On Episode 11 of Crunch Chronicles Lukas Favale is joined by Tyson Nash. Nash played three seasons for the Syracuse Crunch to begin his pro career from 1995 to 1998.
A 10th round pick by the Vancouver Canucks in the 1994 NHL Draft, Nash dressed in 50 games as a rookie for the Crunch in 1995-96, when he produced 11 points. He also saw action in the playoffs as the Crunch advanced to the Southern Conference Finals. Nash played in over 70 games in each of his final two seasons with the Crunch, culminating in a 20-goal, 40-point campaign in 1997-98. He finished his Crunch career with 201 games played and 85 points (41g, 44a) to go with 347 PIMs.
Nash joined the St. Louis Blues organization following the 1997-98 season and eventually made his NHL debut with the Blues in 1998-99. He went on to play 374 NHL games with St. Louis and the Phoenix Coyotes. After retiring from playing, Nash jumped into the broadcast booth to serve as an analyst on Coyotes broadcasts, a role he still holds today.
On the show, Nash discusses his experience with the Crunch, reaching the 20-goal plateau in Syracuse and more.
