* Crawford may lose his job:

If Corey Crawford had been lights out for the Blackhawks against the Flyers then it would be an easy call to also give him the home opener.

But that wasn't the case.https://t.co/aMeW8HqGou

* Is The Cat In The Doghouse?

Wow, DeBrincat with only 9:45? I would've thought it was more. But Colliton probably trying to get a look at all his lines in the first two periods. #Blackhawks https://t.co/J5HLavL4RH
