It has absolutely nothing about the wings losing. It has everything to do with the 7-6, 7-5, 7-4 losses that Detroit's been having this year. First off I want to say that I'm a goaltender myself so I know what it's like to be hung out to dry. The issue here is team defence not only goaltending (although that is definately part of the issue). The reason I brought this up is because there are a lot of trade rumours flying around right now and there are definately teams looking so we don't want to close all our doors here. I'm confident in Legace myself but a lot of people have issues with him as well saying he isn't a bonafide #1. Either way, we aren't going to win the cup by losing games 7-6 come playoff time.
And please do not jump all over me for being an Osgood hater, I just see a possible opportunity for the wings to get a good trade. That is all.
As far as I remember this is the first time this season the wings have given up 7 goals....umm, yeah, im pretty sure of it. And 3 of those goals you can't blame Osgood for. two different 5 on 3's and a 3 on 0 breakaway...not exactly something that really anyone expects a goaltender to stop. Pretty much you are EXPECTED to score on a 5 on 3 every time as well as a 3 on 0. If you don't you are a horrible shooter and should be caned.
Don't get me wrong,I love Legace....I think he is definitely our number one if he stays healthy, but I don't believe Howard is ready to handle himself as a number one if Legace continues to go down, and Osgood can. Remember that he himself isnt exactly 100%. A groin injury isnt something that easily goes away. Especially not for a goaltender.
