At the age of 46, Dominik Hasek was still playing hockey. Vincent Valentine Jersey . He put on his goalie pads for the final time Feb. 27, 2011 in the KHL. At the age of 49, "the Dominator" is expected to be part of the class of 2014 at the Hockey Hall of Fame, which will be announced this afternoon on TSN2 at 3pm et/Noon pt. Though nothing is guaranteed, the six-time Vezina Trophy-winner should be a lock. "For me its a no-brainer," former Buffalo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said earlier this year. Hasek won one Stanley Cup as a starter with the Detroit Red Wings in 2002, then split time with Chris Osgood and became the backup in the playoffs for the 2008 title. He came close to the Cup in 1999 with Buffalo, only to be beaten by the Dallas Stars on Brett Hulls foot-in-the-crease overtime goal. Haseks best years came with the Sabres, when he had seven straight seasons with a save percentage of .930 or higher. He finished with 234 career regular-season victories in Buffalo and 389 over his 16-year NHL career. Veteran goaltender Tomas Vokoun "knew all along" Hasek would be great from watching him play in their native Czech Republic. "It took him a little bit just because of his style and all that to convince people here," Vokoun said in a phone interview. "I definitely consider him, if hes not the best, one of the top three to ever play. ... He definitely deserves to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer." Swedish centre Peter Forsberg is also expected to get the call to the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. American-born centre Mike Modano leads the other new candidates and is the most likely to be inducted, ahead of three-time Cup-winner and first-ballot dark horse Mark Recchi. Forsberg, who began his career with the Quebec Nordiques following the blockbuster Eric Lindros trade with the Philadelphia Flyers, went on to win two Cups with the Colorado Avalanche. He finished with 885 points in 708 regular-season games as his career was cut short by foot injuries. With 1,374 points over 21 seasons, Modano became the most prolific American-born scorer in NHL history. Late coach Pat Burns remains a candidate in the "builder" category, a year after Fred Shero was posthumously elected 38 years after leading the Flyers to back-to-back Cups. Burns, a three-time Jack Adams Award winner as coach of the year, died in November 2010 at the age of 58. This is the first year John Davidson is serving as chairman of the Hockey Hall of Fame selection committee, replacing Jim Gregory. Bobby Clarke, David Poile and Luc Robitaille were appointed to the committee for the first time. Clarkes addition raised the question of whether Lindros would stand a better chance of being elected. Despite a contentious relationship with the Lindros family, the longtime Flyers general manager is considered a proponent of his Hall of Fame case. Lindros has similar numbers to Forsberg — 865 points in 760 games over 13 seasons — and won the Hart Trophy as league MVP in 1994-95. The three-time Canadian Olympian and world junior standouts resume isnt as Hall of Fame-worthy as Haseks. The goaltender is all but certain to be inducted Nov. 10. "I appreciate it, its very nice to be among all these big players," Hasek said recently when asked about impeding election to the Hall of Fame. "I appreciate to be one day, maybe, in the Hockey Hall of Fame, however ... it was never my goal when I was playing hockey." Malcolm Butler Jersey .J. -- Patrick Sharp is on one of those streaks. Dwayne Allen Jersey .A. Happ? Happs seven wins are second on the staff to Mark Buehrles 10. Win-loss record is an antiquated stat, sure, but win total is generally an indication of a pitchers ability to work deep into games, enough to be personally affected by the result. http://www.patriotsjerseysauthentic.com/Cameron-Fleming-Super-Bowl-Jersey/ . - The Detroit Lions have 13 takeaways this season — three less than all of last season — and the defence isnt the only unit pleased with the performance.Dylan Chanter has watched the video which graphically shows his unconscious body convulsing after smashing his head on the ice during a fight on Saturday in a USHL game between the Dubuque Fighting Saints and Cedar Rapids RoughRiders. "I couldnt believe it was me," Chanter told The Dreger Report. "I dont think it was as bad as the video looks." Understandably, Chanters memory of the incident is sketchy. He says he remembers the initial stages of the tilt, but little else. "I remember being strapped into the CT scan, really confused and thinking the hospital was part of the arena," he said. "My trainer said I was unconscious for two to three minutes." Remarkably, Chanter is doing very well and says aside from some fatigue he feels normal and strong enough to get on a stationaary bike later this week. Rex Burkhead Jersey. . But until he sees a neurologist (next Wednesday), he wont be able to predict a full return to the Fighting Saints lineup. Chanter says this is his second concussion. His first suffered as a 16-year-old while playing in the BCHL with the Merritt Centennials and recalls the post-concussion symptoms then being far worse. Now 18, he appreciates the interest this incident has generated, but, sees it as a "freak accident" and says he doesnt intend on changing his style. "This is not going to stop me from fighting again," Chanter concluded. The 63 defenceman who has committed to the NCAAs University of New Hampshire Wildcats was playing in just his second game of the season after returning from a broken collarbone suffered in the preseason.
