cant we just say our defense was the 2nd star of the week?
STL @ CHI
18 shots in relief ( I guess he gets a pat on the back for coming in cold )
CHI @ DAL
22 shots against ( thanks defense )
WAS @ CHI
18 shots against ( thanks defense )
I still dont know how the hell he got 2nd star of the week.

Crawford had a 3-0-0 record, 1.09 goals-against average and .948 save percentage
That's why the NHL picked him

Highly doubt the guys making those picks are breaking down film, they're just looking at the numbers, and those are pretty good numbers for a week.

Bold- you can throw that away, that is a team statistic and further backs up my point that it was the defense. going 3-0-0 shouldnt net you a "2nd star" of the week. Again, how many shots did he face? He faced 58 shots which is another point tords the defense in the last 3 games.

While I agree that GAA is mostly a team stat...when a goalie puts up a .948% then the GAA average probably has a lot to do with his save percentage as well. A .948% is phenomenal. Had Crawford put up simply a good/solid save percentage like a .915% and had the same GAA over the three games, then I think that is when you really would credit the defense in a big way. Regardless, the defense and goaltending has played very well over the last 3 games, minus the first period at the Blues.
GAA isn't a full team statistic though. If a team puts up 40 shots in a game and the goalie only gives up 1 goal, he is going to have an amazing save percentage and a GAA of 1...even though 40 shots would seem to indicate that the team in front was letting him get shelled.

Funny how TBO thanked post but said it was all the defense doing their jobs and that he could play goalie 
All GAA is good for as far as the goalie is how often on avg does the puck cross the line, it doesnt take in account for other major variables. A box score would have to be used evaluate the true GAA and what factors contributed to the low GAA, Defense? Goalie win? ETC
Wins/losses are funny, anyone who believes in evaluating a goalie on Wins and Losses is off their rocker. MAF has 39 wins with a whopping .916 save % along with Bryz who is ranked 9th in wins has a .911 save %. all stats have to be used in combination to evaluate the goalie. il take a guy with a .947 save % all day over the wins/loss column.
