titanium2 867 Report post Posted December 12, 2010 I love that game. I could kick anyone's ass playing it, that's how good I am. Draw four. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Electrophile 3,554 Report post Posted December 12, 2010 Draw four. No, you Draw Four. I'm calling the color blue and after you draw four, you can draw two more. Uno, suckers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Datsyerberger 279 Report post Posted December 12, 2010 I can't believe it's taken 1 day shy of a year to reach the eve of 400 wins. Long time coming, but it feels good to say... 399!!! 1 more win...this will be a huge accomplishment. The big question is when will it be? I really hope Babcock gives him an opportunity to do it at home. Monday, Wednesday or Sunday. I'd be fine with any of those! 399!!! That would be awesome; the Ozzie chant at the end of the game could be deafening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

digitaljohn88 4 Report post Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) vs St Louis on Wednesday would be a perfect way to get 400. Worst case scenario, I'm sure Babcock would toss Osgood in at home on New Year's Even against the Isles for the free win. I think he'll win one before that though.

Miss Wing Queen 154 Report post Posted December 13, 2010 It's sad that when I first looked at this thread and saw it was posted December 12 and had Ozzie at 397 wins, I was thinking that the poster was way off the count since obviously he is at 399. Then I saw that it said 2009 . . . Ha ha! I really want Ozzie to play on Wednesday against the Blues because I'll be there for that game. I'm on stand-by as to what jersey to wear--30 or 35--for that night, and I really hope it's 30. Get it done, Babs, so this man can have 400 before Christmas!

FireCaptain 563 Report post Posted December 13, 2010 What if he gets it next week in St Louis? How do the Bitter Blues feel about Ozzie? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let it be the game on the 23rd! I'll be at that game and I'll be ready to scream myself into laryngitis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WizardOfOz30 1,886 Report post Posted December 13, 2010 I would love to be at the game he gets 400, but as long as it's a home and he gets the great appreciation from the fans I'll be ok with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ozzie30 170 Report post Posted December 13, 2010 1.Martin Brodeur, 602 2.Patrick Roy, 551 3.Ed Belfour, 484 4.Curtis Joseph, 454 5.Terry Sawchuk, 447 6.Jacques Plante, 437 7.Tony Esposito, 423 8.Glenn Hall, 407 9.Grant Fuhr, 403 These are the guys ahead of him now, he'll probably end up 8th all time, but I think he has an outside chance at passing Esposito. He's in pretty good company here - all of them are destined for the HOF if they're not there already. Even though Ozzie's struggles are well documented, he has always been consistent and you can't ask much more of a NHL goaltender than that. 2 55fan and WizardOfOz30 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Stanely 39 Report post Posted December 13, 2010 I live 3 hours south of Minneapolis and was planning on taking my sons to the game on 12/26. What are the chances????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reds4Life 51 Report post Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) Osgood is a compiler, giving Ws to goalies is stupid, the whole team wins, not just a goalie. If you give Wins to goalies, why not defensemen? Lidstrom has got to have over 800 wins easily. Edited December 13, 2010 by Reds4Life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey man nice shot! 144 Report post Posted December 13, 2010 We are luckier than we know. It might be 5-10 years after Osgood retires before he truly will be appreciated for all he's done, but he will get his due. Again, you don't hit 400 wins by accident. Well said sir Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
