He's been taking shots at guys all series. Nothing as bad as what he did to Ribeiro, but definitely unnecessary shots. He nailed I believe Ott in the back at the end of the first last night and Ott was just skating by about 3 ft from the front of the crease. Ott turned around to have some words for him and Osgood skated away like nothing happened. Contact is to be expected but Osgood has been going a little overboard at times. The butt-end there is exactly what I'm talking about. You do that kind of thing and you can only expect to have some kind of retaliation whether you're a goalie or not. I have nothing against Osgood, but if you don't want to get hit then don't hit other guys. It's not like he's been getting run from any of the bits of games I've had a chance to see.
