Corey Crawford has been an integral piece of the Chicago Blackhawks over the past 12 seasons, going on 13 seasons. While you may not be a fan, you can’t deny that he has shown up for the big games and delivered on multiple occasions, more specifically in 2013 and 2015 with the Stanley Cup core.
I’ll be honest with you, I wasn’t always a fan of Corey Crawford. At first, I gave the defense a majority of the credit, because that top-6 defensive unit was elite for many years.
As time went on, the defense gradually dissipated and players moved on.
