Oz-zie! Oz-zie! Oz-zie! Oz-zie!

On and on the chant rings through Joe Louis Arena.

Oz-zie! Oz-zie! Oz-zie Oz-zie!

Chris Osgood has the denizens of Detroit eating from the palm of his hands. Never mind the octopus; it’s all about Oz-zie! Oz-zie! Oz-zie! Oz-zie!

Osgood has been dominating the Pittsburgh Penguins to the tune of …41 saves.

Did I read that right? 41 saves? In two games?

Oz-zie! Oz-zie! Oz-zie! Oz-zie!

Hush up now.

41 saves in two games? Why that’s…that’s less than seven saves per period.

Oz-zie! Oz-zie! Oz-zie! Oz-zie!

Enough already.

Come to think of it…the Penguins have only out shot the Wings in one period: game 1, period 1 by a count of 12-11.

Oz-zie! Oz-zie! Oz-zie! Oz-zie!

Keep it down would ya.

Since then the Pens have mustered a mere 29 shots. Not to mention that every time those Antarctic birds get a chance for a good shot, they can’t manage to put it on net.

Oz-zie! Oz-zie! Oz-zie! Oz-zie!

I want his job.

    My first reaction to this is that if I remember correctly, Chris Osgood has been put through the ringer during his career in Detroit. He was considered a good “regular” season netminder who went soft in the playoffs…
    Not sure I would want to have experienced all that has brought him to this point in his career…the glory is nice, but the road through hell is less than pleasant…

    Go Celts! (I am hoping…)

    Osgood has had some battles over the years. He was actually the net-minder when the Wings won the Cup in ’98 (was Detroit Hockey Town then?). Then the Wings brought in Hasek, and Osgood became expendable. He bounced around a little-played a season and a half for my Islanders – was with the Blues and now back.

    (Imagine Robert DeNiro talking) Are you winking at me?

    I don’t know where that came from- hope it doesn’t make you too nervous…

    Nervous? Nahhhhhhhhhh…….Should I be nervous?
