11:46 AM ET 10.09 | Dominik Hasek is once again calling it quits. The future Hall of Fame goaltender has retired from the game of hockey after efforts to make a return to the NHL have fallen short. The 47-year-old had talked with both the Carolina Hurricanes and Vancouver Canucks, but for various reasons neither team decided to extend an offer to Hasek. He retires from the game with six Vezina Trophies, two Stanley Cups, two Hart Trophies, and Olympic Gold.

glad he's hanging them up. I hate it when a guy like this doesn't know when to stop. And let me add that at his peak, he was certainly one of the best I ever saw

Without himin goal in '02 I don't know if the Wings could have won it all, so I'm grateful for that.

Agreed. It really is a shame when great players stay on too long and wind up hurting their reputation a bit. Willie Mays was the best example of that in my lifetime.

TT is from Michigan. Can't say I know where BGM is from. Outer space would be my first guess.

I'm sure that in terms of return for investment he'd be a much better fit with the canucks as backup than bobby lou...
