LALIME RETIRES, WILL WORK ON RDS HOCKEY BROADCASTS
Lalime retires, will work on RDS hockey broadcasts
MONTREAL -- Goaltender Patrick Lalime has retired and will become an analyst on Ottawa Senators television broadcasts, the all-sports network RDS announced Wednesday on its website.
Lalime played 444 games for five teams over 12 NHL seasons, posting a 200-174-48 record with a career 2.58 goals-against average and .905 save percentage. The 37-year-old played seven games last season for the Buffalo Sabres.
The St.Bonaventure, Que., native is best known for starting his career with a 16-game unbeaten run for the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1996-97, and for his five seasons with the Senators. His best campaign was in 2002-03, when he won a club-record 39 games and helped Ottawa reach the Eastern Conference final.
"My best moment, and also my most disappointing, was losing the conference final in seven games in 2003 to the Devils," he told the website.
Lalime is to work 15 Senators games on the French-language network next season as well as contributing to other hockey shows.

About three years too late. I really, really liked Lalime.. one of my favorite goalies, and he was one who I really tried to emulate. His problem started when his pads got too big. Once he started wearing the outrageously big pads he became lazy, slow, and went down far too early and far too often. I had the exact same problem when I switched to 36" Koho 590 pads with XL Koho 590 pants. Just became too big, too lazy, and couldn't move as fast as I could previously.
I like his masks.. marvin is awesome.. i hope someday to have an RBK mask with his chicago paint job.
I still dont know why buffalo got Lalime over Tbo anyhow, i thought Tbo was playing well...
Cheers

Make way for Enroth! I like Lalime, but last season was hard for him and Sabres fans alike.
One of my first painted masks was an emulation of Lalime's Penguins mask with the broken ice and eyes peeping through. Wish I never would have gotten rid of that 961. (Pads weren't so much an emulation of Lalime's in Pittsburgh but rather an admiration of that color scheme. Love the black on white combination.)
(about to set up before a faceoff)
