Hi all,
Things I am a fan of -
1) Sault Greyhounds
2) Hockey in general
Thankfully, the second will typically allow for grace during heartbreak.
That said, credit to relentless pressure and a great game plan. To echo someone’s point from earlier, it’s a shame one of these teams will be done after this series.
Can’t wait for Tuesday night and best of luck.
Despite all the emotions from fans of both teams, this has been barn burning ol fashioned playoff hockey.
It should be no surprise to anyone who follows the league with any regularity, that the refereeing is in consistant.
It has been for years.
Both these teams have shown they are capable of elevating their games.
When Todd Gill arrived, his calm demeanor behind the bench was something fairly new to us Attack fans in recent years.
Conversely, Drew Bannister hardly said boo when he coached here, yet upon his return as Soo head coach, he's become a fire breathing dragon at times.
Don't think those coaching styles aren't lost on the players. They follow their mentors' examples.
Despite polar opposite styles, and largely different paths, these two teams have arrived at exactly the same place 8 months later.
We will see which style prevails Tuesday.
