Yeah, we said it and yes we can back this up. Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Cam Ward has been an unspoken hero this year. He’s been the punching bag for almost everything that went wrong this year up until everyone woke up and saw how horrid the teams’ defense was. Ward made 45 saves on 49 shots tonight, still holding a .918 save percentage. He was the ONLY reason the ‘Hawks even had a chance in this game, as the Preds had 22 shots in the second period alone.
Save after save, he was remarkable.
