The Syracuse Crunch, AHL farm team of the Tampa Bay Lightning, released their 2018-19 schedule this past week. The Crunch will be celebrating their 25th anniversary this upcoming season, and fans have a lot to look forward to. With the release of their schedule, anticipation is building quickly.
One of the biggest changes in the schedule this season took the form of a concerted effort by the league to really bring down the numbers of dreaded 3-in-3 weekends. In general, the AHL is a weekend league, with team owners preferring Friday/Saturday/Sunday games over games during the week.
