Just announced Crawford to start Game 2....

House money now that we have home ice so I say stick to what we do best and let them make mistakes...

Build off the momentum of the last game. Started horrible and then really took charge. No reason the Hawks shouldn't go up 2-0. Crow usually responds well too. Could be great for the Hawks.

Missed game 1 but looking forward to taking a 2-0 lead. I won't get a chance to watch the game, so I'm hoping you guys can keep this thread running with your thoughts and observations. I'll be listening online, but nothing beats getting to see the game with your own eyes.

Now Q has a goalie controversy. That third period was a damn joke (as was giving up a weak goal with 3.6 seconds left in the first to fall down 2-1). The D was bad, but Crawford looks like a man that has given up. This was the first time he came back from being pulled this season and didn't win the next start. Just bad. He doesn't look the same and he hasn't been good at all playing the puck. He had a couple of nice saves, but not enough to keep his job at this point IMO.

Yeah, that really was one 60 minute cluster-f**k all round. No point dwelling on it now, just come out strong next time and make up for it.

Those were position goals guys which is completely unlike him.... Sorry to say but darling deserves the start and I'm sure Crawford understands

I wouldn't call Nashville an offensive team or a skill team and they put up 6 against us which is a ton

Sharp... Best game of his year

Liked Kruger again, Bickell was physical everything else just looked "slow"

Nashville is out Blackhawking the Blackhawks. Playing our game, and doing it much much better.
