The Syracuse Crunch opened their season in Cleveland last weekend with two games and took three out of four points after winning their opener and then losing in overtime on Saturday. The offense was cracking as they recorded ten goals, but the defense could use a little work as they surrendered nine.
Perhaps the most worrisome part of the weekend was that they were hit kind of hard in the injury department. In the first game they lost starting goaltender Max Lagace to a leg injury while Otto Somppi and Charles Hudon suffered from some collisions with the boards.
