Late-game mistakes cost the Greyhounds points on Saturday as the team hosted the Hamilton Bulldogs
After taking the lead thanks to a shorthanded goal in the third period, the Soo Greyhounds surrendered a late goal in regulation and proceeded to drop a 5-4 shootout decision to the Hamilton Bulldogs on Saturday night at the GFL Memorial Gardens.
Hamilton coach Jay McKee told reporters following the game how proud he was of his team bouncing back after falling behind in the third. Hamilton opened the scoring as Brown scored on a loose puck in close, beating Greyhounds goaltender Samuel Ivanov stick side after a wraparound attempt by Marek Vanacker was unsuccessful at 14:36 of the opening period.
With the teams playing 4-on-4, Bryce McConnell-Barker pulled the Greyhounds to within one as he beat Drobac from the slot high stick side at 18:04. “He has the ability to score goals,” McKee said of Brown. “We see it in practice all the time. He’s still a young player at 17, but he’s kind of heating up here lately. He’s a guy that, in a scenario like that, we’d like to see him with the puck. He’s got good hands around the net.”
