Babcock declares Chris Osgood his playoff starter
Posted by Joe in Detroit Red Wings Hockey on April 4th, 2009
Update from Friday’s practice: This comes as no surprise, but Wings coach Mike Babcock made it official by saying Chris Osgood will be his starting goaltender in the playoffs. Osgood will start Sunday against Minnesota, as the Wings, who are pretty much locked into second place in the Western Conference, try to snap a three-game losing streak.
Hossa scores, but leaves hurt vs. Sharks

The Wings looked strong tonight against the first place San Jose Sharks, but Marian Hossa left the game with an undisclosed injury. He scored a goal, and leads the team with an impressive 34 goals. Ty Conklin looked strong in net as he continues to put pressure on Chris Osgood, who will start in goal this Friday. The Red Wings did not announce the details of the injury yet, and I’ll post as soon as I find out. Let hope for the best; Hossa’s been very strong this year and looks like the stud player we thought he was going to be.
Redwings: Jimmy Howard to start, Osgood given 10 days off

Well, well, well, we’ve not seen Jimmy Howard in a while…
Chris Osgood was given 10 days off by the Wings to clear his head and re-gain his game. Huh? Yikes, I guess Chris has not been on his game at all this year. After leading us to the cup last year, Osgood has really fallen off and he’s had the worst season of his career.
It sounded like earlier in the year, there were a lot of people blaming our defense.; despite missed time by Brad Stewart and Nick Lidstrom, our defense has held up well. In my opion, Osgood has stunk this year – I don’t think there’s any denying it. Despite what Pat Caputo (97.1 FM – The Ticket – Detroit) would tell you, Chris Osgood needs to go. Hello Ty Conklin – and now Jimmy Howard??
Ozzie, if you’re the hall of famer as Cuputo constantly claims you are, lets get your shiz together and start playing some quality goal.
