Crawford's UBI is Head-Related

[JaegerDice]

Probably not news to anybody, as concussion is usually an educated guess anytime UBI is mentioned.

Still, potentially devastating news for the Blackhawks. Crawford has obviously be critical to two of the three Blackhawks cups, and he's been even more important this year on a worse possession team that gives up more shots and chances than what has been the norm for this core.

Hopefully he's healthy for game 1, but obviously his long-term health comes first.

Good news, indeed.

I can only hope that it's a strong "hopeful."

We've heard this Q speak before - which makes Crawford's status difficult to decipher. Q was less than convincing the way he stated it....

That said, Q was quite calm when addressing the press. If there is any anxiety in his mind about his team's performance lately, he is hiding it well. He obviously believes that there is a switch to be flipped.

I would think so
Coach Q: hopeful= hopeful
Coach Q: "we'll see"= who knows?

He is always pretty monotone and calm, most of the team is that way minute Crow who is alway angry.

I will get excited when he is on the ice and they give a date. With the old noggin you never know.

 

[DPHawk]

Looks like he's working his way back.

 

[Sir Loin]

Eeeeeeexcellent.

 

[BrianE]

Injured or not wouldn't doubt Q is resting him and preparing for round one.

 

[SAADfather]

Man that's a sigh of relief to see 50 on the ice.

Q hoping he gets a game of two before the playoffs.
