Albany's first goal on Saturday deflected off the stick of Crunch defenseman Jonathan Sigalet and over goalie Kevin Lalande; the second hit off the skate of defenseman Brendan Bell. Other than that, Lalande was excellent, including two game-turning saves on breakaways by Rats finisher Jerome Samson.
Crunch fan Allokago, a scribe over at Chairman How's Glorious Army, was pleased to have the recently sent-down Mike Blunden back in a Syracuse sweater.
How fantastic is it to have Mike F’ing Blunden back? That first goal of his was quite possibly the first highlight reel goal we’ve had all season! You could tell he was ready to come here and work at getting back in the NHL. It sucks his high performance might mean losing him sooner, but hell if he can come in and help even a little at digging us out of this hole…oh man. I’d take a few more of those pretty goals, I can tell you that much. Kind of funny that he comes to this team and is the only one scoring pretty goals besides ECHL’er Kana, but that’s where our cards are right now.
The Crunch boarded a bus for Hartford immediately after the game, where they are now playing the Wolfpack. That game got started at 3:30 p.m. You can watch that game by clicking here.
Hey, thanks for the shout-out! A friend of mine from our site directed me to your work. You do a nice job covering the major sports in this area. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, love your site. Don't be a huge quitter like Magic, keep it going.
ReplyDeleteNo worries there--this fellow SUNY Oswego grad is planning on sticking it out. Not making any promises, but the Crunch will be here for at least another 10 years, so....well, let's just say unless I actually manage to get a full time job, a husband, a dog, a house, a goldfish, and 3.5 kids in the next 10 years, I should be around. The goldfish is crucial there. Goldie would take up wayyy too much of my time.
