35 points to go.

Beating the Sharks that way is impressive. Is Crawford carrying the team or is it more the offense? I am behind on the NHL at the moment.

Crawford stunk up the joint at the beginning of last night's game giving up 3 goals in the 1st but nothing after that.

He's been good enough.  I still don't think very highly of him.

Yup, 1 goal was a bad rebound, another he should have had straight up and the last one he just got plain beat. Crawford bailed the hawks out once of the games hes played. Emery has had the best performance of either that one game but crawford is consistantly decent. They play the sharks another 2 times this month i believe.

Considering the AVS are on Chiefs level of sucktitude I think I will watch the next Chicago game as they seem to have high scoring games. Colorado's owners have pissed me off with their cheapness so I am mad enough at the management to not follow them much this year. Down 0- 3 now. 

Well, to me the Chicago games should be exciting even if Crawford is not elite. I still saw him steal a few games last season. 



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.

Yeah, a lot of the best teams win off of less shots due to having a lot of skill players and not just taking sloppy ass shots. Which is actually the current state of the avs. High shots and hardly any results. It should be interesting tomorrow for me.



Hey, does anyone here have NHL 13 preferably for X360? Think it would be cool to get a bunch of us playing together!



Blackhawks 9-0-2

33points left



I was so impressed by Chicago's bad assness that I stopped watching after two periods because they wasted Phoenix.  

Patrick Kane was everywhere. And Jonathan Toews goal was a masterpiece. 

You were right Max, the Black hawks hardly allowed any shots they look unstoppable. A shame Colorado has to play them a bunch.

@Kenny I do not have it.



Rafi Torres deserved that.
