haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted January 16, 2009 Conklin is playing well, but I think a 50/50 split remains our best option. I don't like that he's completely unproven in the playoffs (let alone any pressure situation), but if Ozzy can't elevate his play before the end of the season we might have to go with Conklin. Exactly. Legace was a great regular season goalie. The playoffs are a different story. I think it'd be best to keep splitting the workload and hopefully Ozzy will get his game back together in time for the postseason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest mindfly Report post Posted January 16, 2009 I mean why not go with the goalie who's smokin hot right now, they will definitely need it against the best team, wasn't he also in the net when wings won 6-0 against sharks last time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedWingedKitten 9 Report post Posted January 16, 2009 The game in SJ a big chance for Osgood. He'll be praised him if he wins, and roasted if he loses. GO OZZY! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, Conks was in net. I think (I could be wrong) because Ozzie had that groin injury. Let's just hope that Ozzie is having one of his good nights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stormboy 47 Report post Posted January 16, 2009 Gah, babcock said Osgood will start against the sharks s***. The game in SJ a big chance for Osgood. He'll be praised him if he wins, and roasted if he loses. GO OZZY! qft. i mean, i love ozzie, and i do have confidence in him (i thought he actually played well in dallas--it was the absolute defensive collapse that lost us the game), but like others have said, why not ride the hot goalie? i love conks, too. ozzie has posted a 3.30-ish GAA over his last seven; conks is at about 1.58 GAA over that span. why not go with the guy whose season GAA is almost a full goal lower, whose save percentage is almost .040 higher, and who dominated the sharks last game. but maybe babs has a good feeling and wants ozzie to get a win over a good team. let's hope to hell he's right. god, i start getting nervous about 24 hours before every sharks game.

Pasha13 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2009 I was at the Dallas game monday night, and Ozzie did well, honestly...some of the stuff he stopped had everybody in the building going absolutely batsh**...and when he did get scored on it seemed like there were 8 skaters in the slot...our guys were NOT keeping them to the outside...except for one from the point where Maltby looked like he gave up on the play bigtime...but Osgood played infinitely better in his first two games back from the injury...I just wonder now who our team plays better in front of, because that may be an issue.
