The Syracuse Crunch came into the weekend with little to play for. Normally, that isn’t a positive thing, but for the Crunch it just meant that. Syracuse wrapped up a playoff spot weeks ago, and trails first place Toronto in the standings by an insurmountable deficit. So, the only thing they could check off the list of regular things to do was lock in home-ice advantage for the first round. With three point in three games they accomplished that task. Now they can sit back over the last week of the season and watch Rochester and Utica beat up on each other (and hope both of those teams won’t beat up on them) for the privilege of being the Crunch’s first round opponent.
Crunch Corner: Can we start the playoffs now, please?
