Well, that should keep the “Goalie Controversy!” Tea-Partiers at bay at least until Crawford can cough up another game.
If you’ve come here for me to make you feel better, I’m going to fail you. Up two goals twice on a team that’s got a pretty heavy injury list… you have to have that. Pretty simple. You see it out in the 3rd period, you smother it away. That is if you’re the true powerhouse that you are. Yeah, I know. Second game in two nights. Not like you had to work all that hard on Friday. You gotta have it. You don’t give away one point, much less two.
And the warts that we’ve been trying to point out were there for all to see. That doesn’t mean they won’t correct themselves over the next 41. It doesn’t mean they might not matter over the next 41. But when the spring comes, a series against this Blues team or a healthier Kings team than last spring or the Ducks is going to come down to a few little things. And there are little things the Hawks need to sort out. In no particular order…
