Lots of teams are gearing up for the playoffs, and the Syracuse Crunch are among them. As they head down the stretch they’ve found themselves up against a lot of Atlantic Division teams. The Atlantic has been arguably the stronger division in the Eastern Conference this year, and every team seems to be playing like they still have a shot at the playoffs. It would be good for the Crunch to face that kind of hockey.
If you’re competing against teams that are hungry to win it’s only going to make you up the level of your play, right?
