Incase you live under a rock, were asleep for the past 36 hours or haven’t been following the Chicago Blackhawks all that closely this season (two are understandable, one is unacceptable), Corey Crawford started his first game in ten (TEN!) months on Thursday.
Only three months ago it was uncertain whether or not Crawford would ever play hockey again. In fact, Corey himself said he considered retirement amidst his recovery. However, after weeks of conditioning and regaining his mobility, Crawford finally returned to the crease.
Crawford looked solid overall — he tracked the puck well and his mobility didn’t appear to be an issue.
