Like Cristobal Huet, Detroit Red Wings goalie Chris Osgood gets little respect. Apparently, when you win a Stanley Cup you are ordained a championship goalie – not Osgood. If an alien came down and listened to some sports casters talk about Chris one would think he’s a lucky mistake.
Is he?
Osgood is among the league leaders is save percentage at .920. His perseverance numbers (which considers shots per game load) shoots up to .961 which again places him in the upper echelon for goalies. Granted, he’s only played in 30 games. Jason LaBabera of the Los Angeles Kings leads with a .973 mark followed by Rodney Cristobal Huet Dangerfield with .968. Martin Brodeur and Roberto Luongo both have a .963 rating.
These numbers seem to justify that Chris Isgood. If not, Isgreat.
