Well, I for one am happy to eat a little humble pie. Mr. Osgood is looking like his old self in the first two games of the playoffs, displaying none of the wishy-washy goal-tending that was all too often present during the regular season. He was especially wonderful in the game last night where he posted a beautiful shutout against the Columbus Blue Jackets giving the Wings a comfortable two game lead going into their third game on Tuesday night. Yes, this Red Wings fan is very happy, indeed. (Although, it does beg the question of if Chris Osgood can be this fantastic come playoffs then why wasn't he playing better the rest of the season? Does he just need the excitement of the playoffs?)
Nonetheless, I am heartily content with the effort the defense has put forth thus far as well, especially in regards to cutting down on turnovers. And was anyone watching Datsuk and all of the hits he was delivering? Not too bad for a forward, huh? And they say European players won't fight? Now, we just have to stay focused and keep coming at them hard as I do not expect Columbus to just roll over. On to Game Three. Go Wings!
