Twitter amazed by Crawford's brilliant 48-save performance in Game 4
Warning: Media contains coarse language
Corey Crawford wasn't ready for the Chicago Blackhawks' season to be over.
With his team trailing 3-0 in the series against the Vegas Golden Knights, the veteran netminder turned in a marquee performance in Game 4, stopping 48 of 49 shots he faced in the 3-1 victory.
Vegas outshot Chicago 49-24, and it won the scoring-chance battle 41-15 and high-danger scoring-chance battle 14-5, according to Natural Stat Trick.
Of course, Twitter had some fun with Crawford's team-carrying performance:

Idk if this is a fair comparison (or a nice one lol) but - is Corey Crawford the Eli Manning of hockey? Always solid if never top five at his position, but consistently clutch on the biggest stage?
