A lack of energy from the home team and an excitement from the visitors played a role in a tough start for the Soo Greyhounds on Sunday afternoon
The Sting were opportunistic early and used the quick start to grab a 6-3 Ontario Hockey League victory over the Greyhounds at the GFL Memorial Gardens.
“I really liked the rest of our first period and the first 10 minutes of the second,” Dean added. “We start to find some success and then we go back and get up to our old tricks. We got a little lackadaisical at their blue. When that fourth goal went in, we had a real letdown for about six or seven minutes and proceeded to be inconsistent over the third period.”“In the first period, we played well,” said Alan Letang, head coach of the Sting.
“I have to be better,” Dean said. “I can’t take the bench minor there, which is disappointing, especially after recent events. It’s tough for me to hold these guys to a standard when I’m not holding myself to a standard.” When asked what the referees discussion was leading up to Dean’s displeasure, the Greyhounds coach replied “I’m not sure, I’ve got no comment.”
