Exactly. I'm no Osgood apologist, but when the puck is on Datsyuk's stick, you're not expecting a shot coming at you a second later.

But cmon it's his job to expect the puck could come at him at any time. They was a retarted play out front, but Osgood was not ready. We can't score, but when we do they screw us. We play medioccre defense and we can't get a stop for our lives. Can't take this s*** again tonight.

A good goalie is ready for one anyways. He looks like he has the worst five-hole in hockey.

If your best friend walks up to you .. would you expect him to punch you in the face? if he did would it be YOUR fault?

Weird night all together.... would of happened to Howard too..

It was a weird play, but he was in position just not concentrating. He left his five hole wide open and his stick was in the air. It was a lack of focus. When a team is struggling NHL goaltenders have to make those kind of saves if the team is going to win.

watch the replay. He's tracking the puck the whole time and getting ready to move side to side. If he had gone down, he would've taken himself out of the position if the puck made it to the Flames player on the right side.

I can see faulting him for a weak 5 hole, but it's not like he zoned out. He's keyed into the puck the whole time and is in a position to make a quick move. He clearly wasn't expecting a shot of Datsyuk's stick.

either way, Osgood has not been strong, but that's one of many problems the team is having right now.

It should be, at best, 1-1 after the first, but it's 0-2 after 1 period. If the luck isn't there, the refs are there to snuff out any wisp of it, it seems <_<

Goal scorers were Lundmark (Jokinen & Iginla) and Dawes (Moss). That was a period to forget. Hopefully the 2nd and 4rd are lightyears better than that.

If my sole job in life was to take punches to the face, and my friend was roughing it up with a group of punks two millimeters from me, I'd be ready for a punch, regardless of where it came from.

I think we need to drift to the anahiem system and play Datsyuk and Zetterberg 25+ minutes a night...oh...and TOGETHER. At least we'll score some goals...f***.

Uhhh... Anaheim isn't doing any better than we are.

Anyway, something is wrong with Datsyuk and I'm not sure pairing him up with Z is going to magically fix it. He seems to have almost forgotten the last couple of years. Doesn't look like he has the confidence to just take the puck to the net himself, he always tries fancy passes. And those passes are finding their target less often. Really starting to worry me.

Oh don't make excuses for Osgood. That was a bad goal due to lack of focus. He will be the first one to tell you that. If a puck is loose in front of the net and you don't have your five hole covered you aren't playing well. Osgood has not been covering his five hole all season this is just another example of his positioning breaking down. He would of had that in the playoffs no problem.

Everything that can possibly go wrong is doing that this season. What the hell. Ericsson makes a great play to break up the 2-on-1 and somehow the puck still goes in.

We score and for some reason it's not allowed.

Datsyuk needs to get going, bad. Zetterberg can't carry this team alone.

I feel for Ericsson and the rest of the guys on the ice after that goal. E makes a great play to nullify the 2-on-1 like you said, then Datsyuk knocks the puck right into the net. Seeing the replay with Dats losing control of that puck and having it go in the net was painful.

Aren't you going to chime in with your beachball pic?

It was a weird ass play. I would've loved for Ozzy to make that save, but it's not one I'd point to as evidence of what's wrong with this team or his play in particular. (Because I do think he has not been as good as the team needs him to be right now).

They need some key players to step up and help right this ship. Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Osgood.

I'd like to punch Osgarbage in the face and kick him in the nuts as well. I probably couldn't hit him either.

Is it just me or did that first period really piss everyone else off too?

Not just you. I was at the Atlanta game earlier this week and it's getting to the point where its hard to watch.

Sure they out-shoot their opponents, but the problem is they take an obscene amount of low percentage shots that more or less do nothing other then fade the opposing goalies logo on the front of his jersey.

Goaltending is atrocious - yes Ozzie and Howard have played well at points throughout the season, but for the most part it has been brutal.

Defense is worse then anything we have seen in a while. (Erikkson and Lebda both -4)

Special teams are dismal.

Besides Zetterberg, none of our primary or secondary point producers are producing.

You can add Lidstrom to that list, unfortunately. :(
