Crawford has got to control a slow roller like that, didn't do him or his defense any favors on that one at all.

what i've noticed. Patrick Kane is awful
don't know if he set the world on fire in previous series, but he's unnoticeable in this one. He doesn't play defense, takes stupid penalties, can't create his own shot, DIVES (that really pissed me off last night, when penner barely caught him up high and he laid on the ice for 2 minutes like a sniper got him from the rafters after the whistle to try and draw a call), and it looks like he's salty he's not a factor on the top 2 lines. When Q puts him up with Toews and Hossa he looks all world, otherwise he just gets into the zone and waits. And that “goal” he had last night….yeah, that was Bickell’s.

Bickell, i don't think he's that great, but he's really feeling it right now, and the guy is gonna get STUPID money from someone in the off season. His scenario = Dustin Penner. Relatively unknown in the regular season, guy gets on the national stage and shines, all the sudden he's a household name, and just like Penner getting big bucks to go to Edmonton on an offer sheet, the same will happen with Bickell.
