I'd just as soon see them get humiliated, because that's how they played after it was 2-0. Lazy and resting on their lead, and Crawford had, well, I don't even need to go into his night, it's in black and white in the final score.
Don't even get me started on the defensemen- a unit that has left Crawford in shit situations countless times. He's been awesome for a lot of the time, but damn he definitely has his games where it looks like he has no business in net.
At this point, I still have confidence in his play because these hiccups have happened before and he's come up big time and again, and able to put it behind him and not shake his play going forward. The cornerback mentality- you have to forget the last play even if you just got torched.
Better than a 3-2 loss, imo, because it sends a wakeup call, I hope, that this will not be a series they can just "skate through", and it's not getting any easier going on the road where Quinney won't have the luxury to make final subs for matchups.
Also, maybe it's just me, but these 2 opening games have been the worst officiated of the entire playoffs so far. Or, am I in the minority?
