Five game series, like the first round of the AHL playoffs, offer little room for error. Teams that go down in the first or second game have much less of a chance to come back during a best-of-five series than a best-of-seven. Thankfully, the AHL’s second round is seven games, which gives the 0-1 Syracuse Crunch a little bit of a cushion against the Toronto Marlies.
Groulx on the compete level last night: “As a group, I think we did well. Individually, I think there’s certain guys that need to be better next game.” #TORvsSYR#CalderCup | #GoGetIt pic.
