Sarnia Sting 2018 Offseason Thread

[NewB]

Slide? Have won 6 of last 7..

Yes slide as in their play. Just doing enough in those wins. 2 points is 2 points but this team isn't winning convincingly.
1)Windsor game could have gone either way and no Dipietro in net
2)OT win vs Guelph
3)London game could have gone either way and no Jones in lineup
4)Missy game had rookie Guy save their bacon
5)should have lost in Erie. Sarnia were Outplayed
6)NB loss. Absolute no show by top players.

Let's see how they rebound tonight in a tough place to win this year.

You guys need an OA Dman, how about you take Crawford back on the bus with you, and leave Josling and Grima, and we will give you a few picks!!!

Fazio, Schlicting and Ernst are OA. Not going anywhere. How about Hatcher for a few pucks?

Another piss poor effort against a bottom feeder team. That top line needs to be ripped apart and sat. Kyrou is back to playing his own selfish ways. No defensive play to his game..all those early on points have gotten to his head.

Too many stupid passes in the middle of the ice that lead to numerous turnovers. Don’t think they know that when you dump and chase you actually have to chase.

Hughes stood is own but had no help tonight. SSM wins and moves ahead 3 pts. Doubt we see the current roster we have now in 1st Place again this season..I’d bet on it.

Nothing wrong with the Sting passes tonight.They hit North Bay's stick everytime.No need to panic yet.That was Calvas worst game of the year.Glad to see Hughes play solid.Sting left him out to dry too many times tonight.Give credit to NB.Other than first goal,their goalie played outstanding.They didnt let Sarnia get out of our own end,We are way to predictable in getting out of our end.NB was hungry,Sting was not.WAy too many soft or sloppy passes.HUgo skated out in front of net only to pass it off.With his shot he needs to blister it.Kyrou,best discription.pilon and puck hog

 

[OSA]

I don’t think the Sting should be big time buyers at the trade deadline. Just an inexpensive upgrade to the D core is all I would do. Any talk of trading Rees is madness.

 

[cupcrazyman]

Sting start off strong & are letting Saginaw back in this one.

 

[Stingland]

Seven straight unanswered goals. Inexcusable. The only reason to go to the game tomorrow will be to see the Teddy Bears.

 

[massey]

Pathetic

 

[Ferda11]

I’m at a lost of words. Just absolutely embarrassing in every possible way. Only reason I’m going tomorrow is the teddy bear toss other wise the ticket goes into the trash with this teams defense and leadership

 

[cupcrazyman]

i said to my gf when they were up 6-1 that they would lose this game.

have to give the Spirit credit for a great come back.

 

[Texcanuck]

Sitting here saying "don't think I'll sign up for playoff tickets this year again". Same ol sting

 

[OSA]

In one perfect example, this explains why the attendance has not been what non-Sting followers expected.

 

[Stingland]

Sinclair has his work cut out for him.

 

[honey bee]

25 floating around out there in OT. Unbelievable.

 

[BrunoDaBear]

Woah, what happened against Saginaw last night? Did they stop skating midway through the game? Are there any players you'd like your GM to target via trade?

 

[Schlerk]

Well that was gross. If it is 6-0 you tell those guys to make it 10-0. And then after that 12-0. Anybody slacks off, quits skating or floats around picking their nose because they think the game is 'won' sits or is sent to the showers. What is this, pee-wee? Better be a $#%*$ wake up call.

The "C" on number 25 needs to be removed , his only interest is in his numbers. He is no motivation for the team , wonder if scouts in the crowd are seeing this .

Lots of players to target.get rid of kyrou.load the deal with conditional as the way he is playing now.he will be back next year.trade our O/a and give them a chance to win it all.get a awesome goalie back in return to Carty us next year as Hughes just won't do it.play our rookies to get them ready for next year.we have way too many holes in our D to go for it this year.bet that wasn't the response u were looking for

 

[Keram]

Whats up with Ruzicka guys. He is 1+0 in his last six games

Floating most of the time. League is on to him trying to make solo plays. Needs to start passing to line mates & going to the net. Having said that, his effort is pretty good today and he has a nice assist to show for it.
Pretty big matador “ole’” on saggy’s GWG last night

As mentioned a few days ago above...Slide
Absolute choke job in Saginaw. Once in a lifetime comeback but this one is on the leadership in the room and coaching staff. Can't expect Fazio to save your ass every night. This team is smoke and mirrors with soft play, lazyness and selfish play. Just look at 25 & 21 figure skate around the O zone looking for a loose puck and a cheap point because it's all about the stats for those 2. Saw this coming a while ago. Full merit on the win today vs an anemic offence in Oshawa who was shut out in Windsor last night. Sarnia outshot giving up 40+ AGAIN. Just doing enough to win AGAIN.
I would expect an ass kicking in SSM and it might be necessary to wake up this team that doesn't compete night in and night out like a true front runner does

 

[massey]

Good thing Sting had last night off so they concentrate on todays game.Depended on Fazio way too much again today. Unbelievable how well the boys played until the teddy bear toss and then they gave up all but ERnst.Kyrou showed real leadership today.YIKES

 

[cupcrazyman]

Sting will fall in the rankings after this weekends average effort.

 

[GensLensBrandon]

I talk about the game between Oshawa and Sarnia, and Sarnia's effort in the game here;

Generals slowed by hot Goaltending

 

[INTENTIONALLYOFFSIDE]

Officiating in this league is brutal how is 1st goal allowed, egert elbows goalie in the head knocking him down with the ref right beside him. Ref has puck eyes doesn't even notice which is understandable but in Branch's new safety first league that is a reviewable /suspendable deliberate head contact penalty.
