Crawford is another guy who gets no credit because he played on a team with Kane, Toews and Keith in their primes, with one of the best coaches not named "Bowman" to ever stand behind a bench.
Every year Crawford starts 50+ games, he wins 30+. Since he became Chicago's full-time starter in 2010-11, he has one season with a save percentage under .910 (2011-12). In six of the last eight years, Crawford has a GAA below 2.40.
Crawford's two Stanley Cups:
23 GP 1.84 .932
20 GP 2.31 .924
Corey Crawford was an outstanding number one goalie whose career has been undone by concussions. He was on the 2016 World Cup team for a reason. And I can tell you this much: Chicago doesn't win two extra cups if they decide Antti Niemi is 'good enough'.
