• Following the news Saturday morning, the Blackhawks took some time after practice to talk about their former teammate: I can t say enough good things about Crow and the teammate that he was.

• You would be hard-pressed to find anyone with a bad thing to say about Crawford as a person and teammate.
• Let’s take some time to reflect on some of the biggest moments from Crawford’s time with the Blackhawks, starting with the best Championship speech of all-time:
• What I wouldn’t give for a drive with eight consecutive power runs to knock the Saints on their rear-end. David Montgomery should be a featured player throughout today’s game. As a rusher on outside zone runs. In the passing game in the flat, on Texas patterns, and wheel routes. Up-the-middle and on-the-perimeter. As a decoy in the deep play action game. The Bears should run things through Montgomery today. Full stop.
• If Akiem Hicks doesn’t get you geared up for the most important Bears game since January 2019, nothing will. I’m going to run through a wall for that guy. Give me pads and a helmet, and put me in coach! I’m ready to play.
