The Crunch scored one whole goal in Game One and Game Two combined and today they had just 18 shots on goal. Cleveland’s got a talented roster, but they never were this focused defensively during the regular season. It’s on the Crunch now to find a way through when the scene shifts back to Syracuse on Wednesday if they want to extend their season.
