Rochester, N.Y. -- One moment, they’re celebrating an improbable rally and overtime victory.Seemingly the next moment, they’re packing up their skates and equip
Twice the Amerks pulled within a goal – to 2-1 when Jeremy Davies steered home a perfect 50-foot Joseph Cecconi pass to the left edge of the crease at 17:33 of the first period and to 3-2 when Jiri Kulich’s shot/pass to the deep slot caromed past goalie Brandon Halverson on a power play at 10:33 of the second. Seemingly the next moment, they’re packing up their skates and equipment for the final time this season.
One moment they’re riding a tidal wave of euphoria following last Saturday’s 4-3 overtime victory that forced a deciding fifth game. The next they’re trying to fathom how what they expected to be another deep playoff run came to such an abrupt halt. Such is life in hockey’s playoffs, where even in the early rounds good teams get bounced by equally good teams.
The Syracuse Crunch opened a 2-0 lead in the first 10 minutes of Friday’s Game 5 North Division semifinal showdown and were never really threatened, limiting the Amerks to just 18 shots in a series-clinching 5-2 victory in front of 10,758 fans at sold out Blue Cross Arena at the War Memorial.
