That's just a dumb statement. That's like saying "Luc Robitaille's a good guy but he was a pretty mediocre winger, he was never as good as Howe." Mediocre goalies don't get 400 wins in the NHL. He's tenth all-time, and the 9 guys before him are either already in the HOF, or destined for it. Mediocrity doesn't put you in that company...
@Cheezzy0 Luc Robitaille wasn't a great skater but he had a great shot and knew the game enough to get good stats.
Look at Ozzie's individual goalie stats. They are not impressive. He was on a good team that knew how to play control hockey and keep shots to lower percentage scoring areas.
The Detroit Red Wings have been named the top sports franchise several times. Look at the players they've had over the years they've dominated. Such a team does not need an HOF goalie for those stats.
suckish goalie? The guy has over 400 wins, 3 Stanley Cups...that's Hall of Fame credentials. Had Detroit won the Cup in 2009 he was one of the leading favorites to win Conn Smythe as well. In the fight a much bigger Roy was pushed back and then taken down by a smaller Osgood after Roy didn't connect on many of the punches he threw, not exactly beating anyone's ass if you ask me, it was more of a tie than anything.
Truth be told... I will always say say that Wings are better, I'm pretty biased when it comes to that. But, Montreal Canadiens is one of the best franchises out there. The Habs are the granddaddy of the NHL and deserve major props... I love the Habs, too, there's no conflict between them until it comes to playoffs really. Roy the Habs goaltender and Roy the Avs goaltender are two different identities. :) Roy was indeed an outstanding goalie, spectacular.... and that's all I'm saying :)
ok all of you idiots who are bashing detroit need to realize that they are 1 win from the cup finals right now. not only that, but they have won 9 straight playoff games which is a franchise record, osgood has the best goals against average in the playoffs, and they are on the verge of sweeping their opponant in 2 consecutive rounds....they clearly dont suck, so all u critics can go suck your own dicks when the wings win the cup
Wow, clearly you had you're head up your ass when you were watching those fights because Vernon beat the fuck out of Roy and Ozzie held his own. Avs suck dick and it showed when they got swept. We have won the more than you in this era so fuck off Detective Dipshit.
dude lol chill vernons one good punch was enough to leave roy a broken and bloody mess, that alone decides who won the fight. all roy unloading proved it that vernon can wear a couple punches cuz hes a man
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
no im gonna fucking chill. they dont judge boxing on one lucky punch or who had more blood drawn. its about who landed more square punches and had the upper hand THE WHOLE TIME!!!
Fuck you crow. Whos in the finals faggot? Looks like Joe Sacklick and the douchebags you call a hockey team couldent pull their shit together. Enjoy getting sweeped fag?
what are u talking about this isnt boxing lol. the crowd decides the fights, and who ever draws more blood is obviously going to have the fans cheering against them. fans love the blood dude.
A couple years ago?! A couple years ago the Aves got swept by the Ducks in the semi-finals, but I am sure you were atalking about the p[layoffs before that...oh wait they were beat by the Sharks in six. You must mean the '07 playoffs, oops, didn't make em. Well a couple years ago can mean 7...right?
ok well ya know what, now the wings are 2 wins from winning the cup, and they shut out the penguins in 2 straight games..id say thats enough to talk a little shit...and besides that, roy got bloodied up by vernons good punch and vernon didnt bleed at all from roy "unloading" so fuck off...and secondly the wings beat the shit out of the avs this year, they are doing a hell of a lot better than the avs so fuck you...ill rub this in your face more when the wings win the cup over pittsburgh you fag
@69lildevil Well, it really didn't matter who came from which francise, they are both good, but are u really gonna compare Roy to Ozzie because Roy has 3 Conn Smythes, two of which he got from carrying those loser Mon Canandian Teams to a Cup, Ozzie = 0 Conn smythes, Compare Brodeur and Roy, not Ozzie and Roy
@Wisest85 winning a conn smythe does not make you the best player, i mean yeah its a great achievement but u cant just say that n make it seem like he is better. its not ozzies fault he is part of a great franchise that can score goals and be awesome lol
@69lildevil By taking five punching and landing none of his own? You must have to rely on putting your Red wings fanboy glasses on before every fight.
Clearly, Detroit doesn't suck. If they did, we wouldn't be where we are. Osgood has pulled through countless times for us this playoff season. It seems to me you just don't like the team and can't come up with any way of expressing it other than "Detroit sucks". Please grow up a little bit before you post immature and childish comments like that.
Um no. Im not racist. What if I said that white faggot? Would I be racist? No. Just stfu. Your team lost, get over it. Ok, tell me why were called Hockey Town and your town isn't. Oh and as well as Detroit rock city. Get over yourself. Were bringing the cup home.
I definitely agree with that. Personally I like Ozzy more cause he has been an underdog for so long, getting traded for Hasek and coming back like this. Ozzy is my fav.
Hasek needs to have his ass tied to the moorings, so he can't leave the crease. He makes me cringe everytime...I guess because I've watched him hand the puck off to the opposing team, and then not make it back in time...
To be fair, though, if any goalie should be trusted to do a "GET YOUR ASS BACK IN NET" play, hasek is that goalie. and even so, his percentage of successful "GET YOUR ASS BACK IN NET" plays is actually relatively high.
I know what you mean though, i get a goddamn heart attack when he comes all the way out to the faceoff circle.
"To be fair, though, if any goalie should be trusted to do a "GET YOUR ASS BACK IN NET" play, hasek is that goalie. and even so, his percentage of successful "GET YOUR ASS BACK IN NET" plays is actually relatively high."
You are correct there.
I think Ozzy just allows me to be calm, because he seems so calm in goal. He seems to handle what's coming his way...then get's ready to handle the rebound, quickly, if there is one.
man osgood is definitely the greatest backup goalie, i no it hurts to hear backup but man there is no one better then him at that position with a lil over 300 wins (315 i think) thats pretty damn impressive
"man osgood is definitely the greatest backup goalie, i no it hurts to hear backup but man there is no one better then him at that position with a lil over 300 wins (315 i think) thats pretty damn impressive"
Ozzy now has 363...
Considering the record is 551...it's awesome for someone who has worn the title "backup" for most of his career.
Ozzie's a good guy but he was a pretty mediocre tender, he was never as good as Roy.
