The popular phrase / hashtag for Lightning and Crunch fans can now be found in three different color schemes for three different shirts.
How's it going on the other side of the pond, for Lightning players and in the tournament as a whole?
The Crunch took advantage of poor goaltending last night in Springfield, winning 5-2. How Springfield responds t o that opening night laugher remains to be seen - just don't expect a repeat of lat night.
The second round of the AHL playoffs gets underway for the Crunch tonight in Springfield Massachusetts agains t the #2 seed in the conference, the Falcons.
Update on the World Championship tourney after one week of play.
