Either or, but Edmonton had issues scoring like Columbus does so Edmonton might be the better comparison....

But Columbus is big as the Flames were, and had a hot goalie who came out of no where.

Thanks Rafalski. *sigh*

To be fair- Ericsson recovered well on his gaff near centre ice. He played his man exactly like he was supposed to. How did Rafalski fail to make that clear? Fricking ice it if you have to- the Wings are the best face-off team in the league.

Brutal.

Osgood sucks. Osgood sucks. Stop blaming the D. It's bad goaltending.

You dont understand hockey if you think this game has been bad goaltending, all 3 are on the defence. They make about 3-4 mistakes per shift, we're lucky were such a good team or it could be wrose most nights.

So when is a Columbus player going to hand the Wings a goal or two or three?

Usually, the majority of teams in the NHL have a goalie who can actually stop the puck from going into the net when a D/forward makes a mistake. Osgood can only stop weak shots, and is unable to make even a moderately difficult save.

Now, I hope guys need to realize the importance of the goalie. Mason is covering up some big saves against us. When both Franzen and Hossa will be FA, we do not have to sign both. Regard the season Nick's season is over, let's get Luongo. We need a good goalie. If we sign with both Hossa and Franzen, what is our ridiculous goaltending gonna be? Osgood and Howard? I am not blaming those two goalies but can we go far with them next season? Hell no.

Is BJ defense playing great right now? No, but Mason is covering up their faults. I am not saying Osgood is playing bad right now. I am only talking about only the importance of goalie. This BJ team looks like 05-06 season's Oilers with Rolloson, who killed us. Same with 03-04 season's Flames, which played very hard and beat us.

We just look lazy right now. We had 3 days break before this game. Well, maybe Mason turns back to his games after a little slump but come on, this game is just brutal. Why can we not play with full effort when we play against Preds, Jackets, and some other weak teams?
