Tuesday: Crunch 6 - 2 IceCaps
In what was one of the worst performances in recent memory, the IceCaps and Crunch went head to head in a chippy affair. St. John’s alone had 68 penalty minutes, including three ten-minute misconducts and two ejections .
The IceCaps history of slow starts continued, when just 43 seconds after the opening puck drop, Matt Taormina scored to give the Crunch a 1-0 lead. Six minutes later, Tanner Richard threw a bouncing puck towards IceCaps goaltender, Charlie Lindgren. The rookie netminder was unable to control the puck, which then found the stick of Jeremy Morin.
