Rudimentary observations - Toews is probably our best player, but it feels like when Kane gets going is when we're at our best. It feels like we're a deep team and we have a ton of guys who excel at killing penalties. We play really solid defense, but we don't hit for shit. The Canucks game was a shining example of this. Still, we get a lot of steals and we are a really, really fast team. Last year we got outmuscled hard by the Coyotes, I hope we learned from that.
Crawford is a guy who baffles me. For the record, I think he's legitimately a good goalie and gets hated on a lot by the fans and Chicago media. With that being said, he does a lot of it to himself. He's definitely the starter, but Emery has looked insane when he's played. He just went 45 for 47 and was credited with 30 quality shot saves. That term seems clunky to me, but it's what the announcer kept saying. Regardless, Crawford has the talent to be a really good goalie.
Hossa is a machine. Two games ago he scores the game winner. Right before that he gets a big hit on the opposition and stops what would have been an incredible opportunity. He is by far my favorite player that we have.
