Osgood spectacular in losing effort

Well written article. Nice to see the players understand they let Ozzie down.

I really thought the Wings would ride off of Ozzy's two huge saves at the end of the 2nd period. They did not. Saving it for Game 7, I hope.

He played well enough to win, no doubt.

I really don't like reading comments like this, though:

“You’re asking ‘what happened’ to the wrong guy,†Osgood said afterward.

Maybe it's out of context, but that's kind of a questionable quote, especially given that the GWG wasn't exactly the greatest play in the history of hockey.

Good, they know they let Ozzie down when he was standing on his head.

They'll be determined to win on friday and come out guns blazing.

You are right. Ozzy could have probably made both saves. But, there was absolutely no defensive support on the play, and that is completely unacceptable whether it's Chris Osgood, or Martin Brodeur in goal.

Ozzie does sometimes come off as a little arrogant, but we don't know if that's taken out of context or what. He was probably pretty pissed too. I mean the man kept the Wings in it for the first 2 periods. That second goal was crap but there's only so much you can do when your team leaves garbage around the net.

I agree completely. I don't know what Samuelsson was thinking, and neither of our D were anywhere to be found. That goal was weak sauce for a lot of reasons.

I just hate seeing quotes like that. There are plenty of ways to answer that question (which I assume was something along the lines of "Chris, what happened tonight?" without essentially saying something along the lines of "Don't ask me. I was amazing."

Ozzie is sarcastic for every interview... which is why he gives the best ones
