I suppose it’s such a topic of interest based on his involvement with the Red Wings broadcast team. FOX/Bally Sports Detroit seem to bring up his career accomplishments before and during every game. He’s always been a charismatic player, too -- a fan-favorite type of guy -- and a lot of that has to do with the fact that he was a consistently reliab...
Osgood won three Stanley Cups with the Red Wings -- 1997, 1998 and 2008. He also tended goal for the 2009 Red Wings team that lost in the Final to the Pittsburgh Penguins. In 1997, however, Osgood was Mike Vernon’s backup, appearing in just two playoff games that year. The Red Wings turned to Ozzy to help them repeat in 1998, and he did not disappo...
The Hockey Hall of Fame is not just for NHL players, despite a track record of favoring NHL careers. The Fame is supposed to take into consideration a player’s full hockey career, including international play. Players with stellar NHL and international careers are given extra attention, of course. Rogie Vachon is most famous as Canada’s goalie in t...
Being the “unflashy” goalie on one of the most dominant NHL teams of the modern era does not help Osgood’s case for a Hall of Fame induction. He was reliable, he was clutch in the playoffs, but he was overlooked when it came to international team selections and awards. Nicklas Lidstrom, one of the best defenseman (perhaps THE best) of all time, ran...
I think if you take all of this into consideration, you might end up on the fence about Osgood’s Hall of Fame worthiness. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see him inducted. And that’s me speaking as a Red Wings fan, of course. But if you zoom out, take a look at the bigger picture across the league and try not to be a homer like me, I don’t know if ...
There is a case to be made for the Red Wings retiring Osgood’s No. 30 and raising it to the rafters of Little Caesars Arena. Detroit only retires the numbers of players who have been inducted into the Hall, but this seems like a special case if Osgood remains out of the Hall. He trails only the great Terry Sawchuk in all-time wins as Red Wings goal...
Jul 25, 2020 · We can go ahead and put an end to that debate by declaring that yes, in fact – Chris Osgood absolutely has a place in the Hockey Hall of Fame. With 401 career victories to his name, Osgood ranks 13th all time in NHL history – ahead of his former teammate Dominik Hasek, who is widely regarded as the NHL's greatest netminder.
