Corey Crawford joined a few other teammates for an optional practice at Johnny’s IceHouse West, working to rekindle his game that fared so well through most of the regular season.
“The only thing I can do now is be ready in case I go back in,” said Crawford, who will back up Scott Darling when the Blackhawks host the Nashville Predators in Game 4 of their first-round series. “Other than that, encourage the guys, stay positive and make sure the body language is good. Everything’s positive around here. There’s a nice feel around the room, nothing negative.”
Crawford is taking the situation well outwardly – he could be handling it the same inwardly, too, for all we know.
