lets go pavel 2 Report post Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) of course it was refreshed because it seems that I was right with my doubts. Are you ignoring me? Show me a post in this thread where you expressed any doubts! This is pitiful ... it's bad enough that you want to dredge up a post from months ago so you could say "I told you so". Throw in the fact that you didn't actually say what you're claiming you told us, and you just look like an ass.

Guest mindfly Report post Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) A lot of goaltending expert's are saying that osgood's style of play fits better in tight playoff hockey games because he plays so hard on the guy with the puck and during the regular season he mostly gets overplayed and thats why he could look so poorly.... But still he lets atleast a silly goal in every freakin game.. what's that all about? Edited February 5, 2009 by mindfly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember all those great saves in the playoffs last year where he was 2' out of the crease, this year he's getting raped by passes across and scrambles. When the Wings and Osgood are both playing well they are a very good match. Edited February 5, 2009 by digitaljohn88 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedWingAbner 13 Report post Posted February 5, 2009 I see the Osgood supporters point. Ozzie was awesome in the playoffs, so that means he'll be awesome again. Phew! Come to think of it, Chris Chelios should be good for about 45 points, Kris Draper can score 20 goals or so, and Darren McCarty can do it all-- a true power forward. Newsflash, Ozzie fans. Players go fast. Ozzie, regardless of how many games he's played this season, has sucked in about 99% of them. He's finished and is hanging on because he hasn't realized it yet. He's a great guy who did great things, but he's done. But hey, he's undefeated in July, and in games where he doesn't play, he hasn't given up a regulation goal. Stop using ridiculous stats to prop him up. Face reality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CopenhagenWing 38 Report post Posted February 5, 2009 I wouldn't be surprised if Osgood all of a sudden plays lights-out down the stretch and in the playoffs. And I'm not among his biggest fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That way, when someone on LGW wants to wet their panties over how much Ozzie sucks, they have an entire section dedicated to it.. just to make them happy. I don't agree with you often, but I do here. I daresay if it was another Red Wing mired in a bad slump, we wouldn't see a tenth of the threads we've been seeing on Osgood. Nick hasn't been playing at the level we're used to seeing from him....where are the "Lidstrom sucks!" threads? Oh right, that would be sacrilege. I'm sure there's a host of other players on the team right now who aren't performing well.....where are their myriad of threads decrying their existence and calling for their trade/execution? Oh right, there aren't any. Hey guys, how about a little consistency in our hate? Chris Osgood is not playing well. You're not happy, I'm not happy, we're not happy. We are unhappy together. That doesn't mean we need 28394739487 threads talking about how Chris Osgood is not playing well and that you're not happy, I'm not happy and we're not happy. I think at this point, it's understood. It's getting too heavy-handed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's getting too heavy-handed. We know Lidstrom is not playing as good as last season or his prime, but he has been still GOOD and top 5 defenseman in the league, not terrific or NO.1 in the league though. The thing about Osgood is like this. I don't know what people are gonna say to me but we are not the only guys who watch the Wings games. All NHL fans watch the Wings games. After the game thread, even my friends say Osgood is not a bad goalie, but he never be a great goalie. Just because Osgood has won two cups as starting goalies and made a good performance last season, it does not mean he is great. Luongo has never won the cup but people say he is better than Osgood and that is clearly genuine fact. We cannot disagree about that. I think people are relying on Osgood's last season's playoff too much. His save percentage was almost .940 and GAA was 1.30 something like this I cannot remember. But now 50 games are passed and he is not improved near the level we expect him to be. We probably need some changes. Get a good and consistent goalie. If I were Holland, I would choose Backstrom. People will blame me but let's see. This team's solid defenses were cored with Lidstrom but Nick is not playing as good as before. Then, even though we spend big part of our cap on defenses, can we still go on a way as the past? I doubt that. When the Nick is done with his left contract, next season, even though he resigns, I think our defenses cannot be solid as the past again. That's why I think Backstrom is a proper goalie on this team, he is good, consistent, and not very expensive. Still, just my opinion though Edited February 6, 2009 by Wingsallwin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted February 6, 2009 We can discuss it to death, defend and deny the facts, depending on your bias. Ozzie isn't playing well enough to get the Wings out of round one this season. The person who needs to 'know' this - and needs to do something about it - is Ozzie. I am fairly certain he will try his best to play better the rest of the season. He's a professional. If he's lost it, and can't help the team, he will be the one to say so. JMO.
