Greyhounds Collapse: Choking or Coaching?

The Soo Greyhounds blew a 5-1 lead against the Kingston Frontenacs, eventually losing in overtime. This begs the question: is this a sign of a deeper issue within the team, a lack of maturity and leadership in crucial moments, or are there coaching adjustments that could have prevented the collapse? Where do you stand on this? Was this a classic choke job or did the coaching staff miss the mark? What tactical changes could have been made to secure the win?

Interesting to note the timing of Nolan Lalonde’s trade from Kingston and his subsequent rough outing against his former team. Coincidence, or added pressure getting to the young netminder?

With the Greyhounds battling for a playoff spot, how concerning is this loss? Does this raise questions about their ability to perform under pressure in must-win games down the stretch? Is their current position in the standings a true reflection of their potential, or are they capable of more? Weigh in with your predictions for the Greyhounds. Will they make the playoffs, or will they fall short?
