Crunch fall two wins short of a Calder Cup championship

Unfortunately for the Syracuse Crunch, they were again on the losing end of a hard fought battle with the Grand Rapids Griffins, and lost Game 6 with a score of 4-3. The ‘Cuse put forth a valiant effort and dominated most of Tuesday’s match, but ended up falling short of the AHL’s most coveted prize by just two wins.

After a decisive game five win back in Syracuse on Saturday, the boys in blue looked poised to continue their winning ways at Van Andel Arena. The first goal of the game came at the 14:09 mark of the first period courtesy of Yanni Gourde.
