One common thought seemed to resonate in every player’s head in the Syracuse Crunch dressing room before this past Saturday’s game 5 at the Onondaga County War Memorial: Give the fans one more win at home.
The Crunch did just that, and they did it in spades. Winning 5-1, the victory brought Syracuse’s playoff home ice record to 11-1, just one win shy of perfect. During the regular season, the Crunch was 23-9-2-4 on home ice.
The players have had so much to say about the fan support during this past season and into the playoffs.
