08:30 AM ET 03.05 | It's that time of year again. If it's the stretch run of the season, the Blackhawks must have a new No. 1 goaltender. Ray Emery has displaced Corey Crawford as the Hawks' starter and has run off three consecutive victories, including a 23-save performance in Sunday's 2-1 victory over the Red Wings. Last season, Crawford took over for Marty Turco as the starter, and in 2009-10, Antti Niemi seized the job from Cristobal Huet and backstopped the Hawks to the Stanley Cup. "It's very unusual," said coach Joel Quenneville, who has been behind all three changes. "Once is probably plenty, twice is a lot and three is unusual. I just think it's all coincidental and it's the way it seems to be working."

that win keeps a nice little win streak going for Chicago.
my question is - Will Emery be able to start from here on out (minus a few back to back nights)

I really hope this is the beginning of some consistency from him. His last couple games have been good. He's picking the right time of the year to pick it up if that's what's going on here. (I knocked on wood the entire time i typed this)

Disappointing the Wings lost, especially outshooting them as they did, but still not a bad showing without Pavel, Lidstrom, Erickson, and losing Kindl and Howard during the game. Howard says it's not serious, Wings' fans have got to hope that's true.

...and, at this point, 4 Central Division teams would be in the playoffs. Tough division.

I don't know, Roam.
Everyone is thinking Bryz is brining back the Cup after that game yesterday. Read some of the articles written about that game? ;)

Maybe he was saving it all for the stretch/playoffs? Came to that decision after a deep talk with his hot blonde?
