Sharp never makes a move in a SO. Never.

I'm just happy he didn't shoot right at niemi's chest.

Have the Hawks won a shootout yet this year?

They won against the bruins a week or so ago. I don't think they have scored I ot...

I have never seen a Goalie who plays great in regulation, but looks like he has never played Goalie before in the shootout. This isn't the first shootout that Cro has gone 0-3.

Sharp is back to his old bad shootout self. Its time to replace him with Saad.

He's 88/123 in his career. Among players with an acceptable sample size, he's ahead of Howard, Miller, Quick, Brodeur, Bryzgalov, Floppy Caller Bob Mike Smith, Nabokov, Khabibulin, and Luongo (a surprisingly weak 174/251).

Not great, but I'll take him over Marc-Andre Fleury (.777), who has been prone to even more dreadful bedshittings in his career than Crawford has.

5-5, 25/38. Middle of the pack in save percentage, but 7th in wins.

He's had bad shootouts, and this was one of them, but there have been games where he's been outstanding. He certainly didn't forget how to play goalie when he was stopping almost every penalty shot he saw.

EDIT: the obvious flaw in shootout statistics is that it's a strict pass/fail binary; they don't distinguish between shots on goal and missed shots. So if a guy shoots it high and wide, or slips and falls on his ass and can't even get the shot off, it counts the same for a goalie as a highlight-reel save. Would separating saves from misses significantly affect Crawford's numbers? I don't know, and I'm not watching every shootout he's ever had to split them up myself.

Cro ranks 26th in Saves %, & 16th in Goals against avg. That just isn't good enough. He hasn't improved & if this continues, Ranta may have a chance to take his job at some point.

Any goalie behind a possession offense is going to have his save percentage suppressed by facing fewer shots. Conversely, goalies for teams that go in the shell often see their stats bumped up because they let teams chuck it on them and try to get pucks through a phalanx. sv% and GAA are good rule-of-thumb stats nowadays, but can't tell the whole story. That being said, Crawford has had a down year, there's no question. Maybe he only plays well in odd-numbered years. My biggest concern is that he won't be able to handle a workload commensurate with his salary. If your #1 goalie can only reliably give you between 50-55 starts a year, you can't allocate that much money to him.
