...years running. He's a finalist again this year. Opposing teams scored an average of 1.87 goals per game against him in the regular season, vs. the league average of 2.63. He's known as the "Dominator," which he demonstrated in shutting down the younger, faster and just plain better Ottawa Senators to win the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, 4-0. After beating him, 4-2, in the opener of the second round, which continues this week, Boston Bruin players emphasized that Hasek is human. Keep saying that, guys...
...Darth Vader's theme but a grand, sweeping piece that is reminiscent of the Indiana Jones films.

"But after that, the Dow will go right back to setting records." That may be the only kind of inflation you really have to worry about...
...Legacy enough, probably, for a man who lunches on plain salad and spring water. Whose devotion to risk management is reflected in his wardrobe -- charcoal suits and white shirts, always. Who has been living in the same suite at the Jefferson Hotel in Washington for the past six years, and almost always dines downstairs (and whose wife wouldn't move down to boring old Washington with him). But -- and here's where the line between what Rubin actually did and what merely happened while he was minding the store gets even blurrier -- Rubin's footprints go deeper. By a strange...
