This week our guest on the Up My Hockey Podcast is legendary NHL goaltender Chris Osgood. Osgood played 744 regular season games, winning 401 of them, which places him as the 13th winningest goalie all-time in the NHL. He is also 8th in all-time play-off wins. 

Osgood won 3 Stanley Cups in total, including 2 as a starter in 1998 and 2008. He almost won his fourth Cup during a fantastic run in 2009, but his Red Wings lost game 6 & 7 to the Pittsburgh Penguins to fall 1 goal short. 

We discuss a ton of interesting stuff in this 90 minutes like: 

• What’s it like to get pulled in your first NHL start 
• How to bounce back after making a huge mistake 
• The most important aspects of preparation for a goaltender and why they are critical to your confidence 
• What it was like to fight is idol Patrick Roy at center ice in the 98 play-offs 
• And what player has the best backhand in hockey 
• Why mistakes can teach you or they can break you 
• And the benefit of being able to consciously choose your response to events 

Ozzy was an awesome guest and I hope you enjoy the interview as much as I did.
