The Career of Corey Crawford

Respect to Crawford (from a Blues fan). He was always underrated. I remember the most recent series he played against the Blues. The only reason it went to seven games at all was because Crawford was fantastic.
He proved his doubters wrong.

Great career, but no hhof. Osgood isn't even in.

Hey Shannon!!! Your live stream is happening at the moment, but I'm not able to comment during that and I feel it necessary to inform you that I REALLY ADMIRE, AND APPRECIATE YOU!!! THANKS FOR BEING AN AWESOME PERSON, AND THANK YVONNE FOR THE SAME!!! Thanks for the awesome videos too!!!

This is a Sad sad day crow was my Idol with the hawks. Crow FOREVER a hawk

Oh what a save by Crawford...Pat Foley about a million times.

CRAWFORD!!!!! CALL THE COPS!!! - Foley in Edmonton

God Bless Crawford. HOF'er

He took one look at Newark, NJ and said “I’m out.”

Guys calm down, he’s not a hall of famer.

fun fact, Crawford has the exact same career save percentage as Carey Price

And he should have won the Conn Smythe in 2013. His value wasn't realized by many until he was on a bad team, at which point some of his stats started looking a little worse as a result. True Hawks fans that watched all the games know what he meant to the team, and how damn good he was. Hope he has a happy retirement.

I’d retire too if I had to spend my last seasons in New Jersey

SHANNON I was put on a timeout in you're live chat because I asked thoughts on ANTON LUNDELL you're misses didn't read out my question so I asked a few other times in capital letters I'm a big fan of you're channel I was not being rude

Bet he retired cause he didn’t want to play for the devils

Crow will always be one of the greats in Chicago

Nooooooooo I loved Crawford

Crow is nothing but the best baby. You will definitely be missed....it will definitely be weird to not see you play this year with my boys. None the less, I wish you a very happy and blessed retirement 🙏 😊 forever a Blackhawk in my heart and hawks fans around the world as well. Love you 🥰

I enjoyed watching Crawford play for the blackhawks. Always thought he made positional saves very well. The only thing I wish was you could have had some sort of statistic that shows how many games the defense didn’t show up and it all fell to the goalie. Anyways... wish Crawford nothing but the best in his retirement, and thanks to Shannon for the video!

If Osgood isn't in the HOF, I don't think Crawford ever would be. Number retired though sounds very reasonable.

Possibly the most underrated goalie of the modern era. As a Hawks fan who watches every game I can tell you there is no 2015 Stanley Cup Championship for Chicago without Crawford in net especially vs Anaheim in the Conference Finals and Tampa Bay in the Finals (ironic after he almost lost the starting job to Scott Darling in the first round vs Nashville). When you needed a big save Crow was always there. Concussions and vertigo aside, when he was healthy and on top of his game he was better than any goalie in the league. To me he belongs in the Hall. Even if he doesn’t get there (which is likely that he won’t) I really hope the Blackhawks retire #50 someday.

I feel like Crawford was thought of the same as Osgood. Both great goalies that played for even more stacked teams. Watching Crawford in the mid 2010s was great and he was a big piece of our cup runs and deep playoff runs in general. Going to definitely miss him when we roll in with some of the worst goaltending this season

I wish he would have played with us in NJ 😣😣

He’s the all time leading playoffs wins fir Chicago so that might solidify him as a black hawks legend! He might squeak into the hall eventually. 2 cups in a 7 years run and like 5-6 30 win season straight. Last few years he was chewed up by injuries a little too much else he would of had like 8-9 straight years with 30 plus wins. Also grew up in the same city as him knew him in high school played with him and really knew his brother who is my age. Great career Crow your a legend forever :)!!!

Another great french goalie

As a Hawks Fan, a good goalie on great teams. I agree with you Shannon not a HHOFer. He is not Henrik, Marc-Andre Fleury, Rinne, Tim Thomas, Holtby, Luongo, Price, Rask of the 2010's

He came into the store my buddy’s girlfriend worked at in San Jose, apparently he’s a dick. Nice career though

Considering how many teams would give an arm and a leg for consistent, good goal tending, it's amazing that he's so underappreciated.

He was a great goalie who had a steep decline, when Chicago was winning their cups Crawford was clutch, I hated those hawks, I would have traded Howard for Crawford any day tho

Better than retiring mid game

Crawford I thank you for your service and I will miss hearing greaaaaat save by Crawford

People look now retroactively and think Niemi wasn't a good goalie, but in that 2010 season for the Hawk he was legitimately a great goalie, and I'm not sure why people look back on it like he wasn't very good because had a lot of flashes of brilliance in the playoffs that year to the point where I thought he should've won the Conn Smythe. I remember being so angry when he left via arbitration.

Shannon, it would be cool if you could do a career video on Bobby Clarke!

I will always wonder why Crawford is the only goalie to be constantly underrated just because of the team in front of him. I mean look at Vazy now, constantly top 3 in Vezina voting even though he has the most stacked team in the league in front of him every year. Just doesn’t make sense to me why Crow was written off like that.

The 2014 playoff quality start dip could be due to that rough series with the kings where goals were like candy for both sides

Is there a video explaining quality starts?
thanks.

Actually shannon the greatest quality starts season he had in his career was in 09-10.


Great vid on an amazing goaltender ;)

The Devils in their own (recent decade) losers character deliver their revenge on the blues taking Marty for his retirement by...doing that to Chicago..
(Devils fan here, don't get mad)

The most overlooked and underrated goalie to play for the hawks. Nobody gives him respect cause of his health. We owe two great runs to him. Inject this into my veins

Well, it has been as 88 said it on the cup rally in 2013: let's give it up for the real MVP, Crow!

He was as mentally tough a goalie I know

Corey Crawford has two Stanley cups in his pocket. what a save! Chicago will forever love him. He has nothing to prove so retirement makes sense....

Thanks, THG. As a Blackhawks fan, I agree with every word of your assessment of Crawford. A very good goalie, but not a Hall of Fame goalie. He got enough wins and is the only two-time Stanley Cup winning goalie in Hawks history. His #50 will surely hang from the rafters someday.

Don’t forget in 2015, we almost didn’t make it out of the first round against Nashville. Crow was way off those first two games. Thank God Scott Darling was on his game long enough for Crow to right the ship. Coming in relief in game 6 after Darling allowed three goals and shutting out the Preds the rest of the way was a big confidence boost. He was very good against Minnesota and Anaheim, but he was brilliant against Tampa (especially the last three games when he allowed a total of 2 goals and shut out the Lightning in the clincher). If you would have told me before the series we would play 6 games against the Lightning and score a total of 13 goals, I would’ve thought we’d lose.

he’s gotta go into the HOF

Im part of that bandwagon in 2013 but watching the hawks and crow win the cup made me into a hockey fan and inspired me to get into playing the goalie position. He may not be elite but hes solid and gets the job done.

He'll go down as The Rodney Dangerfield of Chicago Blackhawks goalies. (He gets no respect!)

should be in the hof he was a big reason chicago won those cups

Retire #50 put it in the rafters. Not saying he's a HoF. But.
Chicago will forever LOVE you Crow!!!!!! Man was criminally underrated simply because he was on Chicago.

Not only concussions, but he had a nasty battle with vertigo during his career too.

He deserves his number in the rafters of the United Centre.
Their dynasty wouldn’t have existed without his goaltending.
Also, on the note of his excellence he was robbed of the 2015 vezina. He was better then Bishoo that year.

Crawford with the hogs was a monster.

He literally put the hawks on his back, and won 3 rings doing so (really only 2 but go fuck yourself). My favorite player of all time and the best goalie the hawks have ever had, a true goat that DOMINATED the 2010's. I hope i can meet him and sing his praises some day.
