Dominik Hasek drops two-word reaction to political commentator's message for Donald Trump voters ahead of US presidential election

Two-time Stanley Cup champion Dominik Hasek made his political views known by reacting to a social media post.

Hasek, a Hall of Fame inductee in 2014, echoed the political sentiments of political commentator Andrea Junker. In her tweet, Junker questioned voters’ reasoning for choosing Donald Trump and his running mate.

Hasek agreed with Junker's views, tweeting:

“How true!”

With the United States election roughly two weeks away, people from all walks of life, including athletes, have made their political views public. While Hasek was originally born in Czechia, he spent considerable time in the United States, playing with the Buffalo Sabres, Chicago Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings. Hasek also played one season with the Ottawa Senators. Hasek’s tweet makes it clear who he’s supporting.

Hasek’s tweet suggests Americans should make an informed decision before heading to the polls on Nov. 5.

Dominik Hasek’s legacy spans the globe

Dominik Hasek’s legacy isn’t limited to just the United States. Hasek left an indelible mark on hockey around the globe.

Hasek was born in Czechoslovakia (now Czechia). He was coming up in the Czech league before he got drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks. Hasek didn’t have much room for growth in Chicago as he was the backup to Hall of Famer Ed Belfour.

So, Hasek was traded to the Buffalo Sabres where his career took off. In Buffalo, Hasek cemented his reputation as one of the league’s best goalies. He won five Vezina Trophies and back-to-back Hart Trophies with Buffalo. He led the Sabres to the 1999 Stanley Cup Final but fell to the Dallas Stars.

It was in Detroit that Hasek hoisted the Cup twice (2002, 2008). Hasek added another Vezina while in Detroit, eventually hanging up his skates after the 2007-08 season.

Hasek also captured a Gold Medal at the 1998 Olympics with his native country, among other international accolades.

The Dominator was in the KHL until he retired in 2010. In his first year of eligibility, he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2014. Hasek finished his NHL career with the third-lowest goals-against average in history (2.37) and the highest save percentage of all time at .922.
