2189772, I thought both teams were shooting for rebounds, smart strategy

Crawford takes up so fucking much of the net that there is never any space on the first attempt it seems. But his equipment is also huge and he's not always super duper in control of his body, so he kick some out, especially off the ends of his pad.

Oduya's shot that led to the first Chicago goal was textbook shooting for a rebound, beautiful, Sharp was shifty to get to the front of the net, too.

The Kings also shot for them, during the second intermission that had a little segment with both teams doing it. I think it's a good look against either guy. It's not an either/or thing with creating traffic either, you have to have at least one guy in front with good position for any of these plays to work.

You're definitely right about the penalties. It's weird that they have taken relatively few penalties overall, but there have been a lot of bad ones, O-zone penalties and/or lazy stuff where they are caught reaching.
