the Buffalo Sabres, his remarkable showing for the Czech Republic at the 1998 Olympics quashed them all.

 In what he deems his crowning athletic achievement, Hasek propelled the Czechs to gold, boasting a 0.97 GAA and a .961 save percentage.

  He conceded just two goals in the Czech's final three games against hockey powerhouses the United States, Canada and Russia.

In the semi-final shootout against Canada, Hasek out-dueled Patrick Roy, denying Theo Fleury, Ray Bourque, Joe Nieuwendyk, Eric Lindros and Brendan Shanahan in succession.

 At a spirited rally in Old Town Square, a throng of 70,000 Czechs erupted into chants of "Hasek to the Castle!"
