Guest Agalloch Report post Posted April 6, 2007 ithink some people just have ther head stuck to far up ozzies ass to see it Did you even watch Ozzie play a single game this year? He's been great. Are you expecting a .930, 2.00 performance from a backup goalie that is constantly hung out to dry?! If we went into next year with Osgood/Howard, I'd be fine. My god, Osgood gets no credit around here. What did he do to make you guys hate him? He's still good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maltbyrocks18 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2007 If you think Ozzie lets in more softies than others in the league, then you obviously don't watch other games. I'm sorry but I see ridiculous goals given up every night while watching other hockey games. Every goalie lets in his share of bad goals, but Ozzie definitely isn't the one that lets in the most. Nowhere near it. I'm not comparing him to the worst goalies in the league, which im sure your doing, im talking about goalies at his caliber, the future maybe hall of famers, which alot of you people here seem to classify him as.

SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted April 6, 2007 It's beyond me how this guy gets ridiculously ripped on over and over and over again. Sometimes I wish he wasn't on the Wings next year so none of us are exposed to these retarded threads. OH MY GOODNESS OSGOOD LET IN A QUESTIONABLE GOAL, CUT OFF HIS NOSE!!!!!!!!!! ARGH HE'S WORSE THAN SATAN!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nobody in their right minds thinks he is one of the best goaltenders in the league, even his "slappie" fans in here, but it is just a flat out joke the people who just hate him with a passion, how some just act like drama queens thinking he is worst than Greg Goldberg of the District-5 Pee Wee Hockey Team. Osgood's no Vezina candidate anymore, but he is not a bad goaltender, I hate to break it to some of you guys who just cannot stand him. If I invested a dollar for every Osgood bashing thread there has been in here, I'd probably be rich by now...

Not in this thread but there on people here that feel hes better than he is, the last thread like this ive been in they were bringing up stats comparing him to brodeur from the 90's saying he should be considered for the hall of fame. Im not saying hes the worst goalie ever. im saying hes not as good as some people try to make him out to be on this thread, just like some people make him out to be horrible when hes not as bad as they say. im just saying hes a C average goaltender that lets in an above average amount of softies. thats all. Im happy with him as a back up. I just hate when people over rate him because of his past. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted April 6, 2007 The Wings scored 2 goals on 58 shots. Hmm... Sounds like Ozzie is to blame for this loss. I mean the Wings' shooting percentage was a torrid 3.4%! How come Joseph and Hasek can get a free pass when the team doesn't score, but with Osgood it's all his fault? Ozzie has played very well this year. The fact that the Wings lost a shootout when they should have won 6-2 in regulation is not OSGOOD'S fault. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OsGOD 3 Report post Posted April 6, 2007 (edited) Wow... I feel dumber just reading this thread. Just glad that many on hear weren't offered the wings job of GM and thankfully, NEVER WILL BE! Ozzie is coming back, move along, get over it, there is nothing more YOU can do to change that.... there is nothing more to see here. wow he let in a stinker... the wings STILL got the point they needed... our best D man and forward were absent from the game physically and the rest were absent from the game mentally.... WOW wtf, who they hell cares about that game... Maybe the OP could of kindly used the search function to find the billion other threads and posted this bandwith wasting topic in there.

Oz is a good enough goalie to be given some sort of credit though, I don't know if he is HHOF worthy, but he is one of the best ever in Detroit. He is second to only Sawchuck in many wings records, I'll pull up facts later with links but i have work, and has 6 30 win seasons on 3 different teams. He isnt the greatest goalie in the league. ANd he can't single handidly win the cup like brodeur, but he always has and still could be a solid #1 in the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted April 6, 2007 Just because his opinion is not praising osgood as if he was a god doesnt mean you have to label this as one of those bashing threads, i actually believe its not a bad thread idea, because it will be interesting to see in the offseason what happens with our goalie situation, actually both starter and back up for that matter. So just your a osgood fan probably and your just disgusted that the dude doesnt support him look beyond that and maybe state your opinion on the subject other than just bashing the guy for trying to have a thread. Well, yes, I'm an Ozzie fan. I'm also a Hasek fan. And even a Cujo fan. But first and foremost, I'm a Wings fan. And this topic has been done TO DEATH. I have no problem with someone expressing their opinions, but it could have just as well been done in any one of the other "OMG OSBAD SUXX0RS TRADE HIM FOR BIRON!!!111" threads. seriously. He kicked things off by saying Osgood is worse than the minor league goaltenders. Think about that statement for a second. You may not like the guy, but let's have a reality check here, okay? Any thread that starts with such an idiotic statement is clearly a bashing thread. As always, harold, you're my hero. Consistent voice of reason, ladies and gentlemen! OH MY GOODNESS OSGOOD LET IN A QUESTIONABLE GOAL, CUT OFF HIS NOSE!!!!!!!!!! ARGH HE'S WORSE THAN SATAN!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, now you're just comparing a goaltender to a right wing... ... *taps mic* Hello? Anyone?

Oddzilla51 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2007 Two words. High glove side. Ok, that's three. Watch his shootouts. Almost every goal that is scored on him is the same thing. High glove side. Scorers know how to beat him. He does the same thing. Drops to his knees on every shot in a shoot-out. They go high glove side, they beat him. It's a fact. Watch the games. In a regular game when he gets support, he plays very well. When it's one on one, he's beatable. Need proof? http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/photo?slug=c1b...107&prov=ap Almost every shootout goal he's given up has been carbon copy of this. But yes, I like Ozzie. He just has to stay on his feet on occassion. Butterfly isn't always the answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
