Small sample size?

 

[TurdFerguson]

Timonen doesn't play much in OT

 

[Hawks4life]

refs are saving the pucks for them, didn't ya know.

Yep.

Crow's definitely let in some OT goals in the past, as we all know.

Yeah, against Phoenix (was it game 3 or 4?) was probably the weakest OT goal I have ever seen.

Crawford has been consistently excellent in overtime since that bad series.

Crawford has been consistently excellent in overtime since that bad series.

Even including the series against Phoenix, Crawford has a .955 save percentage with a 14-9 record in OT.

what in the world? uh because it only takes one to score.
the other goalies are basically 92 shots saved 93 attempts right?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

No Timonen/Rundblad/Cumiskey much in OT

+ reality is both have had good playoff. Despite a lot of the bashing of Crawford he is having a good playoff run since getting back in vs Preds

Haha no, they're something like 64 from 68. Chicago have won 4 games in OT.

Corey Crawford is a poor mans 'Chris Osgood'.

And I say that with the utmost respect for Crawford.

I'm sad Kimmo Timonen is no good anymore

No you don't, that's a terrible thing to say. Crawford has played very well a large part of the time.

Because the Black Hawks score before they can get scored on so their stats look perfect.

Really?

Osgood was never really a starting goaltender..... Crawford is waaay better than Ozzy.

IMO, Crawford is more of a Billy Smith or a Bill Ranford - not in style - but in role.....

I actually think Comiskey has settled in nicely, looks more comfortable every game.

Crawford won't pass the eye-ball test, but he seems to get it done when it counts. No style points, just wins.

He managed to become 11th all time in wins without being a starter? That's pretty impressive

?

Osgood had 7 seasons of 50+ starts in regular season and was primary starter for Wings/Isles/Blues in 9 playoff years

 

[icekoob]

Crawford is no Osgood. He's better than most believe and has carried the team this season and many times in the past. When he has bad stretches they are sloppy and most are quick to notice these instead.

All respect to Osgood though he's also underrated for what he was and accomplished.

Here we go...

I hope you're not saying that because Chris Osgood had a different goalie style than the norm at the time.

This isn't a Osgood vs Crawford thread both are great goalies who have often been overlooked by what they have accomplished despite being successful
