The Blackhawks
had their fan convention over the weekend, and they’re still treating fans like
children when it comes to the condition of goalie Corey Crawford. Worse yet, Crawford did the same.
“We can’t
disclose that [the nature of his problem], and I ask you just to respect that,”
Crawford said Friday in response to questions as to what exactly has sidelined
him since last December. “There have
been a lot of rumors—people tend to do that, speculation.” Gosh, I wonder why.
The player, the
team, the league do themselves no favors when they treat an injury like a state
secret from the Cold War. Fans deserve
to know. Otherwise, players, teams and
the NHL deserve the rumormongering they make possible.
