Crunch Corner: Special Teams Propels Crunch to Three Wins

Take away their number one defenseman and they still win.

Take away their starting goaltender and they still win.

As long as you don’t take away their power play, the Syracuse Crunch are going to find a way to win right now. They swept all three games this past week by swamping their opponents in a deluge of goals. In the 180 minutes they played over the week, the Crunch scored fifteen goals (including three empty netters). Seven came on the power play.

It’s not a matter of if the Crunch are going to score on the power play, it’s just when and how many at this point.
