Lack of killer instinct could hurt Attack

Putting a team away is a skill most teams need to learn at some point in their development.

Such is the case for the Owen Sound Attack. Up 4-1 over Oshawa at the midway point, the Attack sat back and allowed Oshawa to slowly gain momentum.

An Oshawa goal on a shot that should never have gotten past Jordan Binnington now makes it 4-2.

And the Gens have all the momentum going into the third.

The lesson to learn is that when you’re up on a team and they look in disarray, that’s when you go for the kill.

And don’t play with them. Bury them.

Exciting finishes look good on TV, not in real life.
