Syracuse Crunch embarrassed by Utica Comets in 6-2 defeat

The beauty of a long season is that certain games can be buried and forgotten over the course of six long months. Wednesday’s game against Utica will hopefully be nothing but a mere footnote once the season wraps up next spring. The Syracuse Crunch were outplayed in every aspect of the game as they fell to the Comets 6-2 in Utica’s home opener.

Cory Conacher and Chris Mueller provided the offense for the Crunch while Scott Wedgewood was hung out to dry, knocked off the clothesline and ground into the dirt by his teammates and still managed to make 32 saves.
