All crawford needs to do is be decent and the rest of the team can win... and the days the team is off hopefully he can step up his game. He did it once this year so far and Emery had one too.

Well he does not have the stats of league leader Craig Anderson (avs former goaltender , shake my head). But the numbers seem good. I am not very familiar with the defensive unit to attribute his play to defense or not. As long as as he can do the same in the playoffs he could carry them far. He just happened to be horrible last post season.

He only has to fight off ~20 shots a game (maybe a little higher since the last few games. Emery had 48 shots). Blackhawks have a puck control team. Their defense is having the puck and taking quality shots.
