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".

So basically you would rather slap tags on the article than fix them.Asher196 (talk) 06:24, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
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)

[edit] Change in style.

[1]. Osgood mentioned how he changed from standup to a hybird-butterfly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TimHowardII (talkcontribs) 09:40, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
