Don't try with him. He just irrationally dislikes Crawford.
QFT. Any decent fan when their "expendable" player does something well that helps the team (like, you know, win the game) would give credit where credit is due, not continue to bash or make excuses just because their chosen whipping boy gave them an excuse not to whip them.
There are seriously some fans out there that if Crawford pitched a 1-0 shutout seeing over 50 ROT shots and stoning everyone in the shootout (and our boys get a lucky bounce in the shootout--not that I'm ever wishing for such a scenario), would still come off like Crawford wiped his backside into their daughter's hair.
It's comical IMHO. I've not been easy on Bickell but if the man posts a hat trick while putting half the opposition into the third row he'll definitely get some major props from me.
