Kevvie

Glad to see he'll be back. I hope he's completely well, and brings his A-game...or maybe the A-Team.

Since when do the length of suspensions make sense?

I Want You to Want Me - Cheap Trick

Crap...now I have to go shopping for some other gizmo to help my lazy ass! The person below me bought a lottery ticket recently.

Just cold feet? Or cold feet about something? Either way, nope, always warm...the wife's feet, though. DAMN! The person below me is listening to music while reading stuff on LGW. Edit: spelling....I'm such a tool sometimes.

And then thirty seconds later..... :puke:

You're welcome. If certain threads tend to bring on this amount of distress for you, I would suggest you skip them. Failing that, don't give all your 'tude to people who are doing the same thing you are...that is posting here to discuss opinions, facts, and musings. You seem to have some real issues with the whining and complaining done here. Hmm...pretty sure I did neither of those things, but again, if that's a problem for you, move along and shut the f*** up because I don't need you to tell me what to do or how to think. I posted an opinion, which you took some kind of offense to. I really don't give a rat's ass. What gets to me is that you feel it's your personal duty to, instead of state a differing opinion, get s***ty with others you don't agree with. Put on your big girl panties, read, discuss, do whatever you want to do. As long as you don't be a dickhead to people just for the sake of being a dickhead.

Wow, a little pissy are we? I didn't realize I had to be asked to voice an opinion here. Maybe you could let people know somehow when you'd like their opinion. Or at least the people with an opinion that differs from yours. Or maybe we could post our opinions and let people discuss what they are thinking. Personally, I didn't get to see last night's game, but I did read that Howard let in a couple of soft goals. My thinking isn't with Howard so much as the roster goalies. Yes, I know the defense has been a bit of a problem too. I've seen that. This thread was about Osgood and his time off. I still believe that without goaltending of a higher caliber than we've seen so far this year, the first round will be a washout. Being a favorite doesn't win games. Getting more goals than the other team does.

Yeah, no supper or dessert. Good question. Nobody said he's intentionally had a s***ty year. I know I didn't. Like I've said before, I'm a fan of Osgood's, but his play this year has not been up to par. "Re-focus" is the key word used in the naming of the thread, and you don't do that by eating your wheaties. His skills are not in question, but his mind-set is. Do you actually believe that giving him ten days off will result in him NOT thinking about his game? Yeah, he's gonna kick back with some Coronas, with lime, and watch Happy Days reruns, and enjoy the quiet life.

Nope, laundry and packing to move to my new house soon. The person below me has never watched a Star Wars movie.

Howard's short trip to play with the big guys is a fine plan to give Ozzie some time, but I can't figure out why they didn't just have him back up Conks. I suppose they wanted to see him play, but they didn't improve their situation by throwing a game away. A little bizarre if you ask me, and I realize nobody asked me. We should be looking for a way to set up a good winning streak, not shutting one down. I hope they bring Ozzie back and let him ride some pine to back up Ty. Let Ozzie continue to think about the position he has put himself, and his team, in. A good goalie with a Stanley Cup hangover or some kind of superiority complex isn't worth s*** in this league. I'm not in the head of the Great Oz, so I don't know exactly what the issue is there, but he needs to put it together, build a bridge, and get over it. Without a solution to the goal tending problems in Detroit, we are looking at an ass kicking in the first round of the playoffs. Yeah, I know that's a long way off, but this has been the whole season issue so far. Good luck to Chris Osgood.

Don't You Want Me - Human League

Been Caught Stealing - Jane's Addiction

I'm not ashamed to say I have! The person below me recently had a wedgie.

Everywhere I Look - Hall and Oates

Been there, done that. The person below is tired of hearing the phrase "been there, done that".

I do it daily...well, every other day I guess...for the past 5 years. The person below me thinks shaved heads are sexy!

If Buttman can't find a way to get the Norris to his daughter, Sindey Crosby, it HAS to go to Nik. (sorry for putting Crosby into this...couldn't resist)

After all has been said and done, usually a lot has been said and little has been done. Let's hope Oz uses this time to screw his head on straight and figures out how to stop beach balls from going in the net. Harsh...maybe a bit. I'm a fan of the guy, but it just seems like his play has been lackluster at best and negligent at worst this season. I'd like to see him back real soon, but only if he's ready to play.

Right Here, Right Now - Jesus Jones

Oh yes I do! The person below me agrees with me regarding the post above me.

I like Meech too. Give him some time and I think he'll find his spot. I don't see him being a superstar, but an asset nonetheless. With enough ice time the kid will prove himself. Whether or not it's in Detroit will be the question. I say play him, and give him a chance.

Saturday Night's All Right For Fighting - Elton John

Well, yeah! The person below me skipped breakfast today.

Still too far to drive from Cold Lake. I'm wishing I could, though. The person below me laughs at Sean Avery's antics.
