Red Wings' Hasek Accepts Backup Role To Osgood
2nd June, 2008 - 12:12 am
yahoo.com - Dominik Hasek isn’t thrilled with his view from the bench, but he isn’t willing to rock the boat especially with his good friend Chris Osgood steering the ship.

Hasek entered the playoffs as the Red Wings’ starting goaltender but was replaced in favor of Osgood during Game Four of the Western Conference quarterfinals against the Predators.

“That’s the way it is,” Hasek told the Toronto Sun. “It’s definitely disappointing especially because I feel well. Like I’ve said many times, I’m ready to go any time. But the team is playing very well; we’re winning. Ozzie is doing a great job for us. So I understand the situation."

“I wish to be there but the coaches feel they better go with Ozzie.”

Detroit, which holds a three-games-to-one advantage on the Penguins, will look to claim its 11th Stanley Cup title on Monday when it hosts Game Five. [READ]
