I'm out. Don't feel like listening to the endless Ozzie bashing that is sure to come, despite the fact that our D is obviously s*** again with McCrimmon behind the bench.

I know what you mean. It interests me enough to stick around though :ph34r:

Is Franzen seriously hurt? I come to check out how things are going, this is what I find out?

Ken Kal said it's a charley horse.

It was Orpik that had the knee on knee with Franzen, and Bertuzzi went after him right away.

Your Right but Orpick is out - Game - my point is : It was a cheap shot on one of our big Goal Scorers, and No Reply in kind ? I know Babs is not that kind of Coach, but C'mon - Probie Rolling Over in his Grave !

No reason to get so broken up about this. Just compare the rosters and it's clear that something like this was going to happen. The Pens are firing on all cylinders because they want to impress their home crowd on CEC's first game.

Still too early for a "Probert rolling in the grave" comment.

I agree. The Wings didn't dress a lot of their starters. The Pens dressed almost all their starters. Mainly because this is the opening night of their new arena. Anyone saying that the Wings are doomed this season are talking out their collective asses.

Cha, As if ?! So were going according to your clock here ? How about you let us all know when and when we can't Talk about the Toughest Man to Ever Lace 'em up. Ther'd be Blood on the Ice if this happened while Probes Patrolled the Pond - that's my point.

I need to see these fights. Sounds like Downey lost and did Bert even have a "fight"?

Yes Bert Smoked Orpick, as he should have - I did not see it, but was listening to the Pen's Feed , and Those who called The Downey Scrap so "Vosiferiosly" didn't have much to say about Bert Flexing his muscle.

I don't really want to fuel the fire, but...

I think it's beginning to at least be fair to start considering 'bashing' (opening questioning) Osgood a bit. I don't have a problem admitting when he's good ('08 playoffs), but i think two straight horrendous regular seasons warrants it.

This last season sent me right over the edge. When he was complaining and whining about Babcock and the Wing's defensive support in the media, i had about enough of him. If I'm a correct a 24 year old rookie (whom not many were very high on) stole his job. Nearly every chance he got to start, HE played horrendously. The "well i need to start X amount of games before i can play well" excuse was pitiful. Your a pro Chris, you aren't going to always get those chances.

I get it's the preseason, i'm not jumping over a bridge. But i am getting just a bit tired of seeing 5 goals for the opposing team on the board and being 95% certain I know who's in goal.
