At least he's money when it comes to the shootout. :D

Highest winning pct (min 4 shootouts)

Chris Osgood DET 4/4 = 1.000

Peter Budaj COL 6/7 = 0.857

Ryan Miller BUF 6/7 = 0.857

H. Lundqvist NYR 7/9 = 0.778

Manny Legace STL 3/4 = 0.750

Carey Price MTL 5/8 = 0.625

Dany Sabourin PIT 3/5 = 0.600

Steve Mason CBJ 3/5 = 0.600

Marty Turco DAL 4/8 = 0.500

A. Niittymaki PHI 2/4 = 0.500

J. MacDonald NYI 2/4 = 0.500

Tomas Vokoun FLA 2/4 = 0.500

Highest save pct (min 10 shots)

Jonas Hiller ANA 16/19 = 0.842

Chris Osgood DET 10/12 = 0.833

H. Lundqvist NYR 21/26 = 0.808

Ty Conklin DET 8/10 = 0.800

Ryan Miller BUF 20/25 = 0.800

S.Clemmensen NJD 9/12 = 0.750

Dany Sabourin PIT 14/19 = 0.737

Martin Biron PHI 10/14 = 0.714

R. Luongo VAN 15/21 = 0.714

Carey Price MTL 17/24 = 0.708

Peter Budaj COL 17/24 = 0.708

Conklin also doing very well at 8/10. Together they are 18/22. Top shootout tandem in the league! lmao. :thumbup:

Now we just need to get Ozzy to stop 10/12 regular breakaways.

Rangers really benefit from the shootout with Lundy in goal :o

I guess if those are the stats, we should be trying to take every game to a shootout then?? I think I'd prefer we got back to allowing more like 2 goals a game, while keeping the scoring up there around 4 per game. Nice to see Ozzie isn't the worst in the league in at least 1 stat this season though....poor Ozzie, can't understand what's gone wrong with him this year.

Nice stats. What I find interesting is that Osgood's W-L-OT is 16-4-6. So with Osgood in goal Wings haven't lost a shootout, but they have lost 6 games in overtime. Before you posted this I thought that at least some of those were shootout losses.

this just confuses the issue even further as far as I'm concerned-

If Oz has the talent to carry a .833% one on one vs the better shooters of various teams, why in the hell is he only pushing .880% with his team in front of him? Obviously he's got the talent to stop the shots so where is it?

Well, it is based on 12 shootout attempts, so you can't really take that number and compare it to a seasons worth of shots.

Sure Osgood has the talent. That shouldn't just disappear during one summer. I think that's why Babcock is still playing him - in hope that he would play up to his talent. Maybe Osgood should be taken to a psychologist who'd hypnotise him and make his head sharp again.

I readily admit I have never played goalie, but I would imagine it's apples and oranges. Obviously a shootout is 1-on-1 ... you know who's shooting, it's just a matter of when and where, and your rebounds don't matter. In a game I would think it's completely different ... more passing, more traffic, and lots of second chance shots. Also, having a team in front of you isn't always a benefit.

Maybe we need to deal Ozzie off to a suckbus team again, it seemed to make him play better last time.

or we make Conks the starter and give Oz something to PROVE. and he seems to do better when he has something to PROVE

Are we blaming Ozzie for a win or not...I just need clarification. Maybe that's not even an issue here, I'm so confused. He gets blamed for the losses but not the wins, so I don't get it.

Keep up the good work, Oz!

Yeah it is apples and oranges, but you've GOT TO have some talent to stop shooters 1 on 1. And the team in front of you thing... that's what I was kinda getting at. I don't think I've seen so many shots end up in the twine off of freindly players/from freindly players here lately it's unfortunate.

Its a sign that he lets of the gas when he has defense in front of him. And why not? They won the cup next year and still have Lids, Rafalski, Kronwall, Stuart, and even Lilja is playing like a top 4 defensman. And if you look at all his weak goals, a lot of them seem to be just him playing slow or lazy, like his head isn't completely in the game. Obviously he is a bit more composed when its the shootout and he's the only one out there. But my official diagnosis is that he's a little too confident in the team playing in front of him (whether consciously or not).

"I feel real good out there. I feel sharp and confident. I feel the tide is turning and pretty soon I'm going to get on a huge roll and things are going to go real good here."

I like the confidence, hopefully it shows more in his game soon.

I don't think he's lost his ability. It seems to be all in his head. Anyone else notice that as soon as the Wings get a 2 or more goal lead, he goes to s***? I think he's afraid of blowing the lead, which in turn causes him to blow the lead. It just seems like he plays better if the score is close. :rolleyes:

He has shown flashes of what he can do lately. I'd like to see a full game of it on Saturday or Sunday. :)

I'm with you. I love that he doesn't beat himself up over thing and that he's confident in his abilities.

Even though he's not playing up to par, I still love Ozzie.
