Now there you go. How the hell do we expect our backups should be our starters in the playoff every season? Some people are blind right now. Osbad had some good games lately but that is all. We cannot call he had great games against the Flyers and the Thrashers. That was just above average performance for top goalies in the league. 9 games are left. NINE!! Not many games are left. Put Osbad on the game against the Isles and if he does not perform well, bench him and play Conklin who really wants to play.

I think our offenses and defenses woke up too late. However, it is not just because Osbad allowed so many soft goals, which means to be behind of the score. However, it also just kills our whole momentum and situation. How the f*** guys want to play in front of that horrible goalies? The thing is Osbad is just repeating himself and on the media he is fine. How the hell he is fine? He had some good games lately but he has to show us a CONSISTENCY. Not just put his own glove into his own net and cannot use the glove to make a save, or in a bad way to say just burying the puck into his own back. If we suppose those three goals would not go in, the Flames did not have scoring chances. Maybe few more but we did not play bad. Osbad is just killing the atmosphere of this team right now. He does not look responsible for allowing goals. Maybe I just sometimes think last year's his good performance was the fire on the candle before storm is coming. Now, the fire is gone.

Hasek? His save percentage was above .900 percentage and he is a tremendous goaltender. That is why he was accepted to start the playoff. Osbad is the worst goalie in the NHL right now. Now, can you compare last year's Hasek and this year's Osbad? If you can, you cannot call you a hockey fan

If we don't win this game, I am gonna be super pissed off. No matter it is a back to back game. Conks will play solid in net I guarantee and our guys will perform a good hockey. Irrelevant to GDT, but if Osgood plays one more sloppy hockey game, it is done.

That is the part of a game. We cannot just make a magical assumption how the things would go in each period whoever our goalie was. However, no doubt Osgood was brutal, I just called him Osbad in my mind during the game. Now, 9 games are left. If Osgood plays other few more bad games, I would put Conks over Osgood. People here somehow look to consider Osgood as the god lately because he has been good in a recent. I told the last game, Osgood was not that good, he allowed some incomprehensible goals but he still made some saves, that was a deal. After this season, I don't know how this team's goaltending will be. I don't see why Osgood cannot be traded or waived up. Next season, we will be in a serious problem on our goaltending unless either Howard or Larsson will play awesome

First, I am not against Ozzie and his good late performance but his today action was just unacceptably horrible, almost house level of playing hockey in the town. What was like the 1st goal and the 2nd goal? I kind felt bad when he walked up into his locker room but Ozzie still makes me worried. I want to see how Conks play tomorrow. There is still bunch of possibility that Conks will be our starter this season as if he overplays over Ozzie. What I am thinking right now is that I think we just better give the Sharks the number one seed right now and build the confidence on each guy, set the number one goalie, and finish the best line combo. You guys know we don't need number one seed to win the cup right? I just sometimes cannot understand why Babs still tries to make some line changes. This is meaningless. Zetterberg should be with Datsyuk and Holmstrom. Besides, there is no need for Samuelsson to be on our top lines. What is the point of that? He even cannot control the puck well and he wonders where the puck is. Franzen, Hossa, Filppula will be good and before the playoff, call up Leino and Helm to replace players like Kopecky. I think this game implied a lot of thing. We seriously have to play hard. What are the things about Stuart? When Lilja is back, I don't mind Stuart will be out of the line up. Ericsson, this kid is just amazing somehow in my opinion. He does not seem to make that many mistakes, play some solid games. Problem is, when Kronwall and Rafalski are being IMPROVED right now, Stuart is doing nothing. Just stand there and looks the puck goes into the net. That is a holly lazy play. I really do not care we trade him during the offseason, maybe good fit with Ohlund? (maybe my too expected imagination) Besides, I did not realize anyone in the Wings except for Datsyuk. This guy is just incredibly talented. I don't particularly think the Flames played that well. Maybe the 4th goal was a nice passing play but those three goals were lucky and they did not have that many scoring chances. To end, we do not have to panic. I was really disappointed at the first but let's calm down and watch. However, the bottom line is that we seriously need some changes in this team right now. Not the roster but how hard they play.

damn.. Korea just allowed one point against Japan...

I agree with that and also do on Cleary. I like Cleary how he much works hard but his level of talent is not deserved to be on the top line. Well maybe because Homer is not back yet but after our full line up is completed, I really just want to stack up with Hank and Pasha. Sammy even does not deserve to be on the 2nd line. He should be on the 3rd line with Cleary and Huds. That is a deal. But Babcock is probably thinking too much about the team's different line combos. I think we have to stick up with ZDH and Fillppula, Hossa, and Franzen. No need to test anymore. Playoff is only 10 games away from now-_-

can we plaease put Zetterberg with Datsyuk? What is the point of Sammy is on the same line with Zetterberg and Cleary?

Well more than the uncall, I think we had some chances but it is still only one goal deficit so let's get it back. Good to see our PK is far better than a month ago lately

another penalty? damn...

what a save...

Are Hank and Pasha on the same line? It does not look lit that. They have to be together

I just came back from the WBC finla and we are doing PK... Sammy looks to kill every Wings fans lately -_ㅡ

wow... terrible goal to allow

I am watching both games: Wings and Flames, and the WBC final between Korea and Japan. Maybe I will miss some of the Wings play but I am very confident the Wings will play solid tonight and take the win over the Flames.

Here is my hope and big confidence that the Stars will beat the Sharks today in the regular game. p.s)) Korean baseball team also plays tonight, hope they win^^

I thought Halak was better than Price but both seem same; maybe because Halak is bad only tonight but I don't see the Habs can go more than the first round, not even sure they will make the playoff or not

Stars are done for this season. They just suck lol. Just I am getting ready to watch WBC of korean team

Wow the Stars are really bad on the blue line. Is Zubov out for whole season?

I don't know I can say Ozzie was great because if goalies are great, they have to play good for three periods not only 2 periods. Look, I am not blaming Ozzie but Ozzie looks still shaky when he faces some hard slap shots. However, he was enough good to win but some people here look to consider Ozzie's late performance as perfect; that is not true. More than that, it does not matter who the Wings played against. If Ozzie is getting his confidence back, I am going to be happy with that. However, it does not matter either whether the scorer is good like Kovalchuk and Kozlov or sucks. Because goalies should be responsibile for every goal. Ozzie made some great saves but like the 2nd goal and the 3rd goal, I cannot blame defenses while I blame hard Stuart on the first goal. Ozzie's real test will be on Monday against the Flames while Conks' real test will be on Tuesday against the Oilers. Hopefully, both our goaltenders will come up big and provide a great performance.

Ozzie stopped 31 out of 34, mathmatically around .911.. not a bad performance by Ozzie but if he could play in the 3rd like he did in the 1st and 2nd, he could provide a better performance. Well.. at least Ozzie is forming his own game right now but I also want to see how Conks can play. First is building confidence on Ozzie but we have to have some options so here is my expectation that Babs will start Conklin at least once or twice for the rest of the season.

Ozzie really looks shaky in the 3rd period...

Sammy is our enforcer now?

wow Cleary!! this team's offense is just insane...
