I’m officially adding “Chris Osgood” to the list of reasons why I hate the Detroit Red Wings. Somewhere above “Hockeytown” and below “the Detroit fans”.
Anyone catch that interview that was showed during Game 2 on FSN Detroit? (The FSN Detroit Crew is also on the list - BTW.) I googled hard and wide, but I couldn’t find a clip of the interview. The closest thing I found was this. Anyway, he basically throws a hissy fit when reporters asked if he was a little relieved after his Game 1 performance and Ozzie smirks "I don't doubt myself, ever. People that don't know me, do. I've played for 15 years, I mean, I have the most wins in playoff history for the Red Wings for a reason. It's not because I'm a bad goalie."
Chris, you were a bad goalie in the regular season. This regular season. The whole thing. You know, 82 games, 6 months. That’s a long time to stink. Your GAA of 3.09 - that was 41st best in the NHL. And your 0.887 save % was 45th. Congratulations. Your crappy goaltending was the reason the Avs were able to get wins in both games in Detroit this season. How dare anyone ask you if you were happy that you didn’t continue to suck in Game 1?
Yes, he’s only allowed one goal in the series and he shut out the Jackets today, blah, blah, blah. He did play well in the first 10 mins of Game 1, but any AHL goalie could have kept the Jackets off the scoreboard today, especially when they couldn’t even hit the net on their very few scoring chances.
Really, really can’t wait until (not if, until) this guy blows a game in the playoffs.
PS - Nice turtleneck.
