Sleight 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2007 Looking at his stats, I noticed he's already played 44 games this season and is starting again tonight. I have been really pleased with how well he's played all season, but I just hate to see him get injured this late in the season. I knowthe Wings are currently in a tight race so every game is important, but I think Osgood should be getting some more starts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

58Miles2Joe 12 Report post Posted February 27, 2007 I think Dom gets to call the shots whether he starts or not, for the most part. I'm glad he's enthusiastic. But, yes, Ozzie needs some starts in case ...well, I won't say it. And besides that, I have him in my fantasy league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cicada 4 Report post Posted February 27, 2007 he doesn't do back to backs and he's got some time off coming up.. they'res really no problems. if the groin goes it goes, but it's just going to be bad luck that does it, not playing too much. Hasek knows his own body better than anyone and he's not going to play unless he's ready,... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted February 27, 2007 I honestly don't know what the best thinking is on this. Is it better to keep him playing more so he's in the groove and stays in game shape? or will more rest reduce the likelihood of blowing out his groin before the playoffs? who knows. We've just gotta keep our fingers crossed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jocu 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2007 If he slows down any more starts wise, then he could possibly get too cold and pull something. It'd be more of a risk then playing him more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zetter is Better 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2007 The only thing I`m worried about is Hasek`s groin blowing out, and Ozzie hast to step and is not battle hardened. Hasek seems good to go though And I believe in Ozzie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted February 28, 2007 Kinda sorta. All has gone well so far in terms of Hasek's health/groin, but I'm not going to act shocked if it blows out. From what I have skimmed though on his workout routines (don't know the ins/outs of it), I'm fairly confident that his groin won't be much of a hassle. Assuming he does stay healthy prior to the playoffs, I'd still be doing the same thing as usual, give him the majority of the starts, rest him on one of the games of consecutive days. I'm more concerned about him leaving his crease like a looney as opposed to his groin keeping up right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest paveldatsukthenextsavard Report post Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) does anyone else find it funny that all these most likely male posters are speculating, and expressing so much concern on the health of another dudes groin? i'm not too concerned, if he's played this many games already and kept healthy whats a few more Edited February 28, 2007 by paveldatsukthenextsavard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoalieManPat 1,007 Report post Posted February 28, 2007 Anyone else notice last night during the 2nd period I beleive that Chicago took a shot that was deflected and Hasek quickly kicked out his leg while the puck went wide. He stayed on one knee for a couple seconds and the puck went out of play. It looked like he pulled it then FSN went to commercial. That whole commercial break I was dreading them comming back and saying Dom had been switched out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henkka 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2007 Just forget the groin. It will be just fine. He injured last year because of the olympics. Hasek had wrong pads there and they affected different way to his groins --> injury. It was just a back luck and we don't have to worry about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In case anyone wondered, his equipment got lost in the airline baggage and he needed to pratice before the first game if he was to start (and at the time Vokoun was 1b keeper and they were going to play one game each to start and then see who looked better and go from there), so he borrowed some assorted gear from local Italians to practice, and then he got his stuff the next day, which was the pre-11" era 12" leg pads, because he said he wanted to wear the bigger gear if they let him. On a sidenote, Vokoun said the day he borrowed the gear that HE would never do such a thing, since he was afraid of being injured. Inevitably, Vokoun also stuck with his 11" pads.

That's it for Dom so far, and one game missed due to flu, which more than half the room caught. You're being reasonable.
