Crunch Win Again
The Syracuse Crunch beat the Albany River Rats 3-2 in overtime Friday for their seventh consecutive win. Crunch goalie Karl Goehring stopped 35 shots to earn the victory. The game ended on Brett Motherwell's one-timer from center point off a pass from Derick Brassard. Captain Zenon Konopka provided a screen on the edge of the crease to shield All-Star netminder Michael Leighton.
The victory moves the Crunch within 6 points of second-place Manitoba in the North division standings. Syracuse will likely play the Moose in the opening round of the 2008 Calder Cup playoffs. They have eight games remaining to try and pass Manitoba to earn home-ice advantage in the series.
I'm a sports reporter who most recently covered Syracuse University football for Clear Channel Syracuse (620 WHEN & 570 WSYR).
I attended SUNY Oswego where I majored in Broadcasting-
Mass Communications. I was also the Voice of the Lakers (VOTL) from 2007-2009 on 88.9 FM WNYO Oswego. It was during this time that I created this blog, then known as the WNYO Sports Blog. Upon leaving Oswego, I took the blog with me. I am a supporter of SU & Oswego State Athletics, as well as the New York Yankees, NY Giants, and NY Rangers. The VOTL.com is also simulcast on Bleacher Report.
