I think the narrator from Mortal Kombat would be a good insertion to this GDT (FINISH HIM!!), but I'll pass. It's Game 4, and the IceCaps are on home ice with a chance to finish off the Crunch. The 'Caps dominated the Crunch from start to finish in Game 3, and will look for another dominant effort by the entire team to knock out Syracuse and face either Manchester, W-B/Scranton, or Hershey.

GAME 3 RECAP
From the start, it looked like the IceCaps were poised to take their first-ever home playoff game and push the Crunch to the brink. In the first, on the power play, Jason King crossed it to Patrice Cormier who knocked it past Iiro Tarkki, giving the Caps the lead. The Crunch's lone goal would come 1:47 later courtesy a free pizza by Jason DeSantis, given right to Dan Sexton. After that, Meech put the Caps up for good, Brock Trotter added a power play goal on a Spencer Machacek rebound (Trotter's first as an IceCap), Johnny Albert added one, and Ben Maxwell put the cherry on top with 3:25 to go.
For the MS55 fans, Scheifele, donning #42, was a -1 with no points, but got little ice time. He played on a line with Marco Rosa and Carl Klingberg.
