Well now, that’s how you bounce back from a bad week, isn’t it? The Syracuse Crunch had four games last week with eight possible points up for grabs. By Sunday evening they had grabbed seven of those points, narrowing the gap they must overcome in order to make the playoffs. They still sit in 6th place, on the outside looking in, but aren’t that far from vaulting up into 5th, or even 3rd, place in the North. That’s how tight things are.
If there is any drawback to the fact that they won three of four games last week, it’s that two of their wins went to bonus time, thus allowing teams they’re chasing (Utica and Rochester) a chance to gain a point.
