Leoprone Owns Osgood: One More For The Road

by Joe Dunman on Dec 17, 2008 1:16 PM MST in NHL News

(Bumped to hide the pain of the Philly debacle, per request.)

Because I just can't get enough of this goal:

Once again, that's Jordan Leopold, Avalanche defenseman, scoring the game-winning goal, top shelf, on Red Wings starting goaltender Chris Osgood. On a penalty shot. The first penalty shot of Leopold's 6-year professional hockey career. Top shelf. Game-winner.

Oh my god if this is the only win the Avs get against the Wings this season, it won't matter a bit to me. Suck it Detroit. Suck it a million times.

But hopefully it is the first of many to come…how much sweeter would it be.

I think I will stare at this and the Wolski picture for the entire day. I can’t get enough.

avs-ome...

It just feels great to think that people like the fan who threw things on the ice are pissed off…

I hate the dead things

GO AVS

Even Better

Let’s see that again!

But I know you’re thinking to yourself… I wonder how beautiful that goal would have looked from the stands.. well wonder no more!

I believe in Peter Budaj

I like

how Osgood is just staring at his glove seeming to think, “wha…wha….wheres the puck?”

He should be wondering why he’s even in the NHL

I think everyone with an IQ higher than 5, thus excluding Dead Wing fans, wonders that.

Isn’t that Raycroft’s line? It was bizarro day in Detroit.

Go Avs! Let's get some goals!

My favorite goal of the year

But then I’m horribly biased in that Leo is my favorite player on the Avs. Yes he may be flawed…..but he captained my beloved Gophers to the NCAA title.

Osgood's reaction

I watched the game on the Versus raw feed, meaning instead of commercials, it was streaming what the editor was seeing to create the highlights including the game sound. Watching the post-brake replay of this goal come together was a joy.

First came ref calling the penalty shot, followed by one of the Wings yelling, “What!? WHY!?”

Then came Leopold’s approach from three or four angles until they found the best one.

Finally was the goal cam, where Osgood’s reaction was a nice, resounding F bomb. F%&@, indeed, Osgood.

I didn’t get it into the recap, but I thought it was hilarious how often the Wings got tossed out of the circles last night – their “incredulous” reactions were top-notch

How did you get access to the Versus raw feed? It sounds like so much fun. And real.

It was a Russian (I think) web stream on justin.tv.

hmm. I’ll have to look for it for the next versus games.

It would be awesome… and yes, we will enjoy it for now
RED WINGS SUCK

GO AVS

by slapshotr2007 on Dec 16, 2008 3:55 PM MST up reply actions

We are enjoying it

and can you really blame us? I know Wings fan are apt to sit back and say “Finally, it’s been two years” and shit like that, but it has to sting a little bit knowing this is our worst team in years and we won on Detroit’s ice.
