Syracuse Crunch News

  • Looks like there’s an issue in Syracuse that has nothing to do with the team on ice or the organization, but coverage of the Crunch and web traffic derived from it. [Chairman How’s Glorious Army]
  • Newly signed prospect (and practice squad member) Cedric Paquette may not speak much English, but one thing he’s got down pat matters in any language – the drive to win [Bolt Prospects]
  • The culture of winning; eight current Crunch players were part of last season’s Calder Cup winning (Norfolk Admirals) team [Syracuse.com]
  • Plenty of scoring chances for the Crunch during the first two games of the Semifinals… Not to mention bad goaltending by Springfield Falcons starter Curtis McElhinney [Syracuse.com]

NHL and General Hockey News

  • The Leafs loss is the Toronto Marlies (AHL) gain. The Marlies, in the AHL’s Western Conference, will see it’s roser bolstered [James Mirtle via Twitter]

The Gryba hit on Eller during the opening round of the NHL playoffs put that into question… Though I do have to disagree with the football analogy that’s in this article. “Pass interference” would have been called on Gryba, and not just an “incomplete pass” declared.
