But who was Hasek?

You don't think Hasek knew what he was doing? Yeah he just flopped around and got lucky.

So you're saying the flopping technique was sound technical ability?

I predict Rask takes a step back. Shooters figure guys out when all they do is go down and make the same save every time, Rask is good at the reaction as well, but over time his nuns will decline IMO...

No but he knew what he was doing, from the outside looking at it he's flopping around but he knew what he was doing at all, you don't get that consistent by luck.

Hiller is the go down and block type, and guys figured him out, it's a matter of time if thats the only tool in a guys repertoire...

Yeah his almost year off from vertigo had nothing to do with his decline. Majority of NHLers play similar style, so that means they ve all been figured out as well.

Because you don't see guys that can contort and are as flexible as he was. You wouldn't be able to teach it to guys unless you know they are going to be a human elastic.
