It took a last-minute goal, but the Soo Greyhounds avenged a lopsided loss in Kitchener prior to the Christmas break with a win at home
With the previous meeting firmly entrenched in their minds, the Soo Greyhounds felt like they had something to prove on Wednesday night.
“Not that I needed to remind the guys, but they really wanted to show to themselves and the fans that we do care about when we do lay an egg, we rectify it,” Dean said. “Today is a perfect example of our guys showing how resilient they can be and that we can play with any team.” “Give them credit, they came out and played hard,” Dennis said. “I definitely think we had better. I didn’t like our first two periods, but give them credit, they played like a team that had some pride on the line and wanted to win a game.”“We looked really connected as a group, which ultimately means we’re structured,” Dean said. “Our sense of urgency and our sense of engagement was very high.”
