You bet yer buns, girl. As I type, they're about 3 minutes into the 3rd. Could be more! Who knowz?!

Traffic at their net would be OH so lovely. Just once, I'd like to see what might frickin' result from that.

I'm guffawing between my tears.

Just got home and about threw up when I heard who was announcing. They are the very worst. Especially the color guy. He's a whiny-ass apologist.

My post didn't have anything to do with what Babcock or anyone else within the Wings' organization said to or about Ozzie. I totally agree that's their call, and I would agree it might help him react positively. My post had to do solely with those on this board/thread who obsess over how bad Ozzie is as if their persistence will somehow pay off and not only all of us, but Babcock too will see the light and say that indeed, Ozzie's lazy and he sucks. Ain't.gonna.never.happen. Meanwhile, most of us on this thread are quite content with believing that yes, Howard is playing great and should be the #1 goalie. But we also logically suggest that most teams need a backup goalie who is ready to play.

What I will never understand and probably won't ever have the chance to do, is why you anti-Ozzies feel it's necessary to write him off at all? At this point in time, he IS our other goalie. Why is it even important to you that you suggest his past work was an "aberation", or that he "played way beyond expectations" last year? How does that affect the reality of what's happening in Detroit right now? In fact some of you have made this point to the point of obsession. Like you (or anyone else) can affect the goalie situation in Detroit. It simply boggles the mind that you persist. Like if you say/write it enough, people will either change their minds or it will change things in Detroit?! Most of us understand that Howard is goalie #1 right now but that is obviously not enough for you. How is this even relevant to the fact that RIGHT NOW we have two goalies, cannot make trades for a new one, and BOTH of them HAVE to be ready to play. PERIOD. In your minds, I'm trying to figure out what earthly purpose your negativity about Ozzie serves? Where does it take you? Where does it take the team? Why do you persist? Forget it because there is no logical answer. Bottom line? It's your egos making statements that cannot ever be confirmed or denied; making demands that cannot be fulfilled. You can make presumptive, negative statements about players till your tongues fall out, but it will not affect anything happening to the Detroit Red Wings. Ever.

I thought I saw you guys too. But I was thinking it was at the wrong end of the ice...as in not the goal where the Sharks shot twice. If I'm wrong, hey - it was good to see you and I'm MORE than thrilled that you had a good time!! So did all of us, ultimately!

...Gotta go wind down and watch all of those movies again...

I said it after the Penguins game, and I'm sayin' it again right here and now. The Wings are coming back. They are figuring it out. They are beginning to focus and they're beginning to remember what they have to do. And most of all they're remembering who they are and what they're capable of.

Yes, indeedy. If there was a bias tonight with the refereeing, we benefited. Thank yew, hockey gods!

With good reason. He had a very fine game.

CAN WE STAAAAAND IT???!! I THINK, YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

Let's see...Sharks went ahead by two and about one half the posters imploded, repeated for the 4,000,0000,029th time that the Wings are dead, old, don't give a s***, ad nauseum. THEN, we scored two goals...one by Cleary off Homer and Flip; the other by Zetts off Homer. And there were still some posters who said there's probably still no chance for this team because after all, the game's not over yet. Yep. I think that about sums it up. EDIT; This is what I get for only posting between periods.

okbye. :nonono:

Scared the pee outta me, though.

Welcome, letsgohelm to the Red Wings' mosh pit. You may find the decibel level a little out of control at first, but with any luck (?!), you'll get used to it! :beerbuddy:

Love the video! Love the music! Thanks!

When you do get to go, keep us posted, OK? Thanks!

I could live with this. :colorbounce:

You know what's really sad about this? Ozzie has always spoken very highly about you.

^THIS^ too.

^THIS^ pretty much says it for me. Everything goes to hell around our place while the Olympics are on.

This, and the iffy passing. Hopefully when Franzen and Homer come back the Net-Crashing-Thing will improve. We can only hope.

So what you're saying is we should keep him around? OK, so Ozzie's actually not for total s***/not totally useless/not totally lost his touch/don't have to kick him out on his ass/should not be shot at sunrise. What the hell do you think most of us have been saying for the last three months/years/decades? Howard's playing great. But for some of you to spew your bulls*** about Ozzie and that he's a lost cause is so frickin' far from reality that it is close to delusional. Under the circumstances it.cannot.be.reality. The only minor difference ANYwhere in all this cesspool of mind-numbing banter is how much to play him to keep him prepared. And how many pages long is this mother already?

To those of you who once again, have managed to turn a positive, informational thread to s*** - Since we need two goalies ready to play at any time SINCE YOU BELIEVE OZZIE IS USELESS, WHAT'S YOUR SPECIFIC SOLUTION? WHO DO WE GET FOR THE SECOND GOALIE AND HOW DO WE GET HIM? And yeah, I'm yelling because your arrogant, aimless personal zings are idiotic and time-wasting. WHAT'S YOUR SOLUTION? PUT UP OR SHUT UP. EDIT: I put this on the wrong thread, but it's still valid right here and now. Anybody? Anybody with a creative answer??!
