2008-09 Chris Osgood Game-Worn Stanley Cup Final / playoffs Home Jersey
Chris Osgood was born in Peace River, Alberta on November 26, 1972 and excelled in the WHL. Drafted 54th overall by the Detroit Red Wings in 1991, Osgood saw his first NHL action in the 1993-94 season going from nothing to a 41 game goaltender. Within two seasons, he quickly worked his way up to becoming the undisputed starter of the team. Osgood won his first award, the William Jennings Trophy in 1995-96, and secured his first ever Stanley Cup in 1997 as number two to Mike Vernon. He then won his next Stanley Cup the following season in 1998, as the team's starter. In 2001-02, he was acquired by the New York Islanders, and in 2002-03, the St. Louis Blues utilized his services. For the 2005-06 season, Osgood returned to the Detroit Red Wings and led them to one more Stanley Cup in 2008. He also led the team to a seven game battle in the 2009 Stanley Cup Final against the Penguins that resulted in the Pens taking home the Cup. Osgood played until the 2010-11 season before retiring from hockey. In 744 games, Osgood recorded a 401-216-66-29 record with 50 shutouts, a 2.49GAA, a 0.905% save average. On top of that, he also recorded a goal and nineteen assists in his regular season career. In the playoffs, he appeared in 129 games, recording a 74-49 record with 15 shutouts, a 2.09 GAA, and a 0.916% save average. As it stands right now, Chris Osgood is the league's tenth all-time winningest goalie and one of the only ten goalies to ever have over 400 career wins. Of the ten, he is one of only nine of those to win the Stanley Cup, and also of the top ten, he is also one of only six to have won three or more Stanley Cups in his career.
This is a 2008-09 Stanley Cup Final Game Worn home jersey used by Osgood in the 2009 Finals against Pittsburgh, used in games 1, 2, 5, and 7. May 30, 2009 was the first game in which he wore this sweater, recording a 3-1, 31 save victory. The next game was May 31, 2009 in a mirror image affair, where the game was once again a 3-1 victory, and Osgood once again made 31 saves. June 6, 2009 was the next game with this sweater and it saw the Red Wings win 5-0 to go up three games to two in the series. The final game in which this sweater saw action was on June 12, 2009, game seven of the Cup Final. In that game, Osgood and the Wings were defeated 2-1 and Pittsburgh lifted the Stanley Cup. On top of that, the sweater has been photomatched to the Semi-Finals against Anaheim, and also the Conference Finals against Chicago. It was also likely used fresh in the first round against Columbus.
The jersey features amazing wear, indicative of a highly competitive playoffs for Chris. There are eight team repairs on the jersey, an unrepaired hole, and several black puck marks. An immaculate piece of history used by one of the NHL's all-time greats!
