Greyhounds’ Playoff Push: Coaching Conundrum or Clutch Collapse?

The Soo Greyhounds dominated shots against the Barrie Colts, yet fell short in a 3-2 loss. This begs the question, is Coach Dean’s post-game criticism justified, or is he simply scapegoating minor mistakes for deeper underlying issues? Is this tough love motivation or a sign of panic this late in the season?

On the flip side, the Colts’ coach credits their goalie as the sole reason for the win. Does this signal a lack of confidence in his team, or is it a strategic move to light a fire under them for future games? If the Colts are struggling this much against a team fighting for a playoff spot, what does this say about their chances against tougher competition in the playoffs?

The Greyhounds are in a tight race for the final playoff spot. With such a razor-thin margin for error, are these crucial, easily avoidable mistakes signs of immaturity or inexperience? Or are they simply the product of immense pressure? Share your thoughts – is their playoff dream still alive, or is this the beginning of the end?
