Deafening chants of “we want the cup” echoed thunderously through the Onondaga County War Memorial Arena after a series clinching win by the Syracuse Crunch against the Providence Bruins on Saturday night. The emphatic win sets up a chance at redemption in the Calder Cup Finals. The boys in blue will take on the same Grand Rapids Griffins team that stunned them four years ago.
While the logos and cities remain the same, the rosters are almost completely different. Crunch veteran blueliner Matt Taormina was on the losing end of that series back in 2013, but this time he believes the Crunch are better suited to take home the hardware.
