Ϲharlie Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Sometimes I feel like clawing my face off. That's normal, I guess. Why would you want to claw your face off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altera the Hun Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Sounds like you. Your fault, probably. Fixed. Go Blackhawks. Hossa's been punished enough for his going to the Wings. She was going on a mass-murdering spree. I'm lucky to be alive, let alone still have balls to clench in pain. I'm a Wings fan. And the Wings need to can their Coach. It's his fault for refusing to play one of the best Goalies in the league over some (relatively) third-rate hack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's worse than Niemi. Howard's been great. They didn't change it for no reason. I can name six goalies better than Osgood off the top of my head: Luongo Miller Giguere Voukoun Bryzgalov Rask Edited June 10, 2010 by Ar-Wing Pilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a few years back, though, he was the third-best goalie in the league, behind Hasek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can name six goalies better than Osgood off the top of my head: Luongo Miller Giguere Voukoun Bryzgalov Rask Actually Osgood's been underrated for a pretty good while. It's not just because of guys like Datsyuk and Zetterberg that the Wings were still working post-Yzerman. Besides, you never know when either of those is going to crumble. Luongo's not that stable in playoffs and neither is Miller. Giguere and Vokoun inherited of pretty shitty teams in front of them, sadly (and in Toronto's case, the 7th floor isn't that bright either with trading the 2nd choice overall for Phil Kessel). Bryz is ok I guess, and Rask is just starting. He could possibly do like Raycroft and be a big flop the next year. Hell Thomas was awesome the year before Rask was, and we both know what happened. Osgood is pretty much my second behind Brodeur, really. But hey, at least you didn't put Nabokov in there, and that's coming from a Sharks fan.

Ar-Wing Pilot Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 (edited) What? Osgood barely got any playtime this year, playing less than 20 games. Only a few years back, though, he was the third-best goalie in the league, behind Hasek. Never mind. Playing behind a team like the Red Wings helps a bit. Osgood never drug a team to the playoffs, much less a finals. That alone takes him down a few notches in my book. Actually Osgood's been underrated for a pretty good while. It's not just because of guys like Datsyuk and Zetterberg that the Wings were still working post-Yzerman. Besides, you never know when either of those is going to crumble.

Osgood is pretty much my second behind Brodeur, really. But hey, at least you didn't put Nabokov in there, and that's coming from a Sharks fan. They do have a ton going for them otherwise, though. Osgood is one of the weak points, in my mind, and that's saying something. I'm not saying he's bad, I just don't see him as a top goalie. Luongo was never helped by his defense. Only now for Giguere. Anaheim has always been a great team, and still is; if it wasn't for that horrid start, they'd of probably been at least like Montreal this year in the playoffs. And I suppose, regarding Rask. We'll see. I can't help but say Brodeur's overrated. He's not as good as he once was. Edited June 10, 2010 by Ar-Wing Pilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd value Brodeur's experience who has been consistent for over 15 years rather than a rookie like Rask who could crack next year. However they are indeed making him play too much, which is pretty much why the Devils, the Sharks, the Canucks and in theory the Panthers shouldn't go far in playoffs. It's good to alternate a bit, especially during the season, as it helps goaltenders rest a bit. Edited June 10, 2010 by Dio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying I wouldn't pick him as the 'best goalie in the league, barring maybe Miller.' In regards to the Panthers, hopefully this new guy (Markstrom) they signed could take some of the load off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They kinda need more firepower in front first. Priorities, guys, stop getting d-men and goalies already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ar-Wing Pilot Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Too bad for them. At least their defense is solid. But going 12 games with, what, 7 goals at one point?
