Well the glass is always half empty. I just know this is a really important game and I have no faith at all in Osgood. My only hope is to believe the Wings can out score the Preds. And that is hard to believe in when we're missing too many key guys. At least Booter gets a shot, go Booter! At least Forsberg is showing why I didn't want him on our team, we have enough injuries.

Well this game is over before it starts. It's not bad enough that half the team just came up from the Griffins, but we have to rely on Osgood. Preds get at least 5 goals on him, I think the Wings might get 1 if that. Prove me wrong Ozzie.

I apologize also. You are not completely useless Kenny. I still would have prefered Guerin or Tkachuk, but there is certainly no lack of toughness with Bertuzzi. Just as long as he can remain healthy. Ok Forsburg, go put Bertuzzi in a headlock and see where that gets ya. Shiny!

Holland needs to work a deal to dump Lang so we can get a power forward. Lang is almost as useless as Osgood. At least Ozzie is cheaper. I agree that Hudler and Filpula need more ice time. Maybe with Cleary being out one of those two might move up a notch. Do something Holland!

If they are what they are, then they are on their way to another first round exit. So we lost Yzerman and Shanahan. But we added... ummm... Hasek? No, that doesn't really make anything better. Ok, let's see... Filpula? No. Hudler? No. Oh wait, I got it! It's Markov! Stanley Cup here we come!

This would not be a panic trade. Holland has known we have holes to fill since last season. He is useless if he does not get a deal done. I don't need a hug, the Wings will however when they lose in the first round again if their current roster stays the same. It pains me that our future is wasting away in Grand Rapids while a subpar goalie pretends to be our backup. The future cannot become the present unless it is allowed to step forward.

Osgood IS the reason we lost this game. The Wings played damn good and to come out on the losing end can only be blamed on one person. If he was paying attention he would have saw that Kariya tip coming and cut down the angle and I would not be ripping on him right now. I could go into a whole spiel about why does Babcock play Hasek against a nothing team and Osgood verses one of the best teams in the league since that has happened more than once. But that is another thread. I am some what glad we lost, maybe Holland will push harder to make a move. We are almost good enough to beat the Predators with swiss cheese in goal. One more player should put us over. I obviously don't "love" Osgood. However, I would love to see him driving the zamboni and not in our goal. I guarantee if Osgood faced those 44 shots we would have been blown out. If he was the reason we became such a great team, why did it take Vernon to win us the first cup? He's is an below average goalie on an above average team, that is why we lost this game.

I think I know at least one person who sees those little red hearts. The Wings could have won that 1998 cup with a cardboard cutout of a goalie in net. Better yet, I bet we could have won with Cheveldae in goal. That's right, I said it. Seriously though, at best Osgood is an average goalie. If we go into the playoffs this year and for some ungodly reason have to use Osgood, there is no chance in hell we win a cup. What is Babs going to say? Our goaltending really sucked tonight, what moron brought Osgood back here? I think not. Ozzie could still be a great goaltender... in a beer league!

What game were some of you watching? Osgood is lazy and he sucks. He just doesn't have it, not sure if he really ever did. I have no confidence in him at all. Everytime somebody fires one at him I think it's going in. And he's got another year on his contract, yeaaa! Well I guess we'll just have to wait until Howard reaches the minimum age of 27 for a Red Wings #1 starting goaltender. I think there too many people who see little red hearts floating around Ozzies head and aren't looking at the pucks flying past him into the net. He's done!
