2/15 GDT: Avalanche 6, Red Wings 5 (SO)

[puckloo39 5,686]

could we please keep a lead, just once in a while?

[YoungGuns1340 1]

Oh yeah, I forgot about the to proven cup winning goalies you just mentioned. They have what, 4 - 5 cups between the two of them?

Wait, Mason will make 1 million when he's 30ish? Be honest and use basic logic.

You're getting oversensitive and running into hyperbole that wasn't even in the topic at hand. You stated that goalies making 1.5M aren't expected to win the Vezina. Fact is, there are some that are - namely Mason and Lundqvist. And the fact that they are or were making less than 1M because they are on rookie contracts is actually a testament to their play, not in opposition of it. Who expects rookie goaltenders to win the Vezina?

I love Ozzie. I will always love Ozzie. You all know this, I've defended him quite staunchly on here.

But damn if sometimes he doesn't make it hard for me to do it.

wtf. when is this going to stop? how can we sign big name forwards without worrying about the goaltending situation? i want hossa and franz but they cant win cups without goaltending!

[Wingsallwin 0]

another example we have to score a lot to win when Osgood is in the net.

[Systemfel 33]

What's with Colorado's bottom liners always scoring on us?

[gowings00 545]

Ozzie....just like a sniper...One Shot....One Goal...

[akustyk 84]

can we finally seat Osgood and start Conklin who at least doesn't blow

team effort?

I'm not an Oz basher but am officially fed up with his softies

[Yak19 303]

Can't defend Osgood anymore, sorry.

Whether we win or lose this one it was epic fail, WE ARE PLAYING THE AVS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! THE BOTTOM FEEDERS OF THE WEST!

[Wings_Rule_1010 4]

This game is chaotic. I feel like anything could go in on either net.

[Vincanni 1]

Ozzies a great guy, but he's absolutely hopeless in net this year. I don't think I've seen rebound control as bad as his pretty much ever.

[Guest DetroitBoy313]

I'm literally speechless.Really,this is just getting........I don't even have words for what is going on with all these goals against.

Half-assed hater...

[marcaractac 3,963]

lard tunderin' we needs a hat trick!!!!

[PenaltyShot 96 521]

Looked like it rolled up his stick. I'm not an "apologist," but sometimes a guy can get unlucky. Ozzie needs velcro on his pads to help the puck stick lol.

[YoungGuns1340 1]

*a* deflection or *that* deflection with the same sluggish defense as Detroit has as of late?

Let me guess, Mason would have had it...

The chances that Mason would've had it versus Osgood are considerable, yes. And if all these goals are the defenses fault, whats the point of employing a goaltender? What you're suggesting is that the Wings defense should be stopping the goals, not Osgood. That doesn't exactly flow with your logic - I guess we should just bench Osgood or buy him out, because clearly our defense is the one that should be stopping the goals.

FIXED LOL

Half-assed hater...

Au contraire, I am not a hater. I don't hate anyone on the Red Wings.

I just don't understand how anyone can think this team is the favorite to win the Stanley Cup. This has got to be the worst defensive Wings team since the 80's. I mean really. There hasn't been one game this season, ONE GAME, that I felt the Wings just dominated at every end of ice the whole game, when last year they did it practically every night.

[dat's sick 1,002]

We now interrupt the Ozzie bashing for this message:

Filppula is having a great game.

[Z and D for the C 712]

Another great play by flip. He holds onto the puck like none other.

[BuckeyeWingsfan80 209]

hudler!

[dat's sick 1,002]

Huds! Wooo!
