Patrick Roy (COL - Goaltender)
News: Roy has been hired as coach of the Colorado Avalanche. The team says Thursday it has reached an agreement in principle with the Hall of Fame goaltender to take over as coach and vice president of hockey operations. [+]

News: Crawford will start Saturday's Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals against Detroit with the Blackhawks trailing 3-1 in the series, according to the Associated Press. [+]
Impact: This isn't much of a surprise considering Crawford did enough in Thursday's Game 4 loss to Detroit, allowing just one goal in the shutout loss. Chicago is facing elimination on Saturday and Crawford will need to be perfect if the series' previous three contests have been any indication. ( RotoWire - Sat. May 25, 2013) |
News: Crawford gave up just one goal on 26 shots in the Hawks' 2-0 Game 4 loss to Detroit on Thursday. [+]
Impact: Considering that he limited the Wings to one goal prior to the empty-netter in the final minute of the third period, Crawford likely erased any talk of a change in goal for the Hawks when the series goes back to Chicago for Game 5 on Saturday. ( RotoWire - Fri. May 24, 2013) |
News: Crawford will start Game 4 against the Red Wings in the Western Conference semifinals despite some murmurs that the team would start Ray Emery, ESPN-AM 1000 in Chicago reports. [+]
Impact: The murmurs were not that serious. Despite letting three goals on 30 shots in the 3-1 loss to Detroit in Game 3, Crawford has not played that poorly and it has been more the Blackhawks' offense that has been the problem. ( RotoWire - Thu. May 23, 2013) |
