Who can stop Red Wings' goalie Chris Osgood in playoff?

Red Wings' Chris Osgood is undefeated in the rest of playoff at 9-0 since replaced struggled Hasek at first round against Nashville after Hasek had struggled in first four games.

With your opinion, which team will try to snap Chris' streak of winning playoff games in playoff?

    The secret to Chris Osgood is this:

    He doesn't wear one of those fancy painted weird mask, so he can see the shots coming. Sometimes he blocks them almost like he is in the matrix and has learned how to control the puck.

    I won't lie. I worked during the game. But I've seen the other games. And when the Wings lost, boy they lost. They got outhustled, outworked, outplayed and Howard did fine. Not a lot he can do when his team is getting dominated. When the Wings won they won, when they lost they lost. They win as a team, they lose as a team. Sure the goalie gets the W-L record on his resume, but why do you think they have a team record too? As for Osgood, love the guy, but youve stuck with Jimmy this far, why abandon him now? Osgood hasn't done well all year and bearly played. Plus imagine what that'd do to Jimmy's confidence. Putting Osgood in is the stupidest thing to happen since going to McDonalds and wonder why you get the runs. EDIT: Jimmy Howard--32 saves in Game 7, boy too bad they didn't go with Osgood, eh?

    I don't see the Stars doing it tonight. Detroit is just playing too well. Pittsburgh (if they defeat the Flyers) will be the team to snap Osgood's losing streak. Detroit has not played a pure offensive minded team yet in the playoffs. Nashville was close and the Avs are, but injuries ended that. Pittsburgh is a goal scoring team that is also playing some pretty good Defense. Pittsburgh will end Osgoods streak in the most spectacular Stanley Cup finals in years.

    He is a great goalie but he hasn't faced teams in the playoffs that can really unbalance him. The Stars (and Avs before them) just don't have it this year. The Pens do but they still won't score many on him. Even if the Flyers should some how recover, they have about a .5% chance of getting anything past Osgood.

    Osgood is the only one that will stop himself. He has been sharp, well prepared and confident. If he stays loose like he has been., its going to be hard to beat him. Granted, Nashville wasnt much challenge, but the Avs, and Stars have some talent, and he is taking it to them.

    Sorry kate, I have no intention of Jinxing but Hossa-Malkin-Crosby are the best challenge to that.
