12 Hrs Chicago Blackhawks Comment

Corey Crawford admitted that when it comes to the Blackhawks "everyone's a little pissed off."

Chicago has now lost three straight games to Detroit after taking their second-round opener. "I thought we played well again. It just seems like we can't get bounces," Crawford said of their 2-0 loss on Thursday. Crawford can't really be faulted for their latest loss after stopping 25 of 26 shots. With that in mind, it would be shocking if Ray Emery started on Saturday.

Corey Crawford turned away 25 of 26 shots Thursday, but was saddled with a loss in a 2-0 defeat at the hands of the Red Wings.

This result was far from being Crawford's fault, but given the three-game slide the Blackhawks are currently suffering through there's a chance we could see Ray Emery between the pipes for Game Five Saturday.

Crawford allowed three goals on 30 shots in the Hawks 3-1, Game 3 loss. Jimmy Howard outplayed him in the contest stopping 39 shots. Crawford will need to be better tonight if the Hawks are going to avoid going 3-1.

Corey Crawford will start in goal for the Blackhawks in Game 4 Thursday night.

He has lost his past two appearances while surrendering seven goals, but Chicago is sticking with him. Prior to Ray Emery's injury there was some talk of the Hawks using two goaltenders in the playoffs, but Emery's ailment and Crawford's solid play had stopped those conversations.

Corey Crawford allowed three goals on 30 shots as the Chicago Blackhawks lost 3-1 to the Detroit Red Wings.

It's hard to blame Crawford for this one considering two of the goals were of the highlight-reel variety. Overall, the Hawks and Crawford played pretty well but were doomed by a couple bad penalties in the third period and a questionable goalie interference call that negated what would've tied the game at 2-2. With the loss, Crawford and the Hawks fell behind 2-1 in the series and have an obviously important Game 4 coming up in Detroit on Thursday night.

Corey Crawford will get the start in goal Monday for the Blackhawks.

Crawford gave up four goals on 30 shots Saturday and there was some thought that coach Joel Quenneville might go to backup Ray Emery but Quenneville said "We're fine with Corey". Crawford is 5-2 in the playoffs with a 1.64 GAA and a .937 save percentage. Keep him in goal if you have him in your pool.

Corey Crawford kicked out 26 of 30 shots in a 4-1 defeat on Saturday.

This is just the second time Crawford has allowed three or more goals in a 2013 playoff contest and, not coincidentally, the second time Chicago has been defeated in their postseason run. The pressure is now on Chicago to capture at least one of the next two games in Detroit to reclaim their home ice advantage in the second round. It's worth noting that the Blackhawks actually had a better road record in the regular season (18-4-2) than the Red Wings had home record (13-7-4).
