Holland not pleased with Osgood. Will Conks..

Is Conks starting tonight? Because a home game against a non-playoff team should warrant another Ozzie victory, no?

Okay, you know what, this is beyond ridiculous, this is simply baffling...don\'t get me wrong, I watched my Flames pick up a MASSIVE two points in the toughest place to play, and could not have been more pumped up(I am celebrating as we speak lol), but this Detroit goalie situation is a f*cking mess!
Can anyone give me one good reason why I shouldn\'t trade Ozzie and Conks for some sort of value? i mean, I am sort of rebuilding anyway, and may be able to net a decent pick for both of them.......

i agree with you, i have no idea what to do with conks... five minutes left, I shut off the game assuming the flames would lose and pick up two pts againts the leafs on saturday... well, that changed. I have not seen the highlights.. were the goals that bad? I should have gone with my gut and sat conks againts the flames as i dropped from almost first to third in my league.. .yes, that\'s how close our goalie stats are.......

From Babcock in this article:

\"Goalie battle
After consecutive starts by Ty Conklin, Chris Osgood is back in net today, his first appearance since allowing seven goals on 23 shots last Saturday in an 8-2 loss to Columbus. He\'ll be seeking his 300th career win as a Red Wing.

Babcock hopes to settle on a starting goaltender for the playoffs in the next few games.

\"It\'s out there. Somebody\'s got to reach out and grab it,\'\' Babcock said. \"Now the ball\'s in Ozzie\'s court.\'\'

Conklin has a 2.45 goals-against average and .911 save percentage, while Osgood has a 3.30 GAA and .878 save percentage.\"

How many other teams would have their number 1 going into the playoff with a .878 sv % and 3.3 GAA.... interesting..

Is Babcock ****ing kidding me? What the hell else does Conklin have to do? Save his wife & kids from a burning building? If any other coach in the league had a situation like this and actually debated on who should be the #1 come playoff time, he would be fired a few weeks before the playoffs, Lou Lamoriello style.

I think i said in here somewhere, whether it was this thread or another, that Osgood will start the playoffs, win the first game 6-5 in a shootout and then get pulled in the second game when he gives up three 1st period goals on 10 shots. Conks will come in and win them the series.

Babcock is going back to Ossie again on Friday. I get he really is a moth to a flame. He just can\'t resist that pretty blue thing that burns you every time.
