Chris Osgood 30

This page is dedicated to Chris Osgood, the Stanley Cup Champion goalie for the Detroit Red Wings. It's not very good right now, because I used to have over 30 pictures of Ozzie saved on my hardrive, but they all got erased. So I'll fish around the net and see if I can find some more good pictures.

I first started liking Chris in the 95-96 season, I think it was. During the playoffs, they were interviewing Mike Vernon, and they started talking to Chris Osgood. I'd heard of him before, but I only knew of him as the backup for the Red Wings. And after the Canucks lost to the Avalanche in the first round, I cheered for any team team that played against the Avs, including the Wings. And Ozzie played a lot in that series so that's how I got to like him. In 1997 I told everyone that Chris Osgood was going to win the Cup, and he did, sort of. But in '98 he really won, and that was really awesome for me. Here are some things about Ozzie you may or may not know:
