Chicago Blackhawks’ Crawford Shuts Out Blues: Twitter Reaction

The Chicago Blackhawks were coming home after being swept in Florida, losing to the Lightning on Thursday and the Panthers on Friday. The Blackhawks looked tired and sluggish in those losses. In the first 20 minutes against the Blues, it was more of the same sluggish, lifeless play. If Corey Crawford wasn’t on his game tonight, the Blackhawks would have lost this game by a wide margin. After the lifeless first period, the Blackhawks would get the offense going. Artemi Panarin scored the game’s first goal on sweet backhanded pass from Patrick Kane. Andrew Shaw would add a third-period power playgoal to seal the Blackhawks’ victory. Tonight’s shutout was the league-leading seventh for Crawford.

#Blackhawks' second line vs. Tarasenko group. Whole lotta offense out there.

#Blackhawks again getting outworked, out skated, outshot early on ... #Blues hold 6-2 advantage in shots 6:55 into the game. Still 0-0.

Credit to Gustafsson. I can't think of many misplays/mistakes he's made. Pretty impressive for a Rookie thrown into a Top 4 Role #Blackhawks

Stop me if you've heard this before: #Blackhawks being outshot by a decent margin and Crawford making the stops.

It's now 11-4 in shots for #Blues over #Blackhawks but the score remains 0-0 with 5:28 left in 1st. The ice is still tilted.

In other news, Brian Elliott is very lonely on the other end of the ice. #Blackhawks

@Blackhawk_Up have the Hawks had any possession in their zone tonight?

How bad have the #Blackhawks been thus far? Steve Konroyd is raving about a spin-o-rama by Keith in which he fell down doing

Instead of Patrick Kane bobblehead night it should have been travel pillow night. ? ? #Blackhawks

@Blackhawk_Up The #Blackhawks have played a whole lot of games in a short span.They have to be tired. Heck I'm tired of watching them. #ASB

END OF FIRST PERIOD: Still-sluggish #Blackhawks get outshot 12-6, but both teams have what the little boy shot at — nothing.

Even Pat Foley sounds bored
— Puckin Hostile (@PuckinHostile) January 25, 2016

Last time these teams played there 15 (15!) penalties. Zero tonight. They're just too tired to hate each other.

73rd point of the season by Kane as he got assist on Panarin's goal. On pace for 115 if he doesn't get another one tonight. #Blackhawks

More like Hossa fires and Shaw scores, but whatever, it's still 2-0. #Blackhawks

Andrew Shaw tips it in. Give him credit, not Hossa.

Pat Kane: assist tonight. Leads NHL in goals, power play goals, assists,and points. Has a 16 point lead in scoring race. #mayorofdanglecity

Blues announcers just said it's kinda been a boring game to be honest with you ??? #CHIvsSTL #STLvsCHI @Blackhawk_Up @HawksBreakdown

If you want more scoring in the @nhl All Star Game, not inviting @NHLBlackhawks #Crawford should help. 7th shutout tonight . @Blackhawk_Up
