TORONTO — Chicago Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford is basically on call for Team Canada during the World Cup.



Crawford’s prepared to play if there’s an emergency, but he understands Canada’s net belongs to Carey Price. That won’t change unless something drastic happens. Anyway, Crawford’s just happy to be invited to the World Cup party.



While Canada’s large contingent of media swarmed elsewhere during the World Cup media day on Thursday, Crawford was free to talk 1-on-1 for Three Questions with Corey Crawford (plus a few bonus ones).



Scott Powers: How do you utilize the World Cup to prepare for the season if you’re not playing much in the games?



Corey Crawford: Try and get as much work in practice, I guess, morning skates as you can. When you’re not playing a lot, that’s pretty much what you got to do. Me and [Braden Holtby] haven’t seen too much here pretty early in this...
