Uhhhh....Did you hear both Mickey and Murph say that Sammy should have corralled that puck and not let it back out? Huh? No, it was not pretty, but HELLOOOOO???

Ohhh, phshawwww....!

Rafalski NEVER had it. Rafalski's good, but at least 1/3 of the time, he shoots the puck into the opponent's feet, and this time he just plain missed it. PERIOD.

Yeah, and there's MORE! Yeah, and not only that, they should give Oz a blowhorn everytime Flip is on the ice so he can bellow, "SHOOT THE ******* PUCK!!!". And it's obviously on him that so far they haven't passed the puck for s*** or are they able to get out of each other's way, so maybe in his spare time he could help the coaches work on that? And he can also help them work on playing better in front of their net and actually clearing the puck so he doesn't have to stop the slew of shots that came a little later in the period? WHICH HE DID? THAT SCREW-UP WAS ONE-HALF OZ, ONE-HALF RAFALSKI so how's about you Oz-Hating-Knee-Jerk-Freaks keep yer blood pressure down, or at least take those blinders o, at least for the next two periods? I swear to gawd I'm gonna start taking names and throw all your posts back on here, hopefully at the end of the season when you all end up looking like idiots.

Could you hum a few bars? Can't quite pick up the tune... :carrot:

This is absolutely wonderful and hilarious. While some of the rest of us (...cough...cough...) get all pissed at those who are totally anti-Ozzie around here, you come up with this. Thanks for the perspective. Meanwhile, of course there IS and has to be a middle ground. Yeah, there's the Eyores who say Ozzie should be #2, #3, ....#4?, waived, dumped or otherwise disposed of; and the rose-colored glasses types who say that Oz can do no wrong, but I sense both sets of numbers are small. Other than the facts that they played five games in seven nights; that the D has been inconsistent (and they're the first to admit it); that they get bored playing average teams, I believe there's another major factor influencing some of the unreal knee-jerk reactions. Don't know why and when it started, but I'm guessing most of us would agree that Deetroit goalies have always had a target on their back. If it weren't for them, us spoiled rotten fans wouldn't have much to talk about, would we. And that's been true for as long as I've been a Wings' fan (since '95). I can just picture how some of you anti-Oz fans would be doing as fans of other teams. On the one hand, you'd have a field day ripping, tearing and rending flesh because you could rant about all sorts of players, lines, coaches, offense, defense, ad nauseum. On the other hand you might not exist anymore from imploding so much. Hmmmm...... But in Deetroit it's pretty much Ozzie, isn't it - since he's the starting goalie. You wuss-ass, I-WANT-IT -ALL-YESTERDAY!!!- Eyores really, REALLY make me sick for your know-it-all pissant attitudes. You're so busy lying on the floor screaming and kicking your feet, mostly about one individual that you can't even see what a glorious, wondrous gift has been handed you - by falling into being a fan of the best hockey team this side of the milky way. THEY PLAY AS A TEAM, FOR CRISSAKES. THEY ARE KNOWN FOR THAT CLASSY-TYPE PLAY. Get a grip. Get a life. Get juuust a little perspective and realize that as good as Conklin is HE CANNOT CARRY US THROUGH THE PLAYOFFS. And whatever you do, PLEASE don't ever take up coaching on any level because you will not/ can not cut it. You'll probably be waaay too busy zeroing in on one hapless wannabe that your team will morally and physically dissolve. With any luck at all before that would happen, Whoever would kick your butt from here to Hong Kong for your total lack of perspective and support. ...ahem....Thanks again Electro....!

THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU.

Yeah, you notice how the haters aren't talking about what the score could have been if Oz hadn't played his ass off for two and 3/4 periods?? Go frickin' figure. Right on, and WELCOME.

Yeah. Leino. And Helm. Come on boyz, ONE MORE FRICKIN' PERIOD!!!

Gotta agree even though I don't want to. THE WINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE INVINCIBLE! ...sniff.... Then again, Babcock will figure it out for the third. Heart, keep beating....

Through the first two periods, Ozzie is the best player on the ice, bar none. Even Zetts gave up the puck! What the hell is going on?!

OZZIE, OZZIE, OZZIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed. Is it too late to hope for a suspension of ANY kind?

Thanks for the research and hard work. These are ALL keepers.

A-men, git daown and HALLELUJAH! What YOU said.

Where did I say you weren't entitled to an opinion? Meanwhile, if you don't think people should disagree with you you're in the wrong venue. Especially about Ozzie. He has been the hot topic here for about, what....five years now? The subject has pretty much been done to death and some of us are up to HERE with it. So lotsa luck on that one. However, from now on I'll probably just agree in writing to posters like Electrophile who really pretty much said it for me.

:beerbuddy: :banana:

Yeah! HE was responsible for whoever the hell the defensive player was NOwhere on the scene. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight..... Enough with the three-cornered finger snap s*** and the knee-jerk responses, please.

Thank you for the reality check.

It don't mattah what line they put Hossa on. He raises EVERYBODY'S play! Gawd, I LOVE HIM!!!!

I always get a kick outta all the dawgies in the neighborhood barking when Ken yells, "SCORRRE!!!" ....or 'GOALLLLL"....whadevah. I don't listen to him enough to be sure.

Flying feet, too....

Only problem is, they ain't $5 here in Texas like they are in Deetroit. Cacapoopoo.....

I agree on Dats and Hossa. But the call on Hudler was beyond belief. What's he supposed to do, let the idiot keep pounding on him? That's what Mickey said and I agree. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
