The Tucson Roadrunners' 2022-23 season ended Sunday in a flash — one that saw the Coachella Valley Firebirds score four goals in the first eight minutes in a 5-1 series-clinching Game 3 win for the Firebirds in Palm Desert, California.
Brett Fera In what sure seemed like the blink of an eye — really, it was almost that fast — the Tucson Roadrunners’ 2023 AHL season came to an unceremonious end Sunday afternoon in the Southern California desert.
The Firebirds hadn’t scored a 5-on-5 goal since the first period of the first game of the series, yet all four Coachella Valley first-period goals Sunday came at even strength. The only shot to get past Daccord came inside three minutes to go, off the stick of Roadrunners captain Adam Cracknell. Defenseman Steven Kampfer and forward Michael Carcone had the assists.
And the Roadrunners have, in some respects, been playing a form of “playoff hockey” for the better part of three months now. Tucson battled, mostly against the Bakersfield Condors and San Jose Barracuda, and a little bit with the Henderson Silver Knights, for one of the final playoff spots out of the AHL’s Pacific Division.
