You shout that after every loss. 15 years ago I'm sure you would have been on the "get rid of Belfour, he can't win the big game" bandwagon.

ummmm he did not win the big game...so whats your point
As far as Crawford, I though they played great against the Nucks, but is way to inconsistant, thats my beef with him. You simply can not let in a soft goal like the first one on Taylor Hall why Hall's stick was covered and was out of position, that was the moment shift, the team was playing fine up to that goal. I am telling you it seems like the team is uneasy with Crawford, once he lets in a soft goal, they know they are in for a rude awakining. I will get my wish really soon, Emery will get the starting job.

And yeah, I think Q's lost the 'stache fear. I don't get the vibe from him I got in the SC year where he had command presence.
Honestly, I don't care who's in net because last night both goalies let in about 1 goal every 5 shots. Crawford was really brutal, but so was Emery.
I got a gut feeling the implosion will continue--mainly because no one is stepping up and getting pissed at the schizophrenic play of the entire team.
Emery comes out and plays how he has played most of the season, but it doesn't matter. The Hawks play too conservatively, still give up a ton of shots, but fail to generate any offense. Team loses 3-1. All three Calgary goals coming off of shots from the point that go in because of a screen, are deflected, or the rebound is banged in.
We win 4-2...4 being an empty netter...
I can't decide if I'm happy that they are getting right back out there, or concerned about not having enough time for the previous two loses to really kick them in the nuts.
It's better to get right back out there. Letting a loss like that last one stew over a few days is bad news.
Yes, I tend to agree... but if they don't have time to work on the things they obviously need to fix... I fear we may see a repeat performance.
Crawford not starting is the biggest thing they need to fix, and that's fixed. So we'll see.
If Emery plays like he did against the Oilers, we are screwed. Neither guy is going to make a difference IMO.

agreed, I really think he is done as a starter. now lets see us do something with that D, Stan hopefully is working overtime.

You know as well as I do that coming into a game like that SUCKS for a goalie. He was also left out to dry on two of those three goals. Two of them were tap-ins from five feet away, with not a defender in sight. The Gagner wrister was a snipe, but probably one he could have saved.
Seems like every team has a team they just can seem to figure out no matter what the teams record is. Hell look at Carolina they just swept Boston for the season last night. I can't imagine this team will not be ready to play tighter D after last night even if its a back to back. Emery should keep us in it.
Obviously, but if you really think Emery is going to be the guy to save our season, you're kidding yourself.
He doesn't have to save the season. He just has to be better than Crawford. Not very hard at this point.
I seem to recall Emery starting against the Oilers earlier in the year, and allowing 7 goals on 27 shots.
That's much better than Crawford...

Aside from 1-2 games, he's been extremely solid. Can't say the same for Crawford.
At this point Emery is less eratic than Crawford. Emery played well when given consecutive games. Let's see if Emery can step up for us now. Certainly can't be worse than Crawford at this point.
Ton, I know your on Crawfords bandwagon, and your intitled to that, but you were also on Huet's bandwagon and you saw how that turned out. I just don't trust him with this team, another year, sophmore slump, maybe but we can't have that if were trying to win the cup. Do I think Emery is the solution to winning the Cup, I don't know, but he has not been given the chance, he also comes with a great resume, we all saw the 10 game stretch that he played and did a great job. Crawford was given two chances this year and has dropped the ball, makes you wonder about that contract if its getting to his head. I'd rather have someone trying to play for a starting job or a contract, rather then someone who trying to battle the demons in his mind.
There was nothing wrong with Huet other than the fact that he made too much money and took up too much cap space for what he brought, otherwise he would still be in the NHL.

Err, I have to respectfully disagree with that.

Seriously, you just agreed with me.
Ton I had to edit this comment to make more sense...

Lol, good stuff.
I'm concerned with the Hawks goalie situation as much as anyone, but for me it's not a talent issue. Maybe it's time the Blackhawks looked at Stephane Waites resume, not to mention Quenneville's knack for ruining goaltenders. Every goaltender the past 10 years has come through Chicago with high hopes, success elsewhere, or plenty of potential... only to shit the bed when they arrive.
Not many other teams, other than the Capitals, can say they have such terrible success with goaltenders. Perhaps Niemi is thanking his lucky stars he didn't stay in Chicago, his head might have been on the block instead of seeing success.
