Hawks 2, Detroit 1


Corey Crawford seems to have regained his mojo, and the Blackhawks are suddenly playing as in days of yore.

Crow has a .958 save percentage in the last four games- all victories. Only five to go, and we'll be at .500 for the last eighteen. :(

The trade deadline is Monday, and the clock is ticking on General Manager Stan Bowman. Crawford seems to have recovered just in time; there had been talk of including him in a package to land a more reliable goalie. If Crow can keep this up, that may not be necessary. Maybe now we can address the hole on the Good Guys' blue line left by the inexplicable trade of Bryan Campbell.

Another top-notch forward wouldn't hurt, either. This team still hasn't recovered from the blow dealt the 2010 Stanley Cup champions by Dollar Bill's Revenge, the salary cap. Right now I don't see us as a Stanley Cup calibre team. We've got some rebuilding of the lower half of the roster to do, and I, for one, wish Bowman would get on with it.

No more Campbell trades, though. I'd hate to think of Stan Bowman as the Jim Hendry of hockey.
