3/7 GDT: Blue Jackets 8 at Red Wings 2

[AtlantaHotWings 1,144]

Notice what Mickey has been saying the last few minutes....

Defense wins championships and as he said there needs to be a recommitment to that part of the game or........

[ShanahanMan 473]

I dont expect any goalie to let in goals like that. Im not defending Ozzie, but your blind if you dont think that was weak, back up or not

I never said it wasn't weak, in fact my post implied it was. I just said it pisses me off a lot more that Osgood can't stop ANY of those kind of shots while Conks may miss em once in a while.

[dicksmack 33]

Rafalski has been prone to a lot of costly giveaways this year.

[Electrophile 3,554]

Yummy! I'll make brownies for dessert!

After this game, you better put something in them. How about Valium?

<big hug>

*clings* make it stoooooooop!!!!!!

[BuckeyeWingsfan80 209]

Rick nash has 3 unassisted goals

Damn....that guy OWNS the Wings. Maybe HOlland should let Hossa and Franzen go and resign Nash in the summer of 2010...

What a coincidence. Both the tigers and the wings lost/losing 8-2. How depressing.

Its funny with Ozzie because it seems like he makes the tougher saves, but for every tough one he makes, he lets in like 7 weak ones

Oh wise and wonderful Mickey, you hit the nail on the head again.

[edicius 3,269]

And I'm stuck at work for at least another 2 hours tonight. Ugh. Not a great Saturday night at all.

I like the defensive system that Columbus is playing especially because our defense coach, Brad McCrimmon, can't realize the system Detroit is currently playing with is standard bulls*** play, throw the puck up the boards, play a weak box, no flushing out guys behind the net.

Anyways, the Red Wings probably won't win the Cup this year. If Detroit gets to the Western Conference final I doubt they'll take out San Jose.

[BlueMonk 102]

Christ, after watching this game, I think I need someone to hold me, too!

[sureWhyNot 19]

Reason and Logic in a GDT ?

When Chris Osgood is playing ?

You must be kidding....

You have to realize "Eva" not only shouldn't be using the terms rationale and logic, I really don't think he knows what they mean.

Has Conklin let in bad goals? f*** yes.

But the "Osgood bashing" probably has more to do with this:

GAA

Conklin - 8th among all goalies with 20 or more games with a 2.38 GAA

Osgood - 4th from last among all goalies with 20 or more games (39th to be exact) with a 3.25 GAA

SV%

Conklin - 15 among all goalies with 20 or more games with a .914

Osgood - DEAD LAST (40th to be exact) among all NHL goalies with 20 or more games with a .883

Now that may -- I am not sure -- be why there is a tendency for people to criticize Ozzie more so then they do Conklin. But what do I know anyways.

I could probably dig up a Demorol or 2. Serve them with a 5th of Jack Daniels.

[Carman 387]

Can the Red Wings get some consistency coming towards the playoffs please?

[Uniblab 12]

Christ, after watching this game, I think I need someone to hold me, too!

I'd oblige, but I don't think my hubby would approve.

*crushes BlueMonk* Make me forget!

[Electrophile 3,554]

Could have DVR'd it but actually forgot the Wings were playing.

Since you're not a typical Ozzie basher, what happened?

Bad defense in the 1st led to two cheap tip-in goals and the floodgates of hell opened up from there. It was an avalanche of suck. I won't lie, he was crap tonight but so was everyone else. I mean, just sluggish play and s***ty turnovers left and right.

[edicius 3,269]

I'm not a "OMG TEH SKY IS FALLING!!!!!111" type, but I'm fully bracing myself for an embarrassing first round exit this year. *sigh*

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

The only positive out of this game is Downey scored, god I love that guy.

[WindyCityWingsFan 0]

Oh well, looks like it will be an early exit from the playoffs with our goal tending and defense playing like this.

[Wings_Rule_1010 4]

I am trying to debate? Who was worse today: Ozzie or Rafalski? It is a toss up.

[55fan 5,133]

*crushes BlueMonk* Make me forget!

Shameless hussy

Believe me, he knows what they mean !

He's a good guy.

[Blaayze 25]

So how much alcohol has everyone consumed to get through this one?
