It's a big week for teams to retire the numbers of NHL legends.

We already saw the Anaheim Ducks honor the career of Teemu Selanne with an incredible ceremony on Sunday that included both the Ducks and Jets wearing Selanne throwback jerseys during their pregame warmups.

On Tuesday, it will be the Buffalo Sabres' turn.

That is when they will lift Dominik Hasek's No. 39 to the rafters of the First Niagara Center before their game against the Detroit Red Wings. Hasek spent the majority of his career with both clubs, getting his two Stanley Cup rings as a member of the Red Wings (as the starter in 2002 and as Chris Osgood's playoff backup in 2008). But while his name is on the Cup as a Red Wing, it was during his days in Buffalo where he played his best hockey and was not only one of the best goalies of all-time, but was also one of the most entertaining goalies to ever step between the pipes due to his unconventional style that resulted in saves like this...

He may not have retired with a lengthy list of records, but the NHL may have never seen a goalie as dominant as Hasek was during his peak years with the Sabres. Looking back on it now, the numbers are staggering. 

After becoming the Sabres' full-time starting goalie in 1993-94, he went on to lead the league in save percentage six years in a row. Save percentage data only goes as far back as the 1983-84 season, but during that time no other goalie has ever led the league that many times in their entire career, let alone six years in a row. 

During that six-year run he finished with a save percentage lower than .930 just one time (that would be the 1995-96 season when he only finished with a .920 mark). Those five years at .930 or better represent five of the top-16 individual save percentage performances in recorded league history. The only other goalie that appears in the top-16 more than once is former Bruins goalie Tim Thomas (twice).

The league average save percentage during his time with Buffalo was between .899 and .904. He was typically saving the Sabres between 25 and 30 goals per 1,000 shots faced when compared to average goalie performance in the NHL at that time. Over the course of a full season (70 starts), that might be a 50 to 60 goal difference. His game-changing dominance is a big reason why he was one of only five goalies to ever win the Hart Trophy as the league MVP, and the only goalie to win it more than once. 

He will be officially inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in November.
