Soo Greyhounds out of the playoffs
It was a heartbreaking loss in Game 7 of the OHL playoffs for the Soo Greyhounds on Tuesday night in Saginaw.
Things were tied heading into the third period at one goal apiece, then the Saginaw Spirit came back with the game-winning goal and an empty-netter in the last minute of the game.
That, unfortunately, means an end to the Hounds season.
The Spirit moves on to play the London Knights in the Western Conference final. The Knights are undefeated after two rounds in the playoffs.
Meanwhile, there is still one northern Ontario team standing in the postseason.
The North Bay Battalion are facing off against the Oshawa Generals in the Eastern Conference championship after going 4-0 in the second round against the Sudbury Wolves.
The Battalion plays its first game in Oshawa on Friday night.
