Thoughts:
Crawford looks out of sorts. That bouncing puck between his blocker and glove was just weak. He actually knocked it in himself with his stick hand if you look at the overhead replay. It squirted through and he popped it over the line. Ugh. Aside from that he just looks shaky.
As mentioned above, the bottom 6 forwards are starting to scare me. Kane, Toews, Hossa, Stalberg, and Sharp are playing like we expect, but whoever is the 6th of those pairings is questionable, and the rest of the forwards are bothersome. Bolland seems to still be suffering from his injury, Bickell has gone into hibernation, Frolik is a ghost, Smith doesn't get playing time and doesn't do anything with it when he does, Kruger is like Tinkerbell out there at times, and Mayers and Carcillo have cooled off considerably.
Leddy, Hjalmarsson, Keith and Seabs are solid if occasionally spotty, and Montador is fair to partly cloudy, but O'Donnell is a joke and Scott can't skate downhill with a push.
