Columbus Columnist: Osgood is Wings' Weak Link

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

I hate to agree with the columnist but Osgood IS our weakest link.

That being said, Osgood is playing great, so if he is our weakest link, what does that say about how the rest of the team is playing? On a team where Osgood is your weakest link, I would totally being shatting my pants when I see the rest of the team!

That is probably what he meant, On a team of greatness, Osgood is the least great. But still great none-the-less, just not as great as the rest of the team. And that is the hometown spin on that article.

Anyone read the Posts under the column I thought this was a Insightful one to say the least,

I guess He does not like Osgood at all

"Osgood is the weakest part of this team. He's surrounded by top notch talent, has been the entire time he's been in Detroit. Go look at his numbers with the Islanders and Blues. Average at best. When the playoffs start the Wings buck up on the defense because they know if Osgood has to face 30 or more shots a game, he can't pull it off. If he gets in the hockey hall of fame, they should burn the building down."

Yeah! <_< OK

I am by no means an Ozzie kool-aider, but this guy is a complete moron.

Speaking of weak links.....Is Rick Nash really an all-star? All I think when I see that guy is that quote that Tommy Lee Jones had in Cobb:

"He moves pretty well for a fat man"

I disagree respectfully of course, the 4th line is easily this teams weakest link. Helm is the only one ive really been impressed with so far with all the big hits hes been throwing.

WOW. That just set me the hell off.

Of course it's from a columnist in Columbus. Jackass.

We can like, buy a typewriter, jam his face in the paper part, and type "askfajslagdsl" all over it.

Obviously this guy knows nothing about Detroit fans. No one, and I mean NO ONE, can turn on a goalie faster than us. We sure as hell aren't going to chant his name to "buck him up;" more like tar and feather him first.

If Ozzie is our weakest link, I'll take it. Gladly.

I don't think fans are cheering his name to bolster his confidence. It's more like "Welcome back! Where the hell have you been all season?!"

The fourth line is pretty bad but because of the important role of goaltender, Ozzy isn't necessarily the weakest link, but he sure is the biggest question mark for the Wings postseason.

and that journalist need not fear. A couple bad goals and Wings fans will turn on him faster than you can say Osbad.

Ok, if Osgood shouldn't make the hall of fame, then if this D-Bag can show me what goalie in the hall of fame did not have a good defense and other players in front of him, then i will take back all of the bad things I just said about his buckeyea$$.

Look, these Buckeye people did the samething when Michigan was owning Columbus, they remember when breakfast was $2.10, yeah Michigan was 10-2 vs Ohio State when Cooper was there, they will never have a winner. Columbus= so close, but so far away. Look at Christopher Columbus, not exactly the first one to the Americas either, so instead he had to rap and pillage the people that did get here first, no different from this d-bag!!

Sorry for the history, but as we all know, history always repeats itself!!

GO WINGS!!!

Look, all I'm saying is when the chips are down in Columbus, they have to turn to smashing the teams that smash them! In this instance, its Ozzie, I wonder who it will be when Michigan beats Ohio State or for that matter Michigan State beats the Buckeyes!

Actually, he is 100% correct. It would probably be a league consensus that if the wings get equal goaltending to any opponent, they win hands down. They have the best offense in the league, CORRECT? The blueline, at least on paper, is also as strong as any other in the league, CORRECT? So what does that leave? I don't interpret this column as saying that Ozzie is not any good, but rather, as is consistently stated throughout, that he is merely the weakest link of a superior squad. So, what is the *****?

Well, not quite correct. Ozzie's been just about flawless. In fact, not quite correct isn't even descriptive enough. It's downright stupid for them to suggest that. Mason has been worse than Ozzie, and Mason is in all likelihood going to get a trophy. It's just a Blue Jackets writer being anal about his team losing two and looking for something to stir up about the Wings.

The article said Osgood was fighting shots and that the team in front of him was making him "appear" stalwart.

In other words, the article was saying that Osgood is not playing well, but because the rest of the Wings are playing so amazingly it's not immediately noticable.

Never mind that Osgood has been named first star two games in a row. Let's see if he can stretch that streak to four!

If we take off our red colored glasses, it's hard to dispute that if the Wings do have a weakest link, it has to be goaltending. How many of the 15 other remaining teams would trade forwards with them? How about top 3 defense pairings? Now, how about starting goaltenders? Anybody who would not give the lowest number to the third question hasn't been watching the same team I have. Sure Ozzie has been named 1st star two games in a row and he has played light years better the 1st two playoff games than he did during the regular season. But the fact remains that the general premise of the article is correct....Ozzie IS the weakest link.
