from the Buffalo News, Miller tied the Sabres’ single-season record for most appearances by a goaltender, guarding the net for the 72nd time to match Don Edwards (1977-78), Dominik Hasek (1997-98) and Martin Biron (2001-02). With five games left, Miller certainly will have the mark all to himself, probably as soon as tonight when the Sabres host Montreal in HSBC Arena. “It’s just the coach tapped you...

INJURY UPDATES: Chris Osgood will start in goal tonight while Dominik Hasek is nursing a sore back.

fromm Rick Westhead of the Toronto Star, Now a group of influential NHL players that includes New Jersey's Martin Brodeur, Dallas's Marty Turco, Detroit's Dominik Hasek and Edmonton's Dwayne Roloson want the league’s – and inevitably the Leafs’ – uniforms altered again.

In my head CuJo is forever sad that Hasek crashed the party in Detroit, kind of like when you're the only guy at a party full of women, when suddenly a bunch of hot guys show up and take all the ladies.
