Osgood finally gains respect - Wings Dominate All-Stars

Even though Chris Osgood has undoubtedly been the number One goaltender for the majority of the season, the NHL did not put him on the All-Star Game voting list. Fortunately, there are still some NHL fans that were smart enough to realize this and manually enter his name in to give him the votes that he deserved. So now Chris Osgood and Manny Legace are once again team-mates (Detroit and St. Louis) for the Western Conference in the All-Star game. If Osgood is the starting goaltender then there will be at least four Red Wings that will start, not including the coach of the Western Conference Mike Babcock (Detroit). The other starters are Niklas Lidstrom, Pavel Datsyuk, and Henrik Zetterberg. I just hope that the curse of the last few years for the Detroit Redwings losing in the first round or two in the playoffs does not continue this year because they are right on track for it. They lead the Western Conference by about 10 points right now. Go wings!
