wow... interminded 15 Not that good, but if it's enough to place second, it's not that bad I guess... Thanks for the time and effort, Aussi_Wing !

Welcome to Detroit ! Jimmy Howard is El Salvador right now... but believe you me: If he has two or three mediocre games or let's in a stoppable goal he'll be stoned to death by everyone. That how nice we are with to goaltenders. Whether his name is Cheveldae, Essensa, Ing, Jospeh, Hasek, Osgood, Stefan, Vernon, Howard or Legace. Nothing less than a Vezina-worthy and Stanley Cup winning season is good enough.

Can Ward is hardly the jackpot.

Please... I beg you.... don't compare Cam Ward to Ken Dryden. You just can't.

It's also safe to say you're out of your mind. Let's say for agument sake Ozzie would get traded and we Hasek get injured in the playoffs. You know what happens then ? Unless Jimmy Howard turns out to be a Ken Dryden II, we're just royally f***ed. How can you expect a 23-year old to carry a team on his back ? Poor Jimmy Howard.... the future goalie of the Detroit Red Wings.

No. If your team captain and your coach admit they left their goalie out to dry on consecutive games, that's says something to me. Or maybe just me..

Yes, it is. Goaltenders are not for nothing called 'the last line of defense'. If a goaltender has a GAA of 10 over 2 games there went something wrong long before he gave up those goals.

I am not bashing the Detroit Red Wings, but here are their numbers for the last 2 games: GAA - 10.50 Save % - .588

Osgood - Os-Bad ! G-E-N-I-U-S !!!!!! Hilarious, really ! Really, really funny !

Good read: The Soapbox

He probably has the talent to by much more than Mogilny. But what AO has shown so far is not better than Mogilny's level of play in his heyday. Remember, the man had a 127 point season at one point...

From his player profile on NHLPA.com Chris Chelios, hockeyplayer. A man barely alive. Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic hockeyplayer. Chris Chelios will be that man. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster.

I'm wondering.... will he be back next season ?

Friday: Atlanta @ New Jersey Washington @ Florida Columbus @ Detroit Dallas @ Anaheim Calgary @ Los Angeles Saturday: Buffalo @ NY Rangers Boston @ Toronto Philadelphia @ Montreal New Jersey @ Ottawa Atlanta @ NY Islanders Florida @ Carolina Washington @ Tampa Bay St Louis @ Nashville Los Angeles @ Phoenix Edmonton @ Vancouver Sunday: Colorado @ Chicago San Jose @ NY Rangers Detroit @ Dallas Columbus @ St Louis Pittsburgh @ Buffalo Montreal @ Philadelphia Calgary @ Anaheim Nashville @ Minnesota

Well said Reem !!!

Good point !

You mean like when he was the starting goaltender in his years in St. Louis and Long Island ?

Whether Ozzie, Jimmy or Dom starts... this team as a whole needs to play better. But it's a good thing Ozzie starts, he needs to have a good game again.

Rangers always had decent goaltending. Beezer, Richter, Lundqvist. Good signing.

Nope. Babcock said he'll start Ozzie again on Friday. let's not shatter the man's confidence entirely by starting Jimmy H.

" Chris Osgood has been struggling with his form since the All Star break ". I think that's pretty clear and straight up.

You could use the word 'struggling' in stead of 's***'. It has a more mature ring to it. It's just an idea..

brutal.... just brutal..

Calm down, people.. Dom will be ready for the playoffs. He doesn't need a hip transplant. He's breathing on his won. He still has his own hair. He feels warm en cold. We don't need Kolzig, Luongo, Dafoe, Theodore or anybody else to have a succesfull playoff run. Calm down.
