TODAY’S TRAINING INSPIRATION:
DOMINIK HASEK

Today’s Colin Timberlake Training Inspiration is a man who did the seemingly impossible and, in an era where NHL goaltenders never won the Hart Trophy as league MVP, achieved the feat twice…in a row.

Domink Hasek won the Vezina Trophy as the league’s top goaltender a phenomenal six times, also appearing in six All-Star Games and being named a Post-Season 1st Team All-Star six times.

He won the Lester B. Pearson Award (league MVP as voted by the players) twice, and three times took home the William M. Jennings Trophy as goaltender for the team with the NHL’s best defensive record.

He helped backstop the Detroit Red Wings to the 2002 and 2008 Stanley Cups, and also led the Buffalo Sabres to the Finals in 1999.

Hasek was not only a talented athlete, but a well-trained and well-conditioned one, allowing him to play NHL hockey until the age of 43.

After 16 seasons, he retired as one of the greatest goalies of all time, with a record of 289-223-95 in 735 games, and a stellar 81 career shutouts.

TODAY’S TRAINING INSPIRATION:
BRAD MARSH

Today’s Colin Timberlake Training Inspiration is a man who, for 15 seasons, was one of the NHL’s premier performers in one of the most mentally demanding and thankless roles: stay-at-home defensive defenseman, charged with playing a mistake-free defensive game and keeping the puck out of his own net.

It was not the type of role that resulted in bleachers filled with Brad Marsh jerseys throughout his career, but it meant that he was an essential element of his team’s success.

Brad Marsh played with five teams during his career, but the bulk of his career was spent with the Philadelphia Flyers, where he enjoyed three consecutive seasons with a rating of +20 or better (the number of even strength goals he was on the ice for when his team scored vs. when he was scored against).

In 1985-86, he was an especially impressive +42, one of the league’s top achievers in that statistic.

Marsh would play in 1,086 regular season games, placing him in the venerable 1,000-game club, and would add another 97 playoff games, a total that included two runs to the Stanley Cup Finals with the Flyers.

He was just as potent a threat in the playoffs, winning three Stanley Cups and scoring 104 points in his 121 playoff games.

He played in 13 All-Star Games and three times won the Lady Byng Trophy as the player who best combined skill and sportsmanship on the ice.

TODAY’S TRAINING INSPIRATION:
MIKE VERNON

Today’s Colin Timberlake Training Inspiration is a man who, over 19 NHL seasons, established himself as one of the greatest goaltenders and pressure performers in league history.

Mike Vernon could invariable be counted upon to bring his best game when the stakes were the highest, and capitalized on his steel nerves to lead his team to two Stanley Cups and an additional two Finals appearances.

Winner of the 1996 Jennings Trophy (best team goals against average) and 1997 Conn Smythe Trophy (playoff MVP), Vernon played in 5 All-Star Games and led the NHL in wins in 1998-89, being barely edged out in a hotly contested ballot for the Vezina Trophy with the legendary Patrick Roy. The two goalies also met in the Stanley Cup Finals that year, with Vernon emerging victorious,

Vernon retired among the all-time leaders in most notable goaltending categories, with 781 career games, 385 wins, 92 ties, 27 shutouts and 19,921 shots faced (17,726 saves). Even more impressive are his 138 playoff games and 77 playoff wins.

TODAY’S TRAINING INSPIRATION:
CHRIS OSGOOD

Today’s Colin Timberlake Training Inspiration is perhaps the best and most reliable goaltender in the NHL who is not regarded by the general public as an elite goalie, despite a list of accomplishments that few in the league can rival.

Chris Osgood has long been thought of by many as an average goalie who simply has had the good fortune to play on excellent teams, but there comes a point where a man’s results are so consistent and exemplary that there comes a point when you simply have to give him his due credit.

His 50 career shutouts have him 2nd among all active goaltenders, second only to Martin Brodeur, and as of this writing, his 395 wins also have him 2nd for active goalies, and 10th in league history among all goaltenders who have ever played.

His 726 games (and counting) have him 19th all time and his 50 shutouts place him at 23rd.

Perhaps most important of all is Osgood’s performance when the chips are down. He has won three Stanley Cups and backstopped the Detroit Red Wings to the Cup Final in each of the last two seasons, at an age where most would have considered his prime to be behind him.

He has played in two All-Star Games, led the league in goals against average in 2007-08, wins (39) in 1995-96 and has twice won the William M. Jennings Trophy as goaltender for the team that allowed the least goals in the league.

TODAY’S TRAINING INSPIRATION:
TERRY SAWCHUK

Today’s Colin Timberlake Training Inspiration is a man who is rightfully regarded by many as the greatest goaltender to ever set foot on NHL ice.

For several decades, Terry Sawchuk held virtually every noteworthy career record for the position, only being eventually passed many years later by legendary goaltenders Patrick Roy and Martin Brodeur, who also benefited from significantly longer seasons in which they could accumulate victories and shutouts.

Sawchuk played 21 NHL seasons for five teams, accumulating NHL record totals in games (978), minutes played (57,228), victories (447), ties (172) and shutouts (103).

Sawchuk retired with the likes of Jacques Plante and Glenn Hall as unquestionably a standard-setter for his position. He won four Vezina Trophies as the NHL’s best goaltender, as well as the Calder Trophy as the NHL rookie of the year.

He led the league in wins five times and shutouts three times, and three times played in all 70 games for his team. (playing in 67 or more an additional four times). He was the quintessential workhorse.

Perhaps most impressive of all, he accomplished these feats in an era where goalies didn’t even wear face masks for protection.

He also accumulated 54 victories and 12 shutouts in 106 playoff games, and played in eleven All-Star Games. He was named to the post-season All-Star Team seven times, and raised the Stanley Cup over his head as a league champion on four occasions.
