In the poll select what you think, and also post your answer of what you think. Personally I think if he was given another chance I think he could run away with the starting position. _________________ http://www.youtube.com/user/JustVeejProductions montreal961 GoalieForum Legend Joined: 09 Dec 2006 Posts: 5697 Location: Canada Posted: Mon Feb 23, 2009 2:25 am    Post subject: No. He hasn’t been tested enough. Maybe next season, at the earliest. _________________ FutureSuperstar93 GoalieForum Legend Joined: 28 Jul 2007 Posts: 4095 Location: Maine Posted: Mon Feb 23, 2009 10:50 pm    Post subject: He's been in the AHL for years and doesn't step up when he gets called up, so possibly not.

He will be a life long minor league player. He is one of the rare mistakes made by Ken Holland. Unfortunately, I think McCollum will prove to be a bust as well. montreal961 GoalieForum Legend Joined: 09 Dec 2006 Posts: 5697 Location: Canada Posted: Thu Mar 26, 2009 10:36 pm    Post subject: Re: NEVER!

McCollum was a HUGE bust for the Americans in the world juniors aswell. _________________ Arthriticbutterflystyle Hall of Fame Joined: 01 Feb 2009 Posts: 1936 Location: Calgary AB Posted: Thu Mar 26, 2009 10:36 pm    Post subject: You know, it's funny that this was just brought up again because I just finished reading through this article: http://www.redwingscentral.com/stories/2009_03/23_RWCReport.php montreal961 GoalieForum Legend Joined: 09 Dec 2006 Posts: 5697 Location: Canada Posted: Thu Mar 26, 2009 10:42 pm    Post subject: Arthriticbutterflystyle wrote: You know, it's funny that this was just brought up again because I just finished reading through this article: http://www.redwingscentral.com/stories/2009_03/23_RWCReport.php Now the red wings are stuck with two old guys. _________________ Arthriticbutterflystyle Hall of Fame Joined: 01 Feb 2009 Posts: 1936 Location: Calgary AB Posted: Thu Mar 26, 2009 10:42 pm    Post subject: Conklin isn't old. montreal961 GoalieForum Legend Joined: 09 Dec 2006 Posts: 5697 Location: Canada Posted: Thu Mar 26, 2009 10:44 pm    Post subject: Arthriticbutterflystyle wrote: Conklin isn't old.

This post season will be interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if Osgood starts, he goes Hasek and gets himself pulled, and then Conklin does an Osgood and the Wings take him to a cup. _________________ Because it hurts so good.

He's an extremely solid goalie and just needs to work on a couple things. He's still young and you want to get rid of something moldable and trainable to pick up Thomas? Vigier Minors Joined: 29 Mar 2008 Posts: 270 Location: Manitoba Posted: Thu Mar 26, 2009 11:44 pm    Post subject: Becuase he's not a starting goalie and that's what Detroit's been missing for a long time. A true starting goalie. They haven't had one since Hasek in 01-02. _________________ http://www.youtube.com/user/JustVeejProductions montreal961 GoalieForum Legend Joined: 09 Dec 2006 Posts: 5697 Location: Canada Posted: Thu Mar 26, 2009 11:45 pm    Post subject: Vigier wrote: I honestly hope the Wings ditch Osgood and Conklin and get Thomas next year. I don’t think that would be good for the wings playoffs performance. _________________ Arthriticbutterflystyle Hall of Fame Joined: 01 Feb 2009 Posts: 1936 Location: Calgary AB Posted: Thu Mar 26, 2009 11:53 pm    Post subject: Give it up on Hasek already...he wasn't a starter his last season either. Osgood was an excellent starter and proved that fact for a long time. I think that Conklin is more than capable to do the job that the Wings are looking for. Steve Mason wasn't a starter either FYI.
