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

[edicius 3,269]

I bet it was Taco Bell.

You know me too well, bro. It's scary.

[Guest mindfly]

I've given up on this team to win the cup this year, nothing is working.. turovers, defensive meltdowns, brutal goaltending... ugh

[interminded 1]

Imagine if the Wings had a goalie half as good as Mason?

It's hard winning games with a .500 sv% or lower.

So what's your point ?

[Uniblab 12]

I can't believe how many fans are still there.

I just checked CBC during the commercial break. There are tons of empty seats at the Toronto game.

Have the fans finally wised up? Lousy team, owners that don't care, AND they're raising ticket prices!

eric Staal has 4 goals

Ozzie is a great big sieve! Do da! Do da!

Ozzie is a great big sieve! Lets the puck go by! YOU SUCK!

Lets the puck go by! Lets the puck go by! YOU SUCK!

Ozzie is a great big sieve! Lets the puck go by! YOU SUCK, ALL NIGHT LOOOONG!

Real Red Wings fans can stop blowing Osgood long enough to realize that it is his fault.

He was being facetious.

I find it funny when people assume that Osgood playing well in a game means that hes "returned to form." The reality is, for this season, when Osgood plays well its an EXCEPTION to the rule.

[Rivalred 630]

Babcock is keeping Osgood to send a message to the rest of the team....

Time to stop those give-a-ways Wings or it will be a short playoff run this year. To be honest, they play like they do not want it...

[55fan 5,133]

At least there aren't more than 2 games played on Saturdays during each round of the playoffs.

Saturdays just aren't our thing.

Strawberry preserves.

Raspberry preserves.

Wildlife preserves.

This is painful.

I know eh. I still have faith in Ozzie that he could maybe prove himself if he gets a chance in the playoffs but honestly.... yeah. With Mason we'd be killing it. Even when his team isn't doing much to help him out, he keeps them in the game and is more than just 'solid when called upon.' It was an absolute pleasure to watch him back in his OHL days. He's simply incredible for his age (or any age!) and I pray we don't face him in the playoffs..

Definetely more interesting than the game. Taco Bell is actually fun!

08-09 Osgood = 07-08 Hasek

You are just Osbad protector

[BuckeyeWingsfan80 209]

Dats, Zata and Lids are a combined -7 right now.

Draper is actually a +1 by my count.

How weird is that?

[Drake_Marcus 890]

Imagine if the Wings had a goalie half as good as Mason?

Goalies like Mason are tough to draft from the bottom of the board. On the other hand the Wings just drafted a goalie that's putting together a near MVP season in the OHL.

[eva unit zero 271]

Wow. 2nd game in a little over a week I've had to turn off.

There cannot be any rational defending of Osgood following this game. Goals 6 and 7 were absolutely inexcusible.

Goodnight everyone, enjoy the rest of your weekend.

There should not be any bashing of Osgood either. You know why? Because there was no bashing of Conklin after he got us into that Nashville situation. That just proves that Osgood bashing is done has nothing to do with reason or logic.

[Uniblab 12]

Well, it's dark here right now, although it was 78 and sunny earlier. And it's supposed to be 80 and sunny tomorrow!

Aw, rub it in! This winter has been brutal.

[albo23 10]

Are there any free agent goalies? Can we try Daniel Larsson from the Griffins?

Osgood sucks on a consistent basis... conklin does not..

[Electrophile 3,554]

Aw, rub it in! This winter has been brutal.

If it'll make you feel better, we had 6 inches of snow on the ground Monday. Most snow I've had since I left Chicago. It was nice to go outside and mess around in, but I wished we had it for Christmas.

[ChelisChick 174]

Could we put the damn fish in the net and see if he could pull out a win for us? If not, can we just kill it?

[McCartyFanForLife 17]

You are just Osbad protector

No, I'm saying last year Hasek was our #1 goalie and then crapped out and Osgood took over.

This year Osgood is crapping out and Conklin should take over.

Same song, 2nd verse

[ShanahanMan 473]

Hat Trick for Nash!!

[Lidstromrules16 7]

Wow, really Conklin, put OZZY BACK IN!

WHAT?!?! Are you saying Ozzie's 3.16 (and who knows after tonights 16 for 23 or .695) GAA and his .833 SV% is his fault????

Obviously a "fairweather'er" like the rest of Ozzie haters.

Blame goes to any one or all of the following:

a) The defense as a whole.

b) Rafalski specifically -- forget his 51 points and +15

c) Downey who has 2 points in 3 games.

d) The lack of Leino and Helm -- Would have never happened. Wait, were they in the lineup for the Nash. massacre?

e) Bad bounces -- So unfair.

f) Cup Hangover -- It's real, it exists, and no 6 months and more then 2/3 into the season is the usual length of this.

g) Elements we don't know about, but definitely exist -- Obviously.

h.) Conkllin
