That was my guess.

Yup...

Im pretty sure Hasek was Ed Belfour's backup in the 1991-1992 season, which saw the Hawks advance to, and lose in the Stanley Cup Finals. Along with the Sabres in 1999 and the Wings in 2002, that would make 3 finals appearances, and teams.

Dont think it's Hasek.

Didn't have any connections to the AHL teams that I know of.

I feel like there is a major curveball here as usual.

3. Played under Joe Crozier in 79-80 with the New Brunswick Hawks and he was elected to the Manitoba Hall of Fame
