There was some good news for Syracuse Crunch fans on Tuesday, as their team added a former first-round pick that put up prodigious scoring numbers in junior hockey. A few months later than originally expected, Conor Geekie will be putting on the blue and white (and other colors depending on theme nights) of the Crunch as he was assigned to the Lightning’s AHL affiliate.
What’s good news for Crunch fans, might be, well, just news for Lightning fans. Geekie earned his spot on the opening night roster with a really strong training camp, but of late, his impact on the team has waned.
