   Don't know him. When I first met Jim he was a goalie coach in Finland in the   
   winters and the starter at the Niagara Whirlpool golf course, and the only   
   person allowed to rollerblade on the miles of paved cart paths.   
      
   He told me one time when Detroit had Dominic Hasek, he lost a game which was   
   their first meeting of the year between Colorado and Detroit. Detroit lost.   
   and late that night Jim got a call from security that there was a player   
   still in the dressing room. It was Dominic who was so upset for losing that   
   he didn't go home - Just stayed the night and resolved to work harder the   
   next day.
