Interview with the Captain

Last week, former Crunch Captain Dan Smith graciously allowed me to interview him over the phone for us here at CH. We really appreciate it, Smitty! He had a lot to say on his career, the fans here in Syracuse, the team, and what’s next. So grab a cup of joe/tea/vodka/brandy/etc. and come on in! [...]

Interview with the Johnson 0_0

 It’s always strange when a beloved member of a team up and quits in the middle of a season. As we all know, the Crunch has a history of this happening.
I’m sure.
Don’t we? 

Lured into the den of the enemy…or something. Not really.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I got Michael Sharp on the phone last night. Seeing as he’s the Sens’ equivalent to Lindsay Kramer, it was pretty cool of him to be willing to talk with a gal from Crunchland. Big thanks go to him for sharing some of his insights and ideas about [...]

One of the Good Guys — Talking with Tim McManus

Like many things often do, the story of my interview with Tim McManus started off simply enough.

Afternoon Tea with Chris MacFarland

So, as most of you are probably aware, I am really, really annoying. So annoying, in fact, that I recently got an offer from Chris MacFarland to call him to chat about the Dan Smith situation, probably with Chris feverently hoping I would go away once he acknowledged my existence (this was not confirmed and [...]

Interview with Chris Higgins

Forward Chris Higgins was signed by the Blue Jackets this summer and is one of the young players who hope to make a difference in Syracuse in 2009-2010. Higgins is coming off of a stellar season with Boston University, where he helped his team to the National Championship. He was also one of the more [...]

Catching up with Trevor…

With all the personnel changes, contracts and other Crunchables going on this summer, I figured I’d ask Trevor Frischmon his thoughts and how his summer is going after FINALLY getting a two-way deal…

Two Guys Talking — The REAL 100th Post.

Well, here we are. The 100th post in this site’s history. I’ve got to admit, I didn’t think it would get this far; honestly, I just assumed this thing would have fizzled out after a month or so. Somehow we’ve all made it this far, and it seems like it’s just getting bigger and bigger [...]

An Interview with Kyle Neuber

For those of you that don’t know Kyle Neuber, he was the 7th round pick, #197 overall in the 2009 NHL entry draft by the Columbus Bluejackets. Kyle grew up in Ottawa, was born on March 22, 1989,  stands 6′2″ and weighs in around 220lbs. He is a right winger with a right handed shot who starred [...]

Paying the Cost to Be the Boss — An Interview with Howard Dolgon.

I suppose that, if nothing else, I should probably thank my old friend Johnnie Walker for the unlikely series of events that transpired today.
Last night, I was well into an evening of Black Label and bullshitting with my fellow Deadspin refugees (and the heartiest of FUCK YOUs to those spineless twatshovels over there — it [...]
