4 goals a few times isn't way outside the natural flux of probability in random number runs.
I watched the Sharks vs Calgary last night, and the Sharks announcers were still talking about Darling being the best man on the ice just a few days ago.
I've been in this for Darling's trade value since the surge. I see no reason to let him walk for nothing at the end of the year, but recognize he is a valuable back-up we may need and would be screwed without if we faced the playoffs without Crow.
My take is really that if you think bluntly, we won't win a cup if Crow goes down. So that isn't a risk you are actually covering. His worth at the trade deadline, if Quick had a set back, or Price, etc...could be high...like 1st round pick or a cheap quality young forward high.
We need to always be finding value somewhere to keep this ship going, and so for me I take the chance Crow will be ok come playoffs, we can get by in other situations, and I do the deed. Its about cups, not about panic about god forbid your goalie goes down and you are done for. Well yeah...we would probably put up a good fight but go down riding Darling.
He has auditioned well for some teams. He has size, experience, and a .925 save percentage over extended minutes.
Hopefully a little rest does him good, he can learn from all this, make a few more quality starts before the deadline, and be our most movable asset at the deadline.

As for the loss...I'll take the "my bad" on that one.
Rant was over the line.
And I was looking at the schedule and thinking a 15 game point streak or win streak was even possible if we could win a couple key games and get Crow back in time. We didn't get Crow back in time.
9 games from now the schedule gets bleak so lets get going and stay on top at least until then.

Perhaps the Vegas story will make Darling a valuable free agent this off-season to them. Man had some vision there. I hear they have a couple open goaltender slots.
