We Got A Jumper!

I know the Ozzie homers here will bash me for this, but he hasn't cut it lately. Although he hasn't played poorly, he was an all-star and got GOD-like status here on LGW just for winning games when we were outshooting teams 40-15 every night. Now when we need him to steal some games like "elite" goalies always do, he gets outplayed by Garon of all people. In fact, the only win he has in his last 7 or 8 games is against Colorado, who we beat 4-0. I know we have injuries, but if he's as good a goalie as people around here think he is, then he sure isn't showing it now that the chips are low and the team really needs him, especially with Hasek hurt. Apparently he only looks good when the guys around him are playing well.

P.S.

I know some idiot posters will tell me to root for Tampa instead of complaining about our goaltending, but don't even bother.

You please show me where Garon or any other goalie has been stealing games w/o their top 4 defensemen. Please, show me. I know Smid, Pitkanen and Souray are out for the Oilers, but do you really think those guys mean as much to their team as Lids, Rafs, Kronner or Cheli?

Yes I do. Having your top 4 defensemen out means the same thing for all teams. It means they have to call up guys that aren't regulars. It appears that Edmonton's backups were better than ours. We've seen the Wings constantly get beat in the playoffs by teams they're a lot more talented than, but who have hot goalies. All I meant in my post is that it'd be nice if Ozzy the all-star GOD as he's made out to be here on LGW, would steal a few games for us when we're undermanned. That, unfortunately hasn't happened.

I know what you mean, I was just saying that at least the Oilers had some of their top d guys in last night. I think Staios and Greene are a lot more solid than Lilybad and Lebda, but that's personal opinion. Ozzie played a lot better yesterday than the stats said, but I suppose he didn't steal one for the Wings.

ozzie played wicked last nite, he made some unreal saves when are d were scrambling, if it weren't for him we would not of got that point, and on another note i'm pleased with the way kenny played this deadline, the pool was pretty dry to begin with, and the asking prices were ubsurded

Ugh...I'm sick of Dats doing the same thing in the shootout. He always dekes right...then either shoots off the backhand or dekes left and shoots off the forehand.

And I honestly think the delay of game penalty is the dumbest penalty out there. Not just because we lost, but it's just dumb man. See...something as stupid as an unintentional puck over the glass changed the outcome of the game. If that happens in the playoffs....woo, you're gonna have some really pissed off fans.

Excellent post. I can understand why they have the rule, but in end, I would like to see the rule revoked.
