Crunch Corner: Special teams powers Syracuse to two wins

What a difference a week makes. Last week the entire team was broken and the players that were on the ice spent most of the time digging the puck out of the back of the net.

This week, 11 goals, 2 wins and 0 injuries later, things are looking up for the Crunch. Their play in all three zones was much improved, from coverage in the zone to breakout passes to dump-ins and forechecking. All over the ice there were glimmers of a Ben Groulx-coached team.

Hopefully, the week off doesn’t disrupt the momentum and when they return to the ice on Friday against Rochester the improvement continues.
