Red Wings/Colorado - Ozzie! Ozzie! Osgood's playing well and the Wings are playing well defensively in front of him. Still like to see some not turn over the puck so much but they improved since the playoffs started. Franzen has kept up his pace from March which is great to see

Nooooooooooooooo!

I wonder what it's going to take for him to get back into the lineup. Yes, the team is playing very well so I can understand not wanting to mess with it but at the same time how can you just ignore what Kirk can offer the team. Give him a chance to play again. I know Mac has a goal, a fight, and brings grit but he's SLOW. Kirk still has his speed, likes to hit, and is still great on the PK.

I'm NOT a happy camper right now. Not at all. :*(

I wasn't going to even read that but I did and I wish I hadn't. I keep going back to the period between his injuries this year I think when Kris was out...Babcock was playing him 12-15 minutes a game for a stretch and he was looking like pre-lockout Kirk and now he can't even give the guy a chance. I don't get it. :-(

Don't get me wrong I love Mac but I'm feeling a bit resentful towards him and I don't like that.

I'm not a fan of Sammy or Hudler, as I've said before, so I'd I love to see either of them sit for a game although that obviously won't happen.

Sammy...seriously I don't get that one. Babcock always says how you have to earn your ice time etc. and then there's Sammy turning over the puck, taking bad shots, and basically just sucking yet not only does he have his spot in the lineup he gets PP minutes as well. Makes me crazy!
