Rumor: NHL may be destined to relocate Phoenix Coyotes to Seattle, and why it’s a brilliant move
Seattle has been home to the Western Hockey League’s Thunderbirds since 1985.

Osgood Takes His ‘Helmet’ With Him
from Denis Grignon of the Toronto Star, To that exclusive group of NHL goalies — a club that had withered to one until Chris Osgood’s retirement last week made it zero — it’s simply referred to as “The Helmet.”
The Detroit goalie’s three Stanley cups and 401 wins should stand as his crowning achievements. But it may be that round and red head bucket and white wire...

Where does Chris Osgood stand among all time Detroit Red Wings?

He was a third round pick, 54th overall, by the Detroit Red Wings in the 1991 NHL entry draft. Before we debate if he deserves a place in the Hockey Hall of Fame, let us look at where he stands in terms of all time great Detroit Red Wings.
The first number that sticks...

If you were a street hockey goalie in metro Detroit during the 90’s like I was then you had people driving by your street hockey games chanting at you, “Ozzie! Ozzie! Ozzie!” Those chants had varying tones depending on how well the Red Wings and Chris Osgood were doing at the time.

Red Wings overnight report: Chris Osgood’s Hall of Fame candiacy, the flavor of the month
I guess that if there’s one thing you can say for certain about Chris Osgood, he won more often than his competence was questioned, which is pretty good given that people questioned whether he was good enough to do the job from the moment he was called up from Adirondack way back in 1994. Now that he’s retired, the questions of the week involve Osgood’s lasting...

Chris Osgood: Detroit's native son
Unless you've lived under a rock, you're well aware of the cliche' that the two toughest jobs in Detroit sports are Lions quarterback and Red Wings goalie.
Fortunately for Wings fans, Chris Osgood never felt that way. From the moment I met Ozzie, he seemed to understand Detroit -- even though he grew up thousands of miles away in Western Canada.
A few years ago, I...

The debate came up again and earned its usual amount of passionate and all-too-partisan (at least in terms of the people who can’t stand the man because he stuck around like a bad penny) arguments: now that he’s retired, can we truly say for certain whether Red Wings goalie Chris Osgood is a Hockey Hall-of-Fame-caliber goaltender?
