The amazing rebirth of Red Wings goaltender Chris Osgood | Freep.com | Detroit Free Press

1) He wants to play for Detroit. 2) He wants to play goalie. 3) He wants to win. 4) He wants to play for Detroit."I've had like three stages of my career," he says. "I was here, then I went away, then I was back. I've had the best of both worlds. The first time I was here, I didn't even know other guys in the league. Then you get out and you see how other organizations work, you meet different players, different people. Then you think, 'I had it pretty damn good before.' "And so he is back to his pretty damn good -- back to where he belongs, Detroit, where he says he will live for the rest of his life.When they yell players' names at hockey games, it can be a fad, a spontaneous eruption. When they yell "Ozzie" at Joe Louis Arena, it's more like a career cheer, a hometown familiarity, the thing he has wanted more than anything else: to be a key part of this franchise, to hopefully retire in this jersey.

What is there to say about Ozzie, He was here for 2 Stanley Cups, he probably could have done the job in 2002.  I always liked him.  I am glad he is back and playing awesome, just like having McCarty back is great.  If it was up to me Stevie Y would still be playing.  What makes me like Ozzie even more is his dedication to the Wings, he never wanted to leave, and when he did go, all he wanted was to be back.  It is just the right thing to do, having a player with that much dedication and loyalty to the team to stay the rest of his career!
