None of the games he played previously were bad, this was probably his only bad game and everyone is ready to declare him a bad goalie. just because his record 1-5 doesn't mean his bad. If we go by record, then no one will be complaining about ozzie. can we take a step back and look at his previous starts before we consider him bad.
