Chicago Blackhawks’ Crow Goes Down, Returns, Leads Way In Win

Goaltender Corey Crawford going down with an injury is about as appealing to the Chicago Blackhawks as a hole in the head. It’d probably have a similar effect on this team, too.

But that’s exactly what the Blackhawks saw happen in tonight’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, when Evgeni Malkin‘s knee appeared to make contact with Crow’s head as the two chased a puck.

Some will say this is a flop, but I think it’s pretty clear Malkin’s back knee/leg clips Crow.
