SSM Greyhounds 2024-25 Season Thread, Part II

[Fastpace]

How can Coach Dean start newly signed Tegelaar against one of the best teams in Canada? Dean always talks about the positives of this team but the wins that count are no where to be found. Game in and game out the same end result - a LOSS.
I think a coaching change should be considered by Mr. Lukenda.

The odds are against you, no matter who he would have put in net. Sometime, with someone new behind helps team's concentration to play better. Dean would have look like a genius had his team been able to pull this off

His time is coming to an end..

There are now parents of STAR players agreeing that Dean must be removed in the Soo Greyhound fan club on Facebook…. It’s coming.

There’s always someone that defends Dean.

Go read his comment about the game. “ just couldn’t handle it “ that’s his god damn slogan.

Not properly coached is what that translates to.

There is absolutely nothing the matter with that comment, he's got a young inexperience team to work with, he's a hockey coach, not a miracle worker

He’s hardly a hockey coach anymore. I’m sorry but there’s nothing Dean can do. I’m at the point I don’t wanna pay for seasons if he’s coaching and I HATE to say that.. it’s a lot of money to fork out to watch a brain dead grown man yell and scream from the bench like a baby while his team doesn’t develop. The guys gotta go. Time for change. We are talking about trying to make playoffs and I’m still trying to figure out what style of hockey Dean is trying to coach? I’m still trying to figure out what systems are implemented? I’m still trying to pick up our set plays. You know? Because we have none.

Dean excels at coaching older teams because the players are mature already but when it comes to developing and maturing YOUNG KIDS to becoming elite, he’s a failure. That’s why he double and triple shifts his old players, that’s why he played Lalonde for TEN GAMES straight while Miller rots on the bench.

Hes brutal. I feel like this is 2003 Soo Greyhound all over again.

Just a real bad decision to give a rookie goalie playing his 1st game in the league in front of 9000 fans and the best team in Jr. hockey! Your goal is to try and win every game regardless of the opponent! Dean starting the rookie showed the team he basically had no faith in his team!
