On Episode 1 of Crunch Chronicles Lukas Favale is joined by Pat Maroon. Maroon played two seasons for the Syracuse Crunch in 2010-11 and 2011-12 during the Crunch's affiliation with the Anaheim Ducks. He is tied for 24th in franchise history with 122 points (53g, 69a) in 132 games in Syracuse and he helped push the Crunch into the playoffs in 2012. His 74 points that season are the seventh-most in a single season in franchise history and only one player--Carter Verhaeghe in 2018-19--has produced more in a season for the Crunch since then.
Since leaving Syracuse, Maroon has gone on to win three consecutive Stanley Cups. He won with his hometown St. Louis Blues in 2019 and has captured back-to-back Stanley Cups with the Crunch's NHL affiliate Tampa Bay Lightning in 2020 and 2021. He is the first player since the 1980's New York Islander dynasty to win three straight Stanley Cups and only the fourth in NHL history to do so with two different teams.
On the show, Maroon discusses winning three straight Cups, his time in Syracuse and how his career turned around when he joined the Crunch.
