lets go pavel 2 Report post Posted June 2, 2008 I'll try not to mention Top Notch Goalie too often, but serioulsy, I'm very suprised with the lack of concern over our goaltending for the upcoming playoffs. Forget regular season, you should all know that, make the playoffs with home ice and your in the best possible position you can be, there are no byes in the NHL. Is no one worried that our top goalie, Hasek, is injury prone and might not be able to play the entire playoffs and given that we don't have a serious top notch goalie that can bring us the cup. You need consistent top goaltending and someone that can make a few game winning saves! Ozzie is a backup and his days are over. Without a good performance from our offense and defense he can't win us games. He is and never will be a top notch goalie despite what many of you think. He's always had a top team in front of him outplaying the opposing team and limiting the number of good chances on him. He was shown at the all-star game that he can't compete with the big boys, not too mention he can't control rebounds. We need to trade Ozzie at his bargain salary, while many still think that, and get someone like Toskala who the leafs are willing to deal. This would solidify our Stanley Cup Run without a doubt!!! Other Top Notch Goalies would be available for Osgood plus possible combination of prospects/picks. Howard would be great as a backup until he's ready later down the road to take over number 1, but in 2008-2009 we cannot play with Osgood as a Starter, mark my roads. If Hasek goes down in the playoffs, were done, even if we pickup Hossa or Sundin and another D Man. Make it happen Kenny!!! here's my personal favorite ... seems appropriate right about now ...

It got me so stoked, i'm beyond ready for another cup. Let's go boys, get it done at home tonight. "Mccarty draws, McCarty in, McCarty... SCORES!!! A MAGNIFICANT GOAL!! DARREN MCCARTY!" Still give me tingles. Edited June 2, 2008 by BlazeYoungblood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
