What debate? It's the Hall of Fame, not Hall of So Good.

My best argument is that Ed Belfour was inducted this year, with an almost identical GAA and save % as Osgood. Eddie has 83 more wins, but he also has 219 more games played...and Ozzie has 2 more rings...

One way to take a penalty.
(Helps if you're 5-2 up at the time; even then, the manager wasn't pleased: he substituted the taker, even though he'd only been on the pitch for nine minutes.)
