No. Did any of the Ducks defenders when the Hawks were blasting shots from the slot that Anderson was gloving?
You need your goalie to make saves when the D breaks down. Their guy did it better last night.
But don't let me get in the way of the agenda.
It shouldn't have to come down that, but it often does. That's playoff hockey.
Their guy made one better play than ours. That's often the difference in a playoff game - i.e., Lundq giving up a terrible OT goal to lose the other night in an 11 goal game.
Crawford has to make that save. Andersen hasn't given up a weak goal all series and has made some incredible saves.
But it's all moot. Anaheim scored two goals on Tues in 6 periods. They scored two last night at the UC.
4 goals in 9 periods. That should mean two losses.
It shouldn't have come down to that. The offense needs to score. 5 goals in 12 periods including 1 goal scored in two of the three games. Won't be any team doing that.
So, yes, I do blame Crow for going down too early and losing the puck. Moreso I blame the key players - Toews, Hossa, Sharp, Saad and Bickell. Not producing offensively. At all. The above named players have one goal to their credit through three games. That one goal was a fluke that went off a d-man on a PP. Kane did score an amazing goal, but has been a turnover machine all series and he's missed at least 3-4 point blank chances.
Score goals and the Hawks are up 2-1, possibly 3-0.
