BUFFALO -- Hockey Hall of Fame member Dominik Hasek will have his number retired by the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday, prior to their game against the Detroit Red Wings. The ceremony serves to be a homecoming for him.

Hasek was inducted into the Sabres Hall of Fame last season, but with his No. 39 destined for the rafters at First Niagara Center, the memories of his time here have flooded back.

I have some fond memories of Hasek, though probably not the type Buffalo fans would be happy to hear about. No my favorite memory of Domink Hasek comes from 1998 when Joe Juneau knocked the puck past him in Overtime to send the Capitals to their only Stanley Cup Finals appearance. He was a great goaltender but for me, that will always be what I think about when I think of Hasek.
