Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Corey Crawford is feeling a little left out. With backup Scott Darling set to make his fourth straight start against the Nashville Predators in game 6 of their opening round series, Crawford was asked how he was coping with being left aside for his counterpart. “(I was) a little pissed off at first,” he told Chicago Sun-Times reporter Mark Lazerus. “It’s only natural. I think that’s a good thing. It shows I want to play. However, he did put the team before himself. “We’re up in the series, so life’s good.” Crawford let three goals behind him on 12 shots and was replaced by Darling in Game 1. Darling made 42 saves in the double-overtime victory. Crawford then started Game 2 and made 29 saves in a 6-2 loss. The 30-year-old is 0-1 with a 6.75 G.A.A. and an .809 save percentage. “Crow’s a good guy, a good teammate, a good pro,” said Joel Quenneville. “I’m sure he wants to play in the worst way.” Darling is 3-1 in the series to go along with a 1.73 G.A.A. and a .950 save percentage. Does "The Crow" deserve a second chance in net?
