For all the talk that the Rangers are the only team that hasn't faced a legit starter - I don't think that the Kings have, either.

I believe SJ played two separate goalies throughout the series. Anaheim may have even played 3. Crawford is comparable to Fleury in my opinion.

Both teams will face their first real goalie test if they match up. What makes it crazier is that I think that any games played will be a track meet. North-south hockey with odd man rushes galore.
 
Hawks' special teams are getting absolutely obliterated. They are not a good road team.

Also, Crawford is certainly NOT the reason the score is 3-0. He's not the type of goalie that's gonna make these saves. Hawks' D and PK is leaving him out to dry, big time. Seabrook and Keith have looked incredibly human (although Seabrook generally gets overrated, he can be bad defensively), and Oduya/Hjalmarsson aren't stepping up for them.

Well our PP/PK differential is light years better than either of these teams.
 
I'm not really worried about Hank and our D against either team. It's our offense going up against LA's D and G. We can barely score on Tokarski lol.

We don't have to score 7 every game. We just have to score one more than the other team.

I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. :laugh:

Shelled? What, aren't the shots like 8 for LA? I'd say that's more a testament to the lack of defense by Chicago. They're letting LA set up in the slot with little to no opposition for Christ sake!

True but my point really is that they are getting owned. :laugh:
 
As good as Quick is, he doesn't terrify me.

The only goalie that I would be terrified to play against is Hank...and, thankfully, we don't have to worry about that.

Agreed.

Rangers are already going hard for wraparounds and passes parallel to the goal line. Those should be dangerous when Quick is going for a stroll the way he likes to.
