RedLightGoesOn 81 Report post Posted April 21, 2008 I havent heard Babcocks comments about who the main guy is after todays game. Last time I heard anything it was Hasek is getting a break and is going to practice and get out of thus rut. Tell you what... come Game 1 of the Western Semis, we will know.

b.shanafan14 733 Report post Posted April 21, 2008 i just hope they dont yank ozzie after his first loss. it wouldnt be fair. That is definately my concern too, just because of how things have been this whole year. Just kinda how Babs seems to be leaning towards Hasek all season and at times I feel talks up to Dom's ego and down plays Ozzy's role in a win. That said, I hope Osgood continues to be solid, you can't argue with his play and his numbers are speaking to confirm that. 1 goal allowed in the slot with an extra skater in two and a half games. 98.1% save percentage. Period. And the biggest thing for me has always been Osgood's character and his ability to remain calm after a goal. After the series became 2-2 in the manner it did, Osgood between the pipes has seemed to have a tremendous calming presence on the ice. In my opinion, I thought Ozzy was the better goaltender all year, I didn't feel comfortable with Dom in goal due to his down time and inconsistent play, and my fears there came true in the form of two quick goals not once, not twice, not thrice, but 4 times. But now that the series is over, I think it happened in the best way it could, Dom losing the job, Osgood taking ownership of the net through strong play, a series behind us and a more solid goaltending situation out of it.
