BUFFALO, N.Y. - As the Sabres celebrate Dominik Haseks time in Buffalo and raise his No. 39 to the rafters at First Niagara Center, the man known as The Dominator gets to see his impact on the game today.With the Czech Republics Michal Neuvirth in net for the Sabres and countryman Petr Mrazek in net for the Detroit Red Wings, Hasek can see his influence on goaltending almost seven years after he played his final NHL game.This is something special, Hasek said Tuesday morning. This is something Im proud (of) if I had influence on these goalies: my style, my work ethic or something was special for them, which led them to become NHL goalies.There have only been just over a dozen Czech-born goaltenders in the NHL, many of whom were born in Czechoslovakia before the country split in 1993. Three are in the league now: Neuvirth, Mrazek and Ondrej Pavelec of the Winnipeg Jets.And while there have been others, like Roman Cechmanek and Tomas Vokoun, Hasek is the only Czech goalie to win a Stanley Cup as the starter. Neuvirth, Mrazek and Pavelec are of the age that they grew up watching Hasek at his best.Obviously when a guy like that starts playing goal in your country, then other people start playing goal, Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said.Haseks debut on the international stage came at the 1987 Canada Cup. One of his shining moments came when he helped the Czech Republic win gold at the 1998 Nagano Olympics.Since Nagano, hes been a legend. Everybody loves him back home, Neuvirth said. I remember the whole country just stopped. We were watching the games. It was such a big deal. It was huge.Hasek beat Canada in the infamous shootout without Wayne Gretzky in the semifinals and then beat Russia to get the gold medal. In the first Olympics featuring NHL players, Hasek stood out above everyone.Since then, he was my hero, Neuvirth said Monday. He was my idol. I always wanted to be like him playing in the National Hockey League. He was pushing my dream forward.Hasek said fans in the Czech Republic care deeply about hockey and follow the careers of Neuvirth and Mrazek just like they did his. The love of the sport isnt as fervent as in Canada, he said, but hockey and soccer hold a special place in peoples lives.To Neuvirth and Mrazek, Haseks career, his Olympic triumph and six Vezina Trophies meant a lot. But watching his unorthodox style, they knew they couldnt replicate it.Neuvirth called Hasek a unique goaltender, so he and his Czech counterpart instead tried to mimic his work ethic.He had a totally different style and play a different game, Mrazek said. But what I want to take from him, its the game he was winning. He never wanted to lose the game and wanted to win every time. Thats what Im trying to do.After watching all-star starting goaltender Jimmy Howard go down with a groin injury Saturday night in Washington, Babcock said he would love for Mrazek to be as mentally strong and determined as Dom is, and then he can have himself a heck of a career.It may be Mrazeks net for the near future, so hes going to try to make his idol proud.I can try and take from (his mental toughness), too, Mrazek said. You have to be mentally strong every time. If you let (in a) bad goal just let it go and be ready.---Follow @SWhyno on Twitter Adidas Originals Wholesale Uk . -- Sami Salo joked that as the shootout went on and on, one thing went through his mind: "Youve got to tie up your skates.

According to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger, it doesnt appear the offer was warmly received by the team.

He just needed to find his stroke. Once he did, Young gave the 76ers a rare bright spot in a bleak season. Young hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 3.2 seconds left to lift Philadelphia to a 95-92 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Wednesday night. "I was like, Im making this shot," Young said. "I hadnt made one the whole game. But I was like, whatever it takes, it was going to go down." So did the Bobcats. Young hit the final big shot in a fourth quarter loaded with back-and-forth baskets, a poorly contested jumper from the left of the arc off a feed from Michael-Carter Williams. Young scored 11 points and his winner was his only 3-pointer of the game. Kemba Walkers last-gasp shot was off the mark. Spencer Hawes had 17 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists for the Sixers. Evan Turner scored 23 points and Carter-Williams had 20. "You find those (wins) from time to time to help promote what youre doing," coach Brett Brown said. "They work hard. They really invest time. They completely get along." Walker led the Bobcats with 26 points and Al Jefferson had 24. Hard to believe, the Bobcats (16-24) entered the game as the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. But this one had the feel of a bad preseason finale until the final minutes. Charlottes Gerald Henderson missed his first nine shots. Philadelphias Tony Wroten spent more time throwing the ball into the stands than to a teammate. Sixers forward Brandon Davies was whistled for four fouls in 5 minutes. Both teams shot clunkers from the free throw line (Bobcats 17 of 26; 76ers 11 of 20) and 3-point arc (Bobcats 5 of 20; 76ers 6 of 15). And the turnovers. So many turnovers -- a sloppy 24 for the Sixers that led to 25 points and helped the Bobcats rally from 11 down. "You fight hard to come back, then you just cant come up with the plays to win the game," Henderson said. Henderson stripped Turner and dunked for a rare easy basket and a one-point lead late in the fourth. Hawes followed with a 3 to put the Sixers up 89-87. Jeffersson tied it.dddddddddddd Turner went inside to make it 91-89. Walker tied it at 92-all. This one seemed set for overtime. Young took care of that with one of his biggest shots of the season, a needed lift for a team with only 13 wins. "We have to get better at finishing games and keeping our turnovers down," Young said. "We dont have very many (wins), so we have to cherish what weve got." The sputtering Bobcats have lost nine of 10. "When the games on the line, youve got to have one clean coverage," Bobcats coach Steve Clifford said. "We did a poor job with the two guys involved in that." While the win helped the Sixers snap a four-game losing streak, they are still all about building for the future and have steeled themselves for a season spent near the bottom of the standings. They hope Nerlens Noel helps take them to the top. Noel, the sixth overall pick in the 2013 draft, hasnt played this season as he recovers from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. The 6-foot-11 centre was injured last season playing for Kentucky. The Sixers are taking a cautious approach toward bringing along their top prospect. Sixers president Sam Hinkie said some restrictions on Noel have been lifted and he is now able to participate in limited on-court work. "There are several benchmarks Nerlens still must meet, and during that time we will closely monitor his progress and regularly evaluate his status," Hinkie said. "Our goal remains the same, which is to give Nerlens every opportunity to ensure a long, productive NBA career." Brown said there was "no definitive timeline" on when Noel would play for the Sixers. "At age 19, hes got an awful lot to offer, an awful lot to give," Brown said. "I personally cant wait to coach him. Hes excited. He wants to get out there. But we have to do right by him."
