Here we go with the Osgood threads again. This is getting pathetic.

I sure hope <3Conkie<3 plays!

I think my face is going to turn eternally red. Thank you.

:Raises hand: It's nothing against them, but the lack of faith in the team as a whole just bothers the crap out of me. Instead of pointing out everything the Wings did wrong, I paid attention to what has improved since the last four games. In the third period especially, our defense looked MUCH sharper. We had intensity that we didn't have in the other games (if you don't count the last few minutes of the second period last game.) These guys aren't idiots. They know what to do. I have faith in this team. Some people are more in love with winning than they are with the Red Wings.

LOL!! I'm sorry to burst your preconceived notions of what I look like... but I am not, in fact, an older woman. I've just grown up in a very pro-hockey home. I even played roller hockey for 8 years. How insane is THAT? But seriously - thanks for the compliment.

I really don't understand how anybody in their right mind would want to get rid of Calgary.

I had to take breaks because I just wanted to type "O'Halloran sucks" over and over again.

There's a penis in there?

....................... Apparently, not his level of dignity.

I'm loyal to Ozzie just as I'm loyal to all of the Red Wings players. I love my team to no end. BUT I can't sit back and be blind to what's going on with Osgood. I believe he can turn it around, but I also believe that until he does - we need to put Conklin in net to let Ozzie overcome his obstacles.. and then focus on our D from there. Just my two cents.

Well, his ankle is acting up - could be why Babs didn't play him as much last night.

Hudler doesn't like Babs?

MSNBC and Fox News are both disgraceful. -.-

If only we could all use public newspaper and tv outlets to rant about our childish life experiences.

I wish I could say "pun intended", but I can't.

Post of the day.

As long as Abs can bring physical intensity, I'm totally cool with it. I loved the end the second period last night. Our guys weren't afraid of landing a big hit because they knew they had an enforcer there to back them up. Most exciting hockey I've seen from the Wings all season.

That was actually really funny.

Thanks. I'm sure it'll be filed under "Useless Complaints We Don't Need To Read", but it was worth a shot.

You know what, Babs? Screw you for helping to shape me into the NHL player that I am today. Screw you for giving me the motivation to succeed and put myself on an NHL team's roster. SCREW YOU!

I wasn't trying to start a fight.. just saying that there's already a thread dedicated to ripping Ozzie apart. If you're going to start talking about the specific shots he faced last night, be my guest. General bashing of Ozzie doesn't belong in the game thread.

There's already an Osgood thread. Take your crap there.

Spoken like a true Red Wings fan.

Not respecting other teams? He's forgetting the fact that the Wings have never disrespected another team in any sort of interview. Ever. In fact, even when we cream someone, they're the first ones to say "We know they're a great team and they're going to come out faster and harder next time around." We purposely skate away from fights to avoid conflict.. and some of our OWN fans cannot stand that from our team. But with a captain like Lidstrom - confrontational encounters isn't high on our priority list. If anything, the Wings are one of the MOST respectful teams and/or franchises in NHL history. Illegal wins of face-offs? Maybe he's also forgetting that everything he has listed in that paragraph are PERFECTLY LEGAL ways to win face-offs. As for "mysteriously" falling to get a power play - what player in this league doesn't dive to get penalties for the team? Is it honorable? Not all the time. Is it a Red Wings thing? HELL NO. People DO hate the Wings because of their success. For him to say he hates the Wings because they got away with cheating is basically the same thing as saying he hates the Wings because they were successful. In his convoluted "I don't know a damn thing about hockey" mind, we had to cheat in order to be successful. If we weren't successful, this guy wouldn't have been pissed in the slightest. Someone needs to tell him to pick up a hockey rule book before he continues posting and making himself look like the moronic jackass he really is.
