This is Ozzie's statement
Osgood: “I was just trying to stand out there to make sure Nicklas Lidstrom didn’t get run because I could see two guys coming. Whether I hit him or not, it was an accident. He probably skated through my stick and that would be it. I was more or less trying to protect our best player. But I don’t think that justified a two-hander over the top of the net. He could have went about it a different way or said something to me. We’re professionals out there and we can go about it in the right manner. It did hurt a bit. A little sore, but I’ll be fine.”
