At the age of 46, Dominik Hasek was still playing hockey. Fake Balenciaga 2020 . 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." Balenciaga Shoes Sale .

By then it was clear: The 76ers were going to win for the first time in two months, and they were going to do it with ease. The 76ers snapped their NBA record-tying, 26-game losing streak, routing the Detroit Pistons 123-98 on Saturday night to avoid establishing the longest skid in U.BOSTON - This series played the maximum number of games (five) possible without a team facing elimination. Now, with Game 6 set for Fenway Park and an 8:07 p.m. ET first pitch, the Detroit Tigers face the unenviable task of having to beat the Boston Red Sox twice, on the road, to advance to the World Series. Boston needs one win, either tonight or tomorrow, to punch its ticket to the big dance. Both clubs have made a habit of appearing in the World Series over the last decade. Boston has been twice, beating St. Louis in 2004 and Colorado in 2007. Detroit has been twice, too, but has lost on both occasions, to St. Louis in 2006 and to San Francisco in 2012. Four of the five games have been decided by one run and theres no reason to believe we wont continue to watch close games between the two best teams in the American League. GAME SIX PREVIEW: PITCHING MATCHUP: Tigers RHP Max Scherzer (Regular season: 21-3, 2.90, 0.970 WHIP; Playoffs: 3G/2GS: 2-0, 2.25, 0.875 WHIP in 16IP) Game 2 vs. Boston: ND, 7 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 2 BB, 13 K, 0.571 WHIP. Scherzer was dominant a week ago but exited the game after seven innings and 108 pitches. We all know what happened next (Tigers bullpen + Meltdown + David Ortiz grand slam + Jarrod Saltalmacchia walk off = Red Sox win.) When Tigers manager Jim Leyland was questioned for his decision to remove Scherzer, Scherzer came to his skippers defense saying he was "spent." As for a pitch count in Game 6, Scherzer offered this: "You know how your arm feels within the pitch count, when you reach 80 pitches, 90, 100, 110 pitches. But when you have a win or go home type game, youre going to pitch as long as you can physically execute pitches. I have to be smart enough to know when that limit is. That wont be a number. That will be something Ill be able to tell Skip when I have reached that limit." Detroit closer Joaquin Benoit, whos given up a run in each of his last two appearances in this series (Ortiz grand slam included,) says he isnt spooked by the Red Sox and remains confident in himself and the entire bullpen. "I think everybody has contributed and I think we going to be all right. I think we got a great group of guys and we have come in and out of tough situations pretty good." LINEUP CONSIDERATIONS: Miguel Cabrera, who in Game 5 made a base running mistake resulting in him being thrown out at home, committed a costly error at third base and who grounded into a double play with runners at the corners and nobody out to quash a seventh inning threat as Detroit was attempting a comeback, will continue to play through the groin/leg injury which has rendered him limited. Cabrera has only two home runs in the playoffs but one came off Bostons Game 6 starter, Clay Buchholz, in Game 2. Both home runs, the other off Oaklands Sonny Gray in Game 5 of the ALDS, were mistake pitches left up in the strike zone, which allowed Cabrera to clear his hips through the ball and drive it out to left field. Wholesale Balenciaga. The injury has rendered Cabrera unable to drive the ball to the opposite field. As long as Buchholz pounds the outer half of the strike zone, even cheats an inch or two off the plate and doesnt make a mistake, he should be able to contain Cabrera as a power threat. Meantime, Prince Fielder is still looking for his first RBI of this postseason. He heard boos from the hometown crowd after grounding out to end the eighth inning of Game 5. Catcher Alex Avila, who fouled a ball off his right foot in Game 4 and left Game 5 with a strained tendon in his left knee following a home plate collision with David Ross, is questionable for Game 6. Jose Iglesias will get the start at shortstop. Jhonny Peralta will be bumped to left field, his bat too valuable to remove from the lineup. Red Sox RHP Clay Buchholz (Regular season: 12-1, 1.74, 1.025 WHIP; Playoffs: 0-0, 6.17, 1.542 WHIP in 11.2IP) Game 2 vs. Detroit: ND, 5.2 IP, 5 ER, 8 H, 0 BB, 6K, 1WP, 1HBP, 1.141 WHIP. Buchholz seemed to hit the proverbial wall in the sixth inning of Game 2. Through five innings, hed held the Tigers to a run on three hits. But, after retiring Torii Hunter to lead off the sixth, he hung a curveball to Miguel Cabrera, who promptly deposited the pitch over the Green Monster. Prince Fielder and Victor Martinez followed with doubles and, two hitters later, Alex Avila hit a two-run home run. After Omar Infante singled, Red Sox manager John Farrell came to get Buchholz. Farrell showed in Game 5 his willingness to go to his three best relievers for extended work. He yanked Jon Lester after only 5 1/3 innings and relied on right-hander Junichi Tazawa, left-hander Craig Breslow and right-handed closer Koji Uehara to record the games final 11 outs. Farrell knew he had an off day before Game 6, so he leaned heavily on the three he trusts most out of his bullpen. Will he have a quick trigger for Buchholz if a similar situation crops up on Saturday night? Detroits the team in the must-win situation but Boston surely doesnt want the prospect of facing Justin Verlander in a winner-take-all Game 7. Manage with the intention of winning Game 6 and worry about the ramifications of Game 7 later, I say. LINEUP CONSIDERATIONS: Jarrod Saltalamacchia will draw back in at catcher. Xander Bogaerts will make his second consecutive start at third base. Will Middlebrooks will be on the bench. GAME SIX PREDICTION: From the beginning, this series had seven games written all over it and it has shaped up to be a series well talk about for a long time. Scherzer outduels Buchholz and the Tigers score enough to give their rickety bullpen some wiggle room late in the game. The Tigers win, 5-3, and we play a seventh game on Sunday night at Fenway Park.
