Pretty sure it only gave up 4 goals in 2 regulations actually.

Those last two OT goals Crawford let in were softer than Elton John at the Playboy mansion

I was hoping that this team, which is better than last year and playing a worse team in the playoffs than last year, could win a single playoff series considering this is really year 1 of the rebuild.

I'm disappointed and would like to see some coach shuffling.

Sure, I'm talking about Kane Toews Keith etc.

Definitely want to see some coaching changes as well.

:lol:

so the timing of the goals make it a glaring problem? so we should just forget about offensive support? forget about bad defense? all of that in regulation. your a blind fan.

I disagree with blaming him for everything, but that was pretty funny.

 

[DMelt36]

I'll throw some blame at Crawford for sure, but he's definitely not the only guilty party right now.

Giving up soft goals in back to back overtime playoff games.

HEY NO PROBLEM. HE MADE SOME SWEET SAVES EARLIER AMIRITE?!

 

[Jntg4]

Dress John Scott up for a game and take out Doan et al. Dress him as some other random garbage ass that we still have and get him in the game.

 

[DewsSox79]

I find it amusing that we are falling back on crawford. sure game 3 was soft, these games may not even have gotten to OT if it wasnt for crawford in this series getting backed by nothing. Im not saying he is great, but he isnt the problem.

Right.

The powerplay is a disaster.

Toews is at about 50%.

Oduya and Leddy have been chugging ****.

Crawford lets in soft goals.

 

[Jntg4]

I will say that Game 4 was the best officiated game of the series thus far.

Also the game with the least penalties to call. That game was vanilla hockey.

wow you are an idiot. do you watch the games or just look at the boxscores? your buddies on defense were pretty bad, 5 on 5 was brutal, PP sucks. But im sure you are looking at the boxscore not considering that the amount of shots tallied by the hawks being well.....non scoring chances.

crawford is the least of the problems right now

2 super soft, game winning goals. In the playoffs.

Keep defending it.

I really want to defend Crawford, I really do. And he has done some fine shit. Amazing, the saves in the 3rd before the Hawks were able to tie it up were brilliant.

BUT, it is "what have you done lately" and there is nothing more "what have you done lately" than SUDDEN DEATH. In sudden death, in overtime, he is the single reason they have lost 2 in a row. We can blame the hammer for poking it away or Leddy for doing **** knows. But when those things happen he needs to be better. And for the last two games he simply wasnt.

 

[DMelt36]

Right.

The powerplay is a disaster.

Toews is at about 50%.

Oduya and Leddy have been chugging ****.

Agreed on Toews. I believe he's symptom-free but I just don't see the same No. 19 that we did before the concussion. No idea why.

Yeah, the power play. My God.

All the love I had for Oduya during the last 3-4 weeks of the regular season is now gone. He's going to get Campoli'd out of town after this year, I think.

Leddy's still going to be a real, real good defenseman. He's just in over his head right now.

Crawford ... yeah. Two brutal OT goals. What's really frustrating about those is that he's been playing real, real well in regulation.

 

[DMelt36]

I have a hard time blaming Toews, because the dude just came back from an injury. But he hasn't looked very good this series. I find that odd considering how well he's been in the playoffs in his career, and considering that Bolland came back like a madman upon his return from concussion. I don't know what the difference is, but something is up.

Also, something is wrong with Brent Seabrook. He just doesn't look right to me.

Kane and Sharp need to start shooting a hell of a lot more. They've been damn near invisible this series and I hate that. I'd also love to see Stalberg skating like there's a rocket up his ass like he did in the regular season.

So much blame to go around right now.

He's not in game shape.

Anybody sitting out that long will have the same problem, no matter how fit they are. Analysts have noted the exact same thing about Crosby... just doesn't have the legs beyond the 1st period of games. The mind and skills are clearly there... the body just doesn't have it yet.

Sucks, but it's just how it is.
