GDT: 2017 Syracuse Crunch Playoffs

[Stormbreaker]

 

[HoseEmDown]

Thomas has looked really good these playoffs. He's got all the things you look for in a defenseman, a little more seasoning he could be something. His development this year has been a nice surprise, Blujus injury really enabled him to get more ice time and he's taken advantage of it.

Early power play for the Crunch. MUST convert.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Crunch strike first, Yanni Gourde is so clutch.

 

[JoVel]

I'll join up in the second period to watch AHL hockey for the first time in my life.

 

[JoVel]

First 18 seconds that I watch AHL and the Griffins score. Perhaps I should leave already.

[TeslaCoilFan]

Poo. Bad turnover by McKenna resulting in Griffins' goal.

Now 2-2

 

[Felonious Python]

"Cheer for this guy" really is the spiciest meem rn

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Don't the two idiots calling the game have a list of Crunch players and their numbers??

They're almost NEVER saying our players' names, just "Syracuse player" which is very annoying.

Okay, they DID now mention Ben Thomas by name.

Ooo, WTG Yanni!!!

3-2 Syracuse!

 

[CupsOverCash]

Gourde again. Can't let him get away in FA.

3-2 crunch

You can listen to the sweet sounds of Syracuse's Dan D'Uva by clicking the part where it says 'home' near the pause/ff/rewind, etc. menu to 'away'.

TV break at the moment.

3-3 game

9:40 ish left to play.

 

[Felonious Python]

Thank you SO very much!!

You're welcome.



I think that Gourde may be able to parlay his performance into a contract with Vegas. That may be better for his career.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Damn. Griffins score. 4-3 with 7:19 to play

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Official time out after puck went over the glass.

4-3 Griffins with 5:48 left to play

Period 2 was totally dominated by the Crunch.

Period 3 is mostly Griffins.

 

[berlin]

Come on Crunch make it happen.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Griffins win the Calder Cup. 4-3

 

[Rschmitz]

Jesus so many offsides and that icing at the end there just neutered the pressure. I couldn't even yell at the refs because the video feed was so crappy.

Griffins win the Cup

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

I'm ashamed to admit that I haven't followed the AHL or our prospects that much aside from a few of the ones who came up to play with the Lightning this season. These Calder Cup finals are the first AHL games I've watched. Which is partly why I never comment on the prospects/AHL threads.

But who is this Ben Thomas guy??

Tonight Koekoek was solid, Dotchin was okay, Taormina was awesome, but Thomas seemed to be everywhere and doing very good things!

Where is he in his development? Years away from playing NHL? Possible roster addition from training camp??
