gcom007 1,465 Report post Posted January 2, 2011 I'll give Flip a ton of credit for making a great play and a great shot there. Real nice. However, I don't take back anything I said in the "Should Flip be traded" thread. And does Flip have 1 goal, 2 goals or 0 goals now in this game...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACallToArms 270 Report post Posted January 2, 2011 Why the hell is Osgood in? This game is not 3-0 because of Howard. Lines have been tweaked too. Just mixing things up, the previous plan wasn't working, go to plan B. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted January 3, 2011 You're right, it's not. But making a change in goaltending is an easy way to send a message to a team playing badly. And it just might have made a difference now too... Of course, you're right. However, there are those who will assume that the Wings came back because of Ozzie -- and that Howard's the reason the team sucked pucks for the first 40 minutes.

commadore183 103 Report post Posted January 3, 2011 Lines have been tweaked too. Just mixing things up, the previous plan wasn't working, go to plan B. And if Plan B doesn't work, well, Murph, you'll have to make a sacrifice for the good of the Wings, so hand over that hot dog of yours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Booster313 138 Report post Posted January 3, 2011 I am glad to see Ozzie in for one reason, must mean that Babs has faith in him again. It's only a good thing going forward. Having two very capable goalies is better than one. 3 VikingMark, Vladifan and 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And it just might have made a difference now too... I know, I just don't like the message that sends to Howard after a rough stretch now for awhile when he's obviously frustrated. You can see it in his face. I've been a proponent of Osgood getting more starts, but I question Howard getting pulled. As I've been saying since last year, Howard's young and still learning. I think we expect way too much out of him and I just hope he doesn't turn into another one season wonder. Osgood benefited early in his career from having a veteran play a lot and take the lead in the playoffs. They're both naturally cool, but even the cool goalies can lose track of their heads early in their career. I just don't really like the way they've dealt with Howard or the goaltending in general the last couple years. Both guys are getting the shaft in different ways.

It's a paradigm shift, that's for sure. 1 Vladifan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
