I feel ya, Jen.

Yeah I see what you mean. I got an odd feeling though that we'll see him a bit during the regular season.

Woah. I was just going to post something very similar to that. Ahahaha You are too good, Jeff. What do you think of this signing? I figure you'd like him because he's very physical.

We got bounced those years because we couldn't score. There's one specific thing that always rings true about Ozzie. He *always* plays very, very well in the post season. I can't think of a single time where the Wings, Isles, or Blues lost due to him. He turns it on big time the second the playoffs start. *I'm not saying you're blaming him or anything..* I'm just throwing it out there. And I disagree in that he can only be a starter on a mediocre or bad team. Ozzie is a very capable starter. The guy is up there with the best of them career, performance, and state wise. And no I'm not talking about the past. I feel he'd be just as good now.

Same here. Pair him up with Kronner and they will be a beastly force. LOL

Oh man. I remember Cujo was having ankle problems which is why he didn't start Round 1. He had to take cortisone shots to numb the pain. Anywho, I recall the Wings winning Games 1 & 2 and then lost 3 & 4. Manny started Game 5 and midway through Cujo replaced him due to not playing well. He comes in and within the first 5 minutes stops a breakaway and turns the game around. Wings go on to win that game and win the series in 6. Then against the Flames..man was he amazing. It's really sad thinking about it because of how good he was playing with all the drama that happened, and with having ankle problems. And that Game 6 elminitation against the Flames is one I will never forget. Wings lost, but I still think of it as one of the best goaltending performances I've seen since I became a fan. He had some 50 or so saves, and majority of them were high quality scoring chances..and then he made a few amazing saves in the OT. If only they had scored one freaking goal! This is making me mad thinking back to it now. LOL Poor Curtis. I still hope he gets to win the Cup. He deserves it.

Cujo was a great signing gone wrong due to the goalie-go-round. His performance in the 2004 playoffs was FANTASTIC. He absolutely stood on his head each and every game. I remember the Wings couldn't score for the life of them. Cujo gave them every chance possible, and till this day I feel so awful for the way he got ran outta town. Especially since he was such a class act.

Nice.

Couldn't have said it better. That's pretty much the truth.

So sad though that everytime Ozzie is brought up it is expected to turn into a war. This thread will be no different. It may start off with good intentions and such, but there are some on here that will turn that around.

I thought the same. I was all in defensive mode before I even read the first post.

I most definitely agree with the topic starter. He could be a starter elsewhere. Like J-Swift said, he loves it here and it's where his loyalty lies. Ozzie is one of those guys that would take much less money to stay with the Detroit and split a goaltending job, then make more money elsewhere and possibly be starter. He loves it here that much. Honestly sometimes I do wish he was on another team so he can play much more, but then again I'd go insane because Ozzie must remain a Wing forever.

He's still available. He'd be much too expensive though.

That's so weird that you said that. For a second I thought you were talking about the Wings.

I didn't know Gelina's was a free agent. Any idea what his price tag would be? I'm for it.

It would be so funny if they made him play with the Oilers instead. It is true though *from what came out online* he was said to be an Oiler a day before he was a Cap.

Anything new with the Whit rumors?

Brad Ference is a tough S.O.B. I like this deal. Even if he is going to play in GR. I'm sure he'll be called up a lot. Good stuff. I have no idea who the goalie is though..

KLJSKGLJS I love Ray! He has been EXCELLENT ever since the Wings bought him out. He was a huge part of the Canes Cup win and has just been on fire ever since. Having him back would be sweet!

Are you jealous or something? I mean seriously..what's it to you? It's not about admiring the guy. It was about wanting him on the team because some of us feel that a healthy Bert can do some damage.

I don't see it anywhere.

Ooh I like it!

See you don't get it. First of all I am not deeply saddened. This isn't like someone died or something so stop with the exaggeration. I am upset. WHY? Because he could of been a big difference for the WIngs given he's heatlhy, which he stated he would be come regular season. I am upset because we didn't get to see him at his best. We saw him play while he was battling three injuries and that isn't fair. That's my point. It has nothing to do with me barley knowing the guy or seeing him play very few games in a Wings uni. I WANTED to see him here for awhile because I know what the guy is capable of doing for a team.

Thank you! Well that's your opinion. I wasn't even talking about the comments of him wanting to stay here. That has nothing to do with it. And honestly why do you care? Who I like and support is who I like and support. I could care less what anyone else thinks. I mean really is there even a point to your comments? Becaues I sure as heck don't see one. My thoughts exactly.

HAHA that is cute and funny.
