Thank you Eminem for supporting democracy against dictatorship, evil and endless lies. In the city where I spent a beautiful part of my hockey career,” Hasek wrote on X.

The Hockey Hall of Famer played in the NHL from 1990 to 2008. He spent time with the Chicago Blackhawks, Buffalo Sabres, Detroit Red Wings and Ottawa Senators. 

He was nicknamed “The Dominator” for his ability to stop shots. He led the NHL in save percentage for six straight seasons from 1993 to 1999. He also led the league in shutouts four times. He had 13 shutouts in the 1997-98 season and 11 in the 2000-01 season.

Eminem talked about the importance of going out to vote.

“Going into this election, the spotlight is on us more than ever,” he said, via FOX 2 Detroit. “And I think it’s important to use your voice. So, I’m encouraging everyone to go out and vote, please.”

Eminem has been a staunch anti-Trump critic since he was in office in 2017.
