Chicago Blackhawks Morning Links- Crawford Can’t Do It Alone

Good morning Chicago Blackhawks fans! After 173:09 minutes of scoreless hockey, Corey Crawford finally surrendered a goal in the third period of last night’s game against the Montreal Canadiens.  It is evident that as great as Crawford is playing this season, he can’t do it alone each and every night. 

Corey Crawford is off to the best start of his NHL career when you look at save percentage and Goals Against average, but when you look at wins and losses he’s off to one of his worst starts in his career at just 7-5.

The reason is pretty simple, the offense outside of the first two games of the season is Missing in Action, and even Patrick Kane looks lost out there on most nights.

One thing is for certain, something needs to change or this is going to be a very long season, and the Hawks are going to waste Corey Crawford in a career season.

Crawford has been magnificent in almost every game he’s played in this season, and yet the Hawks can’t give him any goals to play with.  When I’m at work and a game is on, the updates used to happen all night long, now half the time the only update you get is a scoreless period coming to an end.
