From the AP via the Mercury News,
Dominik Hasek is out, and Chris Osgood is in.
Hasek said Thursday that Red Wings coach Mike Babcock told him Osgood will start Game 5 against the Nashville Predators, who won two straight at home to even the first-round series 2-all.
From Red Wings Corner:
Asked whether Osgood will be the Red Wings’ netminder for the remainder of the playoffs, coach Mike Babcock laughed and said, “Just win baby.”

Speaking of songs, that reminds me of something in the NYT Slapshot blog today… a theme song linked for Detroit fans. [link here]
Gave me a laugh, anyway.

See what happens when the D fails to play infront of hasek hmmmmmmmmm hasek doesn’t fair so well without a stellar D. Maybe osgood can hold the fort (if) the D fails to show up again and if he doesn’t (you’re screwed) and if hasek starts the next game you’re screwed. You trip deep into the playoffs depends on the performance of your D i wouldn’t worry about who’s in net any goalie would do well with that great D in front of him.
