Ozzie can certainly handle the job.

And the Preds are just as beatable as any other NHL team.

What's bugs me is the indecisiveness of Mike Babcock.

In the first week of January he said Dom and Ozzie will split games.

A week later he said Dom is going to play more, even back-to-back games.

And now Dom is not going to play back-to-back.

I'm thrilled to see Ozzie play !!

But Babcock should make up his mind.

That is fine.

WTF? Why would you not use our starter against Nashville?

So Hartnell doesn't take him out.

I am fully confident in Ozzie getting the start against Nashville, especially the way he played against Dallas, in his first game back from injury. That being said, I don't agree with Babs playing Dom tonight instead of tomorrow.

My reason is quite simple. There is a decent chance the Wings could end up playing the Predators in the playoffs, and its looking more likely that the Oilers won't even make the postseason. As long as Dom is healthy, he'll be starting at that time. IMO, you should start the goalie that will be starting against the Preds come playoff time to get more familiar with their shooters. EDM isn't a bad team, and they are fighting for their playoff lives right now (so they should be a good test for either of our tenders). As a result, both games should be hard fought battles, but it just makes more sense to start Ozzie tonight and Dom tomorrow.

Just NFM's 2 Cents.
