MississippiWing 14 Report post Posted January 3, 2009 Or does Rafalski seem to be stepping up? He's played really well over the last couple of games and seemed to making better and more smart decisons in the Winter Classic than previously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheOwl 77 Report post Posted January 3, 2009 ^ If Ozzy plays bad tomor night, he should be traded or sent to the minors for the remainder of his contract. He's the worst goalie in the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted January 3, 2009 ^ If Ozzy plays bad tomor night, he should be traded or sent to the minors for the remainder of his contract. He's the worst goalie in the league. Wow. I think I love you. Oh wait, no I don't, Trolly McTrollerton. Not the worst goalie in the league. Not even close. And considering how much - or rather how little - he gets paid ($1.4M), he's fine. Look to a Turco to see a poor, well-paid ($5.7M) goaltender this season. And back to the original topic, yes, Rafalski has definitely looked much better. The D as a whole has looked better, from Lidstrom on down (Lilja still being the most consistent of the D-men, despite an uncharacteristically sloppy showing during the first period of the Winter Classic). And when the D starts looking better, the offense starts clicking more. When the offense starts clicking more, we have clinics on the ice (San Jose, Chicago, etc.). This team still has a ways to go to make me truly believe that we can repeat as Cup champs, but they're well on their way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Secret 304 Report post Posted January 3, 2009 I also thought that Lebda has been looking quite a bit better the last few games. I feel like I should wash my mouth out with soap after this but even Lilja has been pretty good too.... **Gag** Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheOwl 77 Report post Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) It was a joke guys! But seriously, he is the worst goalie right now. Conklin should be the #1. How long can the Wings really wait for Osgood to get his game together? Edited January 3, 2009 by TheOwl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How long can the Wings really wait for Osgood to get his game together? Certainly didn't sound like a joke. The Wings have until March or April to "wait" for Osgood to get his game together. Unless the Wings oversleep everyday, they are making the playoffs. Osgood and Conklin have plenty of time to try to round into top form then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shoreline Report post Posted January 3, 2009 Raffy has stepped up his game recently but I hope not to see again the Raffy we saw for the first few dozen games this season making terrible giveaways and playing rather poorly defensively for what he's paid.

Zion 93 Report post Posted January 3, 2009 I think Osgood should be drawn and quartered if he loses tonight, regardless of the score? There. Is that good enough for you? You probably still look back to 2001 and blame Ozzy for Adam Deadmarsh's goal and wish he'd end up in Long Island again with all of your other favorite has-beens, huh?

How long can the Wings really wait for Osgood to get his game together? How can Ozzie get better by not playing? Ozzie needs to get some starts when he feels healthy enough and improve from there. Ozzie isn't going to get his game together by watching Conklin play from the bench. I do think Conklin has outplayed Ozzie, but nowhere near the extent some people make it out to be around here. Winning games is the most important barometer. Ozzie has only lost in regulation twice this season. There's room for improvement from Ozzie and the rest of the team as well. As long as the Red Wings keep getting two points, I am willing to let Ozzie get some starts to build up his confidence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
