Talk:Chris Osgood

message: Regarding the tone tag:
"While his 1992-1993 season was spent with Adirondack, he broke through as a Detroit Red Wing in the 1993-1994 season, backstopping alongside a carousel of goaltenders for that season, including Tim Cheveldae, Vincent Riendeau, and Peter Ing. The glut of goaltenders forced the Wings to make a move at the trading deadline. Cheveldae, the team's primary starter and former all-star, was traded to the Winnipeg Jets along with Dallas Drake in exchange for veteran goaltender Bob Essensa and Sergei Bautin. Essensa did not have a strong showing in a 13-game stint at the end of the regular season, and Osgood was named the primary netminder for the playoffs."
I made a few changes already, but it's still prevalent throughout the article, and this paragraph serves as an example. "glut of goaltenders", "backstopping alongside a carousel..." Also, things like "Thus far, the 2007–08 season has been a return to form for Osgood.", a heading called "Back in Hockeytown".

replies: text: Correct. As I said, I did make a few changes, but I am not willing to comb the entire article at this time. While someone obviously put a lot of work into it, there is serious abuse of weasel words, peacock words, and non-encyclopedic tone. Additionally, not a thing is sourced, with the exception of the change that you just made. That is why the tags exist, and is the proper usage of a tag. It's not as good as a complete overhaul, but it is a step above leaving the issues unnoted and uncorrected.68.147.134.6 (talk) 06:33, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I have now listed 4 sources, three of which specifically say "Ozzie" is a nickname.  I'm not sure what criteria some people are using to define nickname, but since I can find many, many sources to back up my edits, I think I'm on pretty solid ground.

replies: text: Also, if "Ozzie" keeps getting removed, I'll be happy to take this to Rfc. Asher196 (talk) 22:07, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

text: Take it to Rfc. Will it help? who knows; will it hurt? nay. GoodDay (talk) 22:17, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

text: I think this is no longer an issue, since the nickname parameter has been removed from the template itself.  Include it within the article if it is noteworthy, and I think it probably is. - Rjd0060 (talk) 22:25, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Why was the nickname parameter removed? All Most all hockey players have a nickname and they are well documented, It's not simply calling everyone by last name like we did in high school (I grew up in Québec where you liked hockey or got beat up!) but each player has a unique nickname that follows them, some are truly un-inventive like "Gretz" for 99, others much more creative like "The Mule" (Johan Franzen). --That's Life, "Stuff" happens, people die, life goes on.

message: Osgood is the only Goaltender in the NHL to wear the "Helmet/Cage" Combo which is a helmet like the other players and a cage that covers their whole face. The remaining goaltenders use a "One piece" molded helmet, that has a small piece in the back that is attached by "elastic"-type strips to the rest of the helmet. Even Tim Tomas uses this helmet, see . His helmet is different in that it does not have the chin portion also moldedinto the helmet like most, but it is still a new style one piece. --That's Life, "Stuff" happens, people die, life goes on.
