-Vintage Canuck- Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Quote There appears to be a mounting belief that Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Corey Crawford could be sidelined for the remainder of the season, reports Mark Lazerus of the Sun-Times. Head coach Joel Quenneville said 10 days ago that Crawford was expected to return from an upper-body injury at some point, but apparently it's not quite that cut and dry. From Lazerus: Three sources told the Sun-Times that Crawford is dealing with vertigo-like symptoms, for the second time in his career. And there is a growing concern within the organization that Crawford could miss the rest of the season, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported on Tuesday. Crawford has not played since Dec. 23, and was placed on injured reserve shortly after the holiday break, at which point he was ruled out indefinitely. Prior to being removed from the lineup, Crawford was playing some of the best hockey of his career, posting a record of 16-9-2 with a .929 save percentage. Anton Forsberg and Jeff Glass have been tending the net in his absence, and the Blackhawks currently sit bottom of the Central Division standings. Crawford missed almost a month at the end of 2015-16 with what was reported to be symptoms of vertigo, but he was able to return for the postseason. https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/1464545 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I'm curious to see if they trade for a fill in or run with Forsberg/Glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Tough for Crawford. He could've been in the Vezina conversation this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew.Doughty Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I don't think the Blackhawks would have been a playoff contender this year anyways. The Jets, Preds, and Blues pretty much locks in the central division Blackhawks would have been in the wild card race with Stars, Wild, Ducks, Kings, Flames and I don't see them being better than those teams except the wild. Retool in the offseason for them. Get a mid grade prospect. Try to trade Anisimov for some prospects in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c00kies Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Too bad there's no "Bishop" on the market this year. I don't really know any goalie that could go in and be a solid option for them, so best to just stick it out for this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm we'll see... if I'm Bowman, I go after Ryan Miller. But then again his wife probably wouldn't let him go to Chicago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their goose is cooked. There are no stop gaps that are worth bringing in that will be much better than the dog's breakfast they currently have. Here's hoping they don't make the playoffs so everyone can stop riding Bowman's jock like he is some sort of GM wizard. Plus they have zero cap room to work with. Any trade they make will mean they have to move some of their bloated contracts to balance it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I don't like them, I hope they do make the playoffs. Only thing worse than Edmonton with another lottery win is Chicago winning.

Hopefully, no team is stupid enough to trade for either one, and help out the Hawks. It will a pleasure to watch their team fall into decay, disorder, and the abyss of despair.

I guess they could try to do some smaller deals to try to improve their D but I doubt anything big happens now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combover Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I got severe vertigo in mid September still suffering from it today. Was told could take up to a year to fully recover. Wouldn’t wish it on anyone pure misery. Hopefully if he has vertigo he has the positional one which can be treated with maneuvers and exercises, I unfortunalty have the other one which only time can heal.

smithers joe Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 years ago, i had a few times, where, while standing on the ground, when i looked down, the ground looked, like several feet lower than the ground. was that vertigo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There goes the likelyhood of chicago putting down some assets for upgrades. I can't see them adding goaltending + + other pieces unless the goalie is cheap. I'd say lets offer Nilsson in a package but he hasn't exactly been reliable in long stretches. There are a lot of teams looking for goalies. curious how this all ends. Is Chicago going to bow out? or do a partial load up? (feels like a full load now needing a goalie) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
