Dominik Hašek - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

They called him « The Dominator » because he was so dominant as a goaltender in the 1990s and early 2000s. He literally set new records in NHL history.


Between 1994 and 2002, with the Buffalo Sabres and Detroit Red Wings:

6 Vézina trophies( award given to the best goaltender of the year with the most impressive statistics and the strongest value/impact on team performance )
2 hart trophies in back to back seasons (hart trophy winner = the season MVP)
1 Stanley Cup championship
2 William Jennings trophies ( award given to the goaltender having played a minimum of 25 games for the team with the fewest goals scored against it based on regular-season play.)
