The Wings won the 2005-2006 series 7-1, with four wins coming in 2005: October 22nd (6-0), October 24th (6-2), December 20th (4-3 SO), and December 31st (5-2); and three wins coming in 2006: January 18th (4-0), April 7th (6-5), and April 8th (4-2).

When they pulled Legace last playoffs, the Predators had just evened up the series 2-2 and giving him another chance would have been a little iffy with Curtis Joseph sitting on the bench. This time around, it may be different. If he doesn't stand out immediately, though, Babcock may go with Osgood, given his playoff experience.

His first bad game and he was out...that doesn't really give him the confidence he's going to need to get through 4 rounds. Even though Manny would be my pick, I would still love to see Osgood given the chance to bring another Cup to Detroit after the way he was shown the door with the Hasek situation.

He'll give Manny his chance and if he doesn't perform up to snuff, he'll be out, as he was in 2004. You know Osgood will be ready for such an opportunity.

Ozzie puts up performances that make it a better argument in his favor. I'd start Legace in the first round, but not be afraid to put Ozzie in if things go south. It's like a Wild Fernandez/Roloson situation, interchangable parts. Despite all that Babcock says, I really don’t think Legace is cemented as #1.
