clutchngrab 12 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 All started by Osggods crap handling of the puck. I really don't see how anyone can objectively watch this goalie and think this is the playoff goalie. I really don't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedWingedKitten 9 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 You can't blame Osgood on that last play... the defense let those guys just chill in the slot uncontested, and it was Datsyuk who turned it over behind the net. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 Wow. The momentum shift in this game really gives this game a playoff feel. Another late minute goal just really sucked the life out of the Joe. And we've really, REALLY, got to work on the powerplay. It's been just dismal as of late. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 I'm gonna PISSED if we get booted out of the playoffs simply because we lose the goaltending battles. There are 18 skaters on the ice, and every last one of ours are outplaying theirs. Yet the game is tied. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuckeyeWingsfan80 209 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) and let the LGW meltdown begin.... Osgood simply missing the puck aside, how the f*** can 4 Wings be around the play and not ONE of them getting in the way of the puck? That was a complete lack of "wanting it" if I've ever seen one.... Edited April 5, 2009 by BuckeyeWingsfan80 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,804 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 Once again Ozzie is being outplayed by the other team's goalie. Imagine if he had to face all those chances our opponents have to face. His save percentage would be even worse than what it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest mindfly Report post Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) Osgood is overplaying pretty much every situation, i just can't believe how he can say he's feeling really good and confident.. he lacks everything Edited April 5, 2009 by mindfly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 I really don't see how anyone can objectively watch this goalie and think this is the playoff goalie. I really don't. Yeah, how can anyone think a goalie that's won 3 cups (2 as the starter) can get it done? That's just madness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McCartyFanForLife 17 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 that goal was not Osgood's fault. The defenseman left his post and a guy was wide open in front of the net. Then all the players came scrambling back, but it was too late. Conklin wouldn't have stopped that either... ignorant fans... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
titanium2 867 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 Anyone else notice that NBC is promoting Zetterberg in the same manner as Crosby and Ovechkin? I can see the Wild threads now, "Zetterberg Zetterberg Zetterberg Zetterberg Zetterberg Zetterberg Zetterberg BIG DRIVE!!! Zetterberg Zetterberg Zetterberg Zetterberg."

betterREDthandead 58 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 How the heck does Ozzie get so out of position on that....He's been an NHL goalie for how long and can't position himself at all anymore. There's no way you can pin that on Ozzie. So many opposing players in front of the net, there's no right place to be. Defensive breakdown led to that goal, plain and simple.

Guest MrSandMan Report post Posted April 5, 2009 All started by Osggods crap handling of the puck. That's all on the D. Ozzie played it perfect to the Defenseman and he gave it up.

I agree, but have the Wild not left Backstrom alone with a few Wings in front about 10 times already this game? Have we scored 10 goals? Its come down to this - Osgood HAS to save some goals. The defense has been great tonight. You can't have them worrying that if they make ONE mistake, its in the net. Because thats how its been all year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sureWhyNot 19 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) I am so sick of Osgood it is not even worth fuming about anymore. He is absolutely, unequivocally, the worst goalie in the NHL, starting or otherwise. I don't care we won cups with him in the past - it was great, but the past doesn't win you games in the present. The only thing that comes close to my Osgood induced nausea is the people (you know who you are) who refuse to face reality and continue to coddle his inept ass horrid game after horrid game. The list starts from George "I don't write about it unless I can whine about it" Malik, all the way down to the sh*t goaltending enablers on these boards. He is a joke -- plain and simple. It hasn't been a bad game here and there, it is bad game every time he is between the pipes. It's a shame that we will probably not repeat this year (though I pray I am wrong) all because a goalie who is capable of winning simply cannot get over his "issues". Ozzie is showing us today with his jaw dropping 13 saves on 15 shots, with both goals being jokes (the first one assisted by Osgood himself), that he is ready to lead us in the playoffs.

Phazon 24 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) and as usual red wings has shot twice the amount of shots on the opposite goaltender and yet osgood has let in a couple on half of that. Book this as another loss. Edited April 5, 2009 by Phazon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Minnesota's goalie this game alone has saved the team's bacon numerous times. Wings have one defensive flub and the puck ends up rolling into the back of the net. LOOK at Osgood's positioning on that play, its absolutely horrific. He's so focused on cutting down the angle on every shot, that he ends up overplaying and overthinking situations.
