its thread worthy since some of us wanted him and thought he could be the ansewer for the hawks

I would like to have seen him here. He wasn't that expensive and he has the ability to get hot, stay hot, and carry a team.

There's something about Crawford that just doesn't excite me. Believe it or not, as big of a head case as he is, I think that though Crawford might be more steady every day, Emery can flash brilliance and carry a team. Niemi could do it. Khabi could do it.

Very few guys are consistently solid AND brilliant for stretches. We're talking about guys like Brodeur, Belfour, Roy, Rinne, et al. You generally have to settle for one or the other. I'll take "occasionally shaky and gets pulled after giving up 4 through 1 with the ability to go 7 periods without allowing a goal during a 9 game win streak" over "gives up two every night but that's all" because the former are the guys who win Cups.

I think Vokoun can be that first type guy...

when the hawks re-signed emery, it was pretty much a done deal we would have thesame goalie duo next year


I really dont mind crawford as long as we upgrade our defense, which so far we have only re-signed Oduya
