1/8 GDT: Detroit Red Wings Vs. Dallas Stars

[J-Swift 0]

Losses that would have been wins with above average goaltending.

Thought I might correct your statement.

Osgood started tonight.

He started all of December going 8-1-1. Both starters had a bad game tonight. Though their skaters decided to show up right around the time ours decided that the game was over.

Oh well. On to the Canes. Hope Manny and the rest of them play better.

peace

Let's not overreact here. We're not going to win every game. Dallas are a good team. Yeah, we f*****d up. But the guys are going to be pissed after this game and even more determined to win the next game

No one has said Turco sucks, but he got pulled tonight in the first. He's still probably the best goalie in the league.

Pretty sure we still would've lost to Minnesota.

[CenterIce 83]

Too late, should have been yanked when the score was tied. IMO

Agreed.

[Manny>Ozzie(by a long shot) 55]

This paves the way for Manny

Long live "The cult of manny"

Osgood better pack his bags.. GR needs a pylon in practice

There was nothing wrong in STARTING Ozzie, but he should've been pulled once the team started shaking..

[Rice 42]

I just dont understand why its so hard for everyone (here) to see that Osgood just isnt a good goalie. How many leads does he need to blow? How many 6 goal games does he have to have?

[J-Swift 0]

Roloson massively outplayed Ozzie that night.

This is going to be one of the toughest weeks of our entire schedule, and if we want to come out of it with some points, we cannot be allowing six unanswered goals. Babcock DO SOMETHING.

[German Red Wing 0]

Hard to come back from the deficit but it ain't over yet.

That would mean we need another Chicago-style comeback...

UN#######real

Could not be any closer to the truth

[NAVYWING 2]

Honestly though, this game was lost due to Osgood's horrible goaltending and Lang's huge amount of lumbering ice time. Lang-Datsyuk-Shannahan??? Slow slower and slowest???

[Heaton 1]

DO SOMETHING.

He did, he put in Legace, it's up to him now.

Let's not overreact here. We're not going to win every game.

For one, everyone (including myself) always overreacts on the forum. It is natural. We won't win every game, but it isn't every game that you blow a 3 goal lead and have 6 unanswered goals. Here, unlike at other times, there is reason to overreact. Hopefully we can bounce back Tuesday and/or the Preds could lose tonight

Yep but whatever s***ty odds they are, it's proven that it could happen, although time is dwindling down fast. This is why I rarely overreact to any of this stuff because it could happen.

He was put in three goals too late. The game's done.

I thought you were talking about the next game.

[Kattermole 0]

Jeez, I am getting so PISSED OFF with the Ozzie bashing from the same bunch of people every game.

How many mistakes have our D-man made? Our forwards? Um, I am guessing at a few. No one is suggesting Brett Lebda be thrown off the team or turned into a burning effigy.

How many games have we won in the last 10 with Ozzy in net? For gods sake, take off the blinkers. Osgood had a bad game. You know what? Le3gace will have games like that this season. ALL goalies do. Turco did today. Does that make him a terrible goalie? Maybe it does, in fact, Turco, you suck. Get off the Olympic team and reture. Your career is obviously over. Just liek Patrick Roy in that 7-0 game in 2002. That proved he was a terrible goalie.

Thoughts...

Hard to come back from the deficit but it ain't over yet.

Regardless of the outcome, everybody and I mean EVERYBODY should be held accountable and needs the crap kicked out of them for falling apart, not just Osgood, not just Lilja, not just Mowers, but EVERYBODY.

Just an utter brainfart collapse in every aspect of the game.

wings haven't been good coming back when down in the third. they've clearly given up tonight.

[Manny>Ozzie(by a long shot) 55]

when is holland gonna wake up and trade for biron

why couldnt we have stuck with the goalie who just won on back to back nights?

[CenterIce 83]

Well, Osgood had a bad one. I shal not deny it. However, the rest of team needs to pull their finger out as well. I hope Legace can play well for the rest of the period.

Incidentaly, Ozzie has played bad after not playing for two back to back games. I guess he's not liek Manny. He needs to play game after game in a row otherwise his momentum gets interrupted.

I see the same thing. He needs a rhythm. Doesn't make for a good back-up goalie, though, who has to be sharp for a start every now and then.
