I've battled back from a lot, but it's tough to battle back when you're sitting on the bench. I'm not going to put my head down and cry. Manny's hot, and he deserves to play. That's no disrespect to Legace, who has been brilliant. But these things happen.
Players get hot.
Players get cold. Goalies are like quarterbacks, requiring supreme confidence, and when it goes, it's difficult to get back. It's important that no one overreacts, that Bowman and the fans not break Osgood, who deserves better. I've seen lots of goalies get eaten up in this town. I know what it's like when they're afraid to play at home.
