It's like watching a cancer pass from the clubhouse of one rival to another, like watching GMs play hot potato with Albert Belle. Equally entertaining was watching the Blues replace one playoff choking sieve (Turek) with another.

I never really thought Osgood was the reason the Wings lost in 2000 and 2001. I actually thought he was one of the better players in both years. 1999 wasn't his fault either, because he was injured and only played after Ranford totally imploded. The problem with Osgood is that he's prone to let up a soft goal from time to time and to give up the untimely goal. I think he's a decent goalie. THen again it's true that I never felt 100% comfortable going into a playoff series with him in net.
