just a really quick thought that i was pondering upon earlier. with playoffs just around the corner couldn't it be a good thing that just as playoffs are starting all of our impact players are going to be back 100% and healthy and ready to play for an 11th cup??? speak on

lmao that was horrible u no wat is a really good redwings song tho, kinda recent too without stanley - by sum eminem sound-a-like it's gto the beat of without me and it tears up our former rivals the avalanche and lots of otehr teams nice =]

okay now, i honestly love dominick hasek, i love his sloppy style of play, i love the way he practically juggles his entire body to get one puck. but as i've said many times before, HE'S TOO OLD and hecan't play like this anymore. he's either got to go condition some more or chagne his style or sumthing. i kno it's gotten old and you've heard enoug hof that but come on. We all know dom has slow starts and needs consistant shots to get into a groove, but how long is it gonna take him to get back on track. and when you've got a defense like detroit's, ur usually not goign to et a consistant flow of shots so if dom wants to stay our starter and be good at it, he's gotta learn to play through that . the fact that he doens't get many shots on goal during a game is absolutely no excuse for his poor play and chrisdetroit , y can't we win the cup wiht ozzie in net? he's barely had the chance to show us what he's got and of what we've seen so far this year.... HE LOOKS AMAZING IN NET

but hasek obviously can't keep up wiht the wing's expectations of him. And i don't see what you mean by ozzie won't "keep out" i mean look at him. He's 8-1 for pete's sake, you're telling me that's not the sign of someone who can lead us to a stanley cup? Personally i do believe hasek is too old, too slow, and too sloppy to keep up with today's game. I've said this before, wiht all of those young players out there today with such fearlessness and edgy-ness it's going to take a WHOLE lot of conditioning and practice for Hasek to be back up to par with the NHL's standards. He once WAS the greatest in the world, now he's got to move over and let ozzie lead us to another cup because he obviously can't. i'm not saying ozzie will ever make it to the hall of fame or is even hall of fame material. but there is ABSOLUTELY no doubt in my mind that osgood is a great goalie and if anyone is going to lead us to another cup this year it's going to be him.

haha thx i appreciate it =], oh i meant to say *new* to this, but i guess u got that.

oh no that wasn't exactly what i was saying but you got the jist of it, sry i was half asleep when i wrote what. but i do think hasek should step down, not so osgood could show us his goaltending skills and get into the hall of fame, but because of how old and incapable he now is. everybody knows he's nothing like he used to be and i think it's pretty obvious that he's hurting the team. Osgood though i think definitely has hall of fame potential and possibly could get into the hall of fame if he had the chance to be put into the spotlight (maybe if hasek did indeed step down) and i'm sry, wat does IMO mean? haha i'm kind of used to this.

Osgood i can't say screams hall of famer as of now. look at Hasek now. the instant one hears his name they think oh he was once the greatest goalie in the world! LOOK AT HIM NOW!!! He's too old, too slow, and is not ready for this game of the NHL. He cannot keep up with the intensity and downright fearlessness of today's young nhl players and that is pretty self evident, look at the 4 goals he let in tonight. Hasek no matter what though will alwasy be seen as a hall of famer past his prime or not. Now osgood is still reasonably young. In all honesty, other then wheen he led us to the the cup in ('98 was it?), is standing up, taking charge, and showings us he is worth of the the stats he represents. He is showing us he really is an elite goalie, that he is the next Hasek of the Detroit Redwings. Not now, but i believe if he were to become our starting goalie instead of Hasek, which i think should happen quickly before Hasek relaly starts to hurt the team, he can really show the NHL what he's got... and believe me, he's got alot.
