Even though he retired after the 2001/2002 season, he returned in 2003 for 4 more NHL seasons. After that he went back to CZ and was instrumental in his home team winning the championship. He finished his career a year later, playing for Spartak Moscow at the age of 46... He is the only modern era goalie to have won a Hart trophy twice and Vezina 6 times. Just as bit of trivia. Nice to see people remembering the hockey greats.
He has combined contortions of an octopus, determination of a wolverine and Jedi-level reading of the game. I guess he was the first X-men, next evolutionary step.
