Crunch Season Ends with Game Seven Loss in Toronto 

The Syracuse Crunch fell to the Toronto Marlies on Monday, 3-2 at Ricoh Coliseum in front of 4,753 fans.

Both teams came out looking for a fast start in the seventh and deciding game of this North Division Final series, and both teams got just that.

Toronto was the first team to get on the board when Brent Aubin deflected an Alex Foster shot past Kark Goehring on the Marlies’ first shot of the game at the 2:47 mark.

The Crunch had a quick answer when Derek MacKenize got the puck on his backhand in the slot and ripped a shot over the left shoulder of Scott Clemmensen to tie the game at 1-1 just 41 seconds later.

Toronto took the lead back before the period was halfway through when Aubin notched his second of the game. Aubin took a feed from Foster, skated down the middle and wristed a bullet over the shoulder of Goehring to give the Marlies a 2-1 lead.

The Crunch would not go quietly into the night as Gilbert Brule fired a rocket past Clemmensen on a one-time pass from MacKenzie to make it 3-2 just two and a half minutes later.

The Crunch could not score on the power play and time ran out on the game and their season.
