Corey Crawford has been under fire the past 48 hours after the Boston Bruins shot several glove side goals past him in game #4. In the first Stanley Cup Final series of his career,Crawford has let in eight glove side goals in the last four games. He has been lambasted in several interviews, and I’ve read plenty articles insisting we need Ray Emery in the goal for game #5, but he hasn’t seemed to sweat it like the media seams to want him to. He doesn’t intend to over think this. I have to agree with Corey and Duncan on this. According to an article I read on The Hockey News*, Duncan Keith said, “You look at the job he’s done all season for us, he’s been great all year long. I thought we let in five, and they let in six. I mean, we won the game and we’ll move on.” Word. The Blackhawks are keeping it positive and I too have faith that Craw will rock it in the net tonight. There is also word that Corey’s gloves looked spankin’ new on screen last night. Breaking in new gloves could certainly impact his game. Either way Crawford has made it this far and beat big shot Jonathan Swift of the L.A. Kings earlier in the Playoffs and beat Tuuka Rask in game #4 so… get at him!
