i was thinking the same thing. think they got this guy up there:

Well said about the Ozzie-Howard thing. I don't know how you can really not really like both of these guys. I think Howard's got a ton of potential and I really hope he is the goalie of the future and successful at that. But that said, I think Osgood needs to be starting more and I think they need to get back to developing Howard instead of trying to force him into a starting role that he wasn't quite ready for yet. It's absolutely no knock on him as a goalie. We're really, really, really lucky to have a couple guys that aren't head cases, who are humble and team guys that seem to love playing here. It's a great situation. I just hope Babcock doesn't drive Jimmy into the ground this year. That's why I want to see a shift back to a real rotation and Osgood starting in the playoffs for Jimmy to observe so he can really be ready in 1-2 years. Patience is cool. It's why Osgood has got a lot of Cups and 400 wins. Jimmy's too talented and too good of a guy to waste by burning him out early.

That's what she said.

Replay just showed the help on that save. That was closer than Pierre Maguire and Ed Olczyk get to Crosby during their threesomes.

i didn't see it, but i'm guessing he started sentences, paused for an uncomfortable amount of time, and then resumed the sentence which then blended into another sentence. all with irregular intonation.

9 in 9 for Fil the fine.

Maybe you missed him because he's so small and lackedazical out there, but Hudler actually just failed miserably to cover his man while Osgood was playing the shooter. Every goalie's going to get burned more often than not on a fast one timer from point blank because a guy was left wide open. It's real hard to hold crap plays like that against a goalie.

hahaha holy s***, Keating. Give up already...

f*** canada

So, using that theory, lets not give any of the 9 goalies ahead of Osgood ANY credit. Especially those Broduer and Roy characters, just look at the teams they played for, hell, my Gramma could've won in Colorado or New Jersey... Pfft, 600 wins, Marty is average, put him on Florida his whole career and he doesn't have 200 wins... strange, since Yzerman never won the Hart or Richard award,I guess he was never the best center in the game, ever. Hell, without his teammates he doesn't have 1063 assists without his teammates. Brett Hull was average until Adam Oates played with him, I guess Hull doesn't deserve his HOF induction or number retired.

Hee hee. Hudler is up front.

Oh come on, the kid is raping the league right now. He is far and away the best player offensively this year. Give credit where credit is due.

Ah. You mean THE "OSGOOD" who was the goalie for the Detroit Red Wings' Stanley Cup win that year?

If Hitler played for the Pens, he'd have been voted in as well. The fan voting is a joke, and always seems to rotate from team to team. Many years ago, Sharks fans stacked the ballot. Then it was the Canucks one year. Then Montreal a few years back, and now Pittsburgh. Seems like every year some team's fans stack the ballots, but it's never the same team every year. Conspiracy anyone?

I'm just reminding myself of this - Osgood made some HUGE saves earlier in the game that Jimmy in his current state of confidence likely would not have made. This could be a 5-3 Edmonton lead, easily.

Exactly. The goaltender is supposed to take the shooter, D is supposed to cover the pass. The D failed.

Everybody just insult every Red Wing one by one. Bert, now Drapes... I complained about Rafalski earlier and now he has an assist. Keep it going Complainy Pants Wings fans!

Drapes has still got it. That little insurance goal was for his buddy, Ozzie. Khabibulin is a sieve... I never thought I would see the day, really. It's a bit sad. Roloson is smiling right now.

The team seemed disinclined to acquiesce to your request...

Vancouver? Put down the cognac Murphy...

Congratulations Chris Osgood! I am so glad he got the win tonight, he had a great game and what better way to get that milestone. So proud of him.

Its fitting that he gets number 400 on a game where he certainly deserved it. I'd much rather it be this way than him getting it months earlier on a not so Ozzie-like game.

Congratulations to Chris Osgood!! He is truely one of the most loyal people I've met....even though the Wings have shipped him out and brought him back several times, he still loves the team and plays his heart out!
