This is not to pick on you cheerio...but this sentiment about Crawford confuses me greatly and it seems to be growing and accepted.
I get he may not be "elite" in the Lundqvist/Price etc class....but the guy is far from "average"
Just a cursory look at last years stats says he was among the leaders in wins, save%, GAA (among guys that were bonafide starters anyhow)....not to mention 2 Stanley cup championships in recent times.
I think he deserves a LOT more credit than he receives.
