Guelph Storm 2018-19 Season Thread (Part 3)

[lazyboy]

worst part is there is no push back. Lazy plays, quitting on plays, defeated attitude. Missing is a Tyler Bertuzzi type amid all this talent. Kinda sad that so much talent is all for naught

Need a goalie? We have a starter riding the pine.

If you think any of this is on the goalie, you're absolutely delusional.

 

[NamesAreHardToChoose]

Hopefully the Storm get back the Sleeman Centre safe and sound. Haven't seen them since Kitchener.

Not all but let's face it.... The book on Pop is high blocker side and where have half the goals been?

 

[stormtracker]

Sounds like London's coaching staff is doing their job. Don't need your starter on the bench. Might need some of those behind your bench.

 

[lazyboy]

this is not on Poppy alone, its on everyone in a storm uniform and the coaches behind the bench. Popovich has played ok, made some saves but instills no confidence in me. Brutal rebound control

edit:'storm' not 'sting'

Theres your problem.... we all know Sarnia's playoff woes

LOL that was the problem. The Sting showed up instead of the Storm!

In my defense I'm a Spitfire fan, who is a Sting season ticket holder so sometimes i get my misery mixed up

Goal 1,2,3,4 were Popovich was rebound city today

 

[LDN]

I expect a different team to show up tomorrow. I think your Storm boys have a lot of pride and skill as well so they will be playing hard for you fans...should be some good games in Guelph

Wonder if George Burnett was too preoccupied with the draft yesterday to turn his mind to the game 2 of the playoffs? Just saying

hunter musta bin too..just sayin..not too impressed by his overall draft either..maybe a certain ex coach owner should step up and grab the reigns..

Poppy. Players. Coach. Etc.

At some point, blame has to be put on the Knights for the Storm's woes.

No, the Sting play the Knights tougher.

 

[RoyalCitySlicker]

Through the first two games of this series, I cant help but be reminded of the Holland/Beck/Latta teams of the past.

No push back. No fight. Just playing for themselves.

Add on some poor play, spotty goaltending and absentee coaching and it's easy to see why its 2-0.

Credit to the Knights too....they are playing exactly how they need to against this team. They look good.

Still, not over yet. A loss tomorrow all but seals it tho.

The Sting never make the second round.. we will never find out

ya;; huh huh;...now I know what Kitch felt like in first round ...

 

[Living Vicariously]

I thought I was on the Storm board - my bad, I’ll just let myself out.....*closes door*

 

[stormtracker]

Guess it could be worse. We could be the Soo Greyhounds currently losing 10 to 1 to Saginaw and the game is not over

On the positive side we out-shot Saginaw 43-42 AND we held them to only ONE power play goal on NINE opportunities.... LOL... Sunday was not a good day for any of the visiting teams!
