Nice description Hose. Volkov looked good in the preseason game here, but was very out of place the first several games. He is absolutely adjusting, but is starting to get on the score sheet for good things. His potential looks good, especially with more playing time and adding a few pounds. I am not sure of Condra's place when he comes back. He should get the "C", especially since the Crunch are playing with about six players alternating the "A"s. Wolf's post is good as well. If you look back to the posts Amerk fans made when Grouix was named Crunch coach, that description has fit his style so far to a T. We were warned, but hoped they were just missing something. Hate to admit this, but the Amerk fans were spot on. Yes, we have gone to the finals twice since the Tampa Bay-Syracuse relationship started. We have also questioned this team's heart more in the last two seasons than anytime I can remember. Perhaps the days of the old school Captain who wears his heart on his chest and does whatever it takes to help mold the team are gone for the Syracuse Crunch. If so, it is a sad day for hockey here at the War Memorial given the character of several of the players who have proudly worn the "C" for the home team in this building playing for the Stars, Blazers, Firebirds, or Crunch.
