‘To me, watching Hasek play was always a special experience. As far as the interviews go, one of the few times I was ever nervous before interviewing an athlete was when I had a one on one sit down with Hasek during my days at Empire Sports Network. I went over the list of questions time and time again to make sure I had the most interesting ones, to make sure it wasn’t just another run of the mill interview. As I sat there, I couldn’t help but think to myself that I’m interviewing one of the greatest players at his position in the history of the National Hockey League and a guy who had such a radical approach to playing goaltender that coaches would tell their goalies not to try and do what Hasek was doing.’
