It's not outrage. It's hilarity bro. I find it funny as a professional he still exaggerates his saves like he's a Peewee goalie making a YouTube video in his spare time and found it even funnier he tried to do it on Paille's OT goal but got burnt instead.

PS. What's it like lying on the internet about hooking up with girls at bars?

Every single goalie does this...ever watch Brodeur in his prime? every game 2-3 exagerated big saves at least to milk some applause. Quick does it all the time, lundqvist does it all the time, rask does it, etc...lets single out crawford tho o_O

Really? Every goalie? Not quite sir. There's a difference between the momentum of getting your glove in the way.. and flaring your glove in a rainbow arc after you've already caught the puck. Rask's saves yesterday were a great example. He just gets in the way and lets it hit him.

Example:http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/con...=sb:highlights

Crawford save on Jagr @ 9:21

vs.

Rask save on Leddy @ 6:09

Night. Day.

Bro, now you're just lashing out at everyone. Get it together.

Night and day as seen from space perhaps. Different shot angles with different motions to get to the puck with glove. I bet you don't approve of the way Crawford breathes in a presumptious manner, how dare he.

Until this series I never watched Crawford play a single game except for highlights on NHL Tonight. This has always been a trait of his on his "big saves" where other goalies just make the save and be done with it. Feel free to prove me wrong.

Nope. Watching the replay right now. The OT save on Boychuk about a minute in is another good example. He has a clear view of the shot straight at him. He catches the puck and then flares his wrist out completely unnecessarily. Like I said, I don't care how he plays I just find it funny that the bandwagon fans think that he's some God because he makes routine plays look amazing.

I think it's probably just confirmation bias and you're just rustled but that's ok. Your tirades make the thread pretty entertaining.

I want him to make crazy breakdancing routine pad saves now. I want him to get down and freeze the puck on the ice and then moonwalk from board to board.
