Sadly, the Syracuse Crunch were eliminated last night from the AHL playoffs. We are extremely proud of all of the players on that team. At the beginning of the year, in our staff conversations, I mentioned that this season was going to go one of two ways: either the Crunch would struggle with so many rookies in the line-up, or they would be amazingly good.
They ended up being a little bit of both.
The rookies struggled to start the season, but once they got it figured out, they went on a tear for the rest of the season.
