When the Soo Greyhounds return to action on Thursday night, their response is going to speak volumes.

Riding a five-game winning streak, the Greyhounds dropped a 5-2 decision to the Erie Otters on Sunday afternoon at the GFL Memorial Gardens.

It was a game that coach John Dean called disappointing because of missed opportunities throughout the contest.

“In the first five minutes, we had some opportunities to put them on their heels and we didn’t capitalize on those opportunities,” Dean said. “(Erie) played a really strong first period and took it to us pretty good, no doubt about it.”

“In the second period, it was a bit back-and-forth,” Dean added. “We gave them a lot of opportunities to score but we had seven or eight really good looks at the net where we didn’t have that killer instinct. For us and our style of play, if we’re going to have some high-risk chances against, we better make sure we capitalize on the chances we get. Tonight, we didn’t bear down on out opportunities.”
