I ran a poll asking my Twitter followers where help was needed most on the ice for the Chicago Blackhawks. The majority of the votes, 11 out of the 16 participants, answered that the defense needed urgent help (offense and goaltending being the other choices).
They’re right; the defense needs a lot of help right now. But fans can’t forget how the goaltending also struggled last season. Without Corey Crawford, the Blackhawks were a completely different team.
It seems that all but the internal personnel within the Blackhawks organization knows exactly what is going on with Crawford.
