Holland not pleased with Osgood. Will Conks..
I just can\'t agree that Conklin should be the starter come playoffs. And I don\'t know if it matters either way-with those two choices in net, considering Ozzie\'s play this year to date, I don\'t see a Cup in their future this year.
In regards to why Ozzie over Conklin:
Career playoff wins:
Ozzie- 59
Conklin- ZERO
We all remember what Conklin did in game 1 of the 2006 Finals, when he blew it, and rode the pine as the Oil opted for JUSSI MARKKANEN. Who knows if there is any residual mental issues with that. Put Conks in a tight important game, and who knows whether or not it gets in his head what he did the ONE time he had a chance in a big game.
For all the Ozzie haters, and I\'m one, his record is 19-5-7 this season. Better than Conks. Conks has looked good all year, no doubt, but Boston and Phoenix got to him.
Listen, on the Wings, ANY big league goalie should get the job done. They are an elite team, and every time they get knocked outta the playoffs its because they get outplayed in net. And when it comes down to it this year, my money is on Conklin OR Ozzie getting outplayed. I\'d take ANY of the top 7 teams goalies over the Wings\' options in a 7 game series.
As of today, they match up with Minny, and they\'ve had trouble with the Wild this year. Not that I think they wouldn\'t win, but I also can totally see Backstrom stealing the series. I can\'t even see Ozzie or Conks stealing the wallet off a blind man. For me, I still see goaltending as of utmost importance, and they just don\'t have it this season(don\'t start hollering how they won with Ozzie last year, because he hasn\'t beenthe same dude).
