Well. Yes we outshot them but I felt the team was overall uninspired for the most part. Second chances/rebounds were few. Line combos with the reduced roster did not really gel. The little things like full team support exiting the zone took a step back. The Spits also seemed to lack physicality overall. The Soo played a great road game and took the 2 points. A good kick in the ass that you need to start at puck drop and bring it every game. No team is going to mail us 2 points.

Really entertaining game between two division rivals tonight.Costanzo really took a big step over the summer. I look forward to a lot more of it this season!
I don't have a huge problem with this defeat. The SOO only managed a total of eight shots in the last 40 minutes of play. Spits had 3 breakaways, couldn't score on any of them, hit 3 posts. Miller was great in net for the SOO. These games happen. Now if they were outplayed for 60 minutes and were completely dominated then I would have a problem.
You can't win every game. Basically the Mathurin giveaway in the first shift of the game cost them , but Mathurin has been outstanding, mistakes happen. All good.

This is one of those games were it looks bad but there's plenty of good, too.
The start was ugly and everyone knows it. You can't give them a 2-0 lead and expect to not be in a fight. I don't know what needs to change but the starts have to be quicker.
Windsor outshot the Hounds 15-1 in the second but hit posts and a strong Miller. You can't play a much better period. The third was much of the same; they held the Hounds off the shot clock but kept hitting posts and just missing plays.
If Windsor plays like this every night, they'll win the vast majority of the time, even with the slow start. Sometimes you have to give props to the opposition.
That said, the starts have to get better, especially now that they're at the top of the league. Teams will target you and want that quick jump. You can't allow it.
