Will there be another season?

I almost brought this back 2 nights ago when I was listening to the Hawks game but got distracted. It may come back eventually.

Crawford nears historic record

Goaltender Corey Crawford is 5 game away from tying the record set in 1975-76 by Gilles Gilbert for most consecutive wins. Crawford notched his 12th consecutive win on December 30th in Detroit after going undefeated for the entire month of December. Only time will tell if Crawford is able to tie or break the record.

The "Crawford" Streak By the Numbers

While Corey Crawford was not able to break the 17 game win streak record, he was able to secure his spot in history with 15 consecutive wins. Not only that but the Chicago Blackhawks now sit at 2nd all-time in longest team win streaks at 15. During the course of the streak, Crawford notched 5 shutouts. Crawford has stated that while he was unable to break the record, he is grateful that he was able to get the opportunity and that he's looking forward to the rest of the season.

Rough month for the Blackhawks. Going 4-5 on the road, but not claiming their home games isn't good either, being 1-2 in their only three home games.
