The good news is that the Syracuse Crunch won two out of three games last week. The bad news is that the loss on Friday was one of the worst efforts of the season.
“Disturbing effort”
“No fight in us”
“Manhandled”
Those were the words Coach Benoit Groulx used following a loss to the Charlotte Checkers that saw the Crunch concede a two goal, first period lead. After a solid effort in the first period, the Crunch were dominated for the rest of the game by the Checkers who scored three consecutive goals to snatch the game away.
