'(Saginaw's) movement in the offensive zone gave us a lot of headaches' - Soo Greyhounds coach John Dean
Citing Saginaw’s offensive zone movement, Greyhounds coach John Dean said if gave his team “headaches” as the Spirit skated to a 5-0 win Saturday at Saginaw’s Dow Event Center in a battle of division rivals.
“At times we showed well, but at times we were flat, especially in the defensive zone,” added veteran forward Justin Cloutier, adding that he felt the Greyhounds were puck-watching at times defensively. “Our zone was very difficult tonight,” Dean said. “We were swimming in our zone and when you’re swimming in your zone, you’re not going to exit clean and you’re not going to enter clean and you’re not going to generate a lot of offence. Offence starts from being clean in your own end. That’s a good indicator of the night to come.”
The Spirit carried the lead into the second period when Epperson stepped around Caeden Carlisle near the Sault blueline and skated into the right faceoff circle before beating Schenkel 5-hole at 5:08 of the middle stanza to give the Spirit a 2-0 lead.
