Forgetting his two Cup rings as a starter...
For a guy who hasnt started a game in almost 2 months, I'd say he did alright.
I was expecting a trouncing in this game (due to Ozzie's rust, mostly). Philly was desperate, Wings werent, on the second game of a B2B w/travel, Ozzie starting for the first time since Christ was born...
It was a total setup for failure and Babcock knew it. So he threw Osgood in there against Boucher...basically his best chance to outduel the other guy.
He didnt, but he didnt embarass himself either. He needs another start in the last 3 games. Preferably after they get 100pts, but whatever.
Get 3 pts in the next 2 games against C-bus and start Ozzy against Chicago for the last game of the year.
OR...
Start Howard for the first game against the Jackets and then go with Osgood in the second game, Howie in the last game (Chi).
