Anyone heard anything about the starter for game 6 in the Hawks series? I am guessing they go back to Crawford, but haven't heard.

Interesting. I can see the logic somewhat, but wonder if there is more to Crawford's benching than him sucking up the first 2 games.
Yep, it's amazing more people don't realize it and give it a shot by watching it. Their loss.
That was one hell of a win. I wish it stayed in St. Louis honestly. We're a better road team.
I hope this works out great for Crawford. It could be the perfect way to get him back to form by throwing him into the game already underway. No time to think about it, just play. Or he could crash and burn again, and then Q will have an interesting decision for game 7.
He hasn't faced much of an attack since coming onto the ice.

Blackhawks are moving on.
Great return for Crawford. Faced only 13 shots over 2.5 periods. Didn't allow a goal, got the win, and hopefully he is back in a good state of mind for the Blues or the Wild.

That's because a lot of the goals against the Blackhawks this series have been due to real suspect defense. Yeah, the goalie does have to step up and make a save from time to time, but at times this series the defense hung the goalies out to dry and it made the goalies look bad. Better defense = fewer SOGs = (potentially) fewer goals.
Exactly right. The goalies have taken the blame, but the defense has been terrible at times. Changing the goalie makes them realize they have to play D.
