'For us to mismanage pucks against a transition team, we were asking for that score tonight' - Soo Greyhounds coach John Dean
Facing a team that’s made the transition game an important part of what’s been a successful start to the season, the Soo Greyhounds seemingly shot themselves in the foot quite regularly.
“It looks like we were in individual mode and when you’re in individual mode, it’s very tough to read,” Dean added. “The other four guys have difficulty reading what you’re going to do.” “I don’t love showing guys lack of execution, especially the day before a game, but it might be so blatant from today about the lack of execution and the unwillingness to put pucks to the net looking for something better ,” Dean said. “Those two things are well within our control, being focused with the puck and not trying to do too much yourself. “
The IceDogs made it a 2-0 game before the period was done after a defensive zone turnover by the Greyhounds. A shot by Blair Scott after the turnover after it was deflected by Kevin He past Miller at 9:41. Niagara proceeded to make it a 5-1 game on the next shift as Alex Assadourian beat Schenkel on a broken play in the slot at 15:14.
