The Lakehead Thunderwolves had a chance to sew up their first postseason berth since 2021 on Saturday night, but couldn’t hold onto an early 2-0 lead and fell 5-2 to the Laurier Golden Hawks in front of 2,373 fans at Fort William Gardens.
“I think in this league, anybody can beat anybody. You’ve got to play a full 60 minutes if you want to win games. You can’t play 20 minutes and coast from there and I thought that’s what we did,” Jette said. “They moved their feet faster than we did in the last 40 and that’s what caught us.” With the T-Wolves trailing 3-2 in the third, Massie had what was probably the best chance to even the score, but Propp managed to slide his skate toe just far enough to prevent Massie from stuffing in around the goal post.
Once again it looked like the Thunderwolves might be on their way to another rout, when Greg Smith and Olivier Pouliot connected 3:37 apart in the opening period, a night after a seven-goal outburst in the first put the Guelph Gryphons away early.Grayden Gottschalk cut the Laurier deficit to one at the 14:15 mark of the middle stanza. Less than four minutes later Tyler Davis knotted the score, taking a pass off the draw and wiring it through traffic behind a partially screened Wright.
