Acording to espn.com, Jeff Hackett has decided to call it a career. Vertigo is the cause. The Flyers wasted no time in replacing him, they got Sean Burke.
I remember Jeff as a youngster playing goal for the Islanders. I guess he really esatblished himself as an NHL goalie in his montreal days.
I'm not a big fan of going to shootouts, ties never bothered me much. This one seems to be trying to cater to the people who deride the NHL for having ties at all. Those people aren't going to become fans just because you eliminate ties.
