Z and D for the C 712 Report post Posted October 12, 2008 Well they're going to split games, just not as much as Dom and Ozzie did last season. It was pretty much a 1/1 split last year, this year it'll probably be more like 3/1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was pretty much a 1/1 split last year, this year it'll probably be more like 3/1. So, you're predicting Ozzie to start 62 games? That seems a bit much to me. Personally, I'd like Ozzie to start only 50-55. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maltbymaniac 13 Report post Posted October 12, 2008 im betting it will be almost a 41 game split,give or take a game or six. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CaliWingsNut Report post Posted October 12, 2008 My guess is ozzy does 55 reg. season games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P. Marlowe 748 Report post Posted October 12, 2008 I think Babcock or Holland said somewhere that they're trying to get Osgood to start about 50-55 games. That would make it 2/1. Last year was a split because Hasek was injured so much. When Hasek was healthy he played more than Osgood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last year was a split because Hasek showed his age more the longer the season went on. Fixed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P. Marlowe 748 Report post Posted October 12, 2008 Fixed. That was unnecessary. It's not news for anyone that he was old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CaliWingsNut Report post Posted October 12, 2008 yar... I'm in an spunky mood today. I agree, just felt that his injuries had little to do with management's decisions to go 50/50. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylee 727 Report post Posted October 12, 2008 hmm the Wings better score more goals than last year to win around the same amount of games they did! even though i wasnt much of a hasek fan while he was here, he was obviously better than conklin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we get '07-'08 Conklin, it would be a push compared to '07-'08 Hasek. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haha, I was just gonna post that. But then I thought, well its just as likely that Eastern Conference players would know Conklin's tendencies, so its not necessarily a good thing.
