Sounds like there is nothing about this team,players or management u like.if so,just move on.Why would anybody want to follow on a forum, cheer for and watch the kids progress on "one of the worst OHL franchises has ever seen".If the team and forum gets tiresome,time to move on.
I want this team to win you clown. Thats why I attend games and cheer for them since they played at the Sarnia arena. They're also my home town team. I am hard on them because they deserve it, Like what has this franchise ever done to deserve credit? If they deserve credit I give it .... Tonights game is a prime example. Embarrassing. Hatcher needs to go as a coach. He's all but mailed it in. Hatcher may be the worst coach in the history of the Sarnia Sting.

lol and yah, gradually over the years the sting have become less interesting to me because of the constant losing and playoff failures. I am almost done supporting this team to be honest. It's not just me, the barn was empty tonight and it should be a wake up call for Hatcher and the crew. I don't even wanna imagine the amount of money they are losing. As for 2021, thats a wild fantasy right now.

worst coach? he'd be tied with Shawn Camp and Joe Canale , maybe throw in Beaulieu for good measure

Word on the street is the team will be relocating to Chatham right next to the new casino and will be called the Honeycombs. No half empty arena in Chatham.

In a rebuilding year Sarnia was 12th in attendance averaging 3200 per game. Yeah it was empty tonight but have ya had a look around the rest of the O? Terrible crowds everywhere.

yes, this proves Sarnia is starving for a winning team. Sarnia isn't relocating any time soon but, they need to start winning soon or they might in the future. Is hatcher gonna wanna own the team and keep losing money when he kid isn't on the team? We'll see.

Honestly it looked like the fans have given up on the team and the team responded in kind. Embarrassing turn out last night. Hatcher once again proves that he couldn't coach a win with Tampa Bay over a beer league team let alone in the OHL. PP at 0 for 14 and -4 but what the heck, lets keep rolling the same line and 4 forwards I'm sure it'll work the next time. Felt bad for Langevin and Lamour as Saginaw just picks apart our box defense with their passing ability although thought he should of had the wrap, not that it would have made any difference at that point only scoring 1 goal for the second game in a row. We were not challenging Prosvetov at all fanning on one timers and nailing him square in the chest half the time. Same as Stingupdates, first game I have walked out of early in almost 7 years after that houseleage level bench minor to swamp us with a 5 on 3.

Not any streets in Chatham.Chatham and surrounding area cant support a team.Whoever is dreaming this stuff and whatever they r on,I would sure like to try some.

Agree,put the 4th line out there on PP.Cant do any worst.3 shorthanded goals shame on coaching staff to allow this to happen.Spirit does take advantage of every mistake.So predictable on PP.Every team can figuire it out.

Bahaha that's hilarious. Any city that can support a casino can without a doubt support a hockey team. It's called disposable income.

That was embarrassing. Team totally quit in that 3rd period. Do we even practice the PP!?!? Unacceptable. Hatcher calling a TO & taking a bench minor pissed me off so much. Little to no adjustments made from G2 to G3.
too bad it doesn't tick off the owners

the fourth line is there to give everyone a breather. Why does Hatcher continue to run four lines all game? Sarnia will support a winner... but it don't see it in their eyes. Starts from the GM on down. Players don't believe in the coaches. TBH, what has Sinclair done? A few dazzling trades that severely fizzled. Fans can't get it right either. Kocheny who was here for 2.5 months was voted to the all time sting team? and Chapman a top d man? spot the problem... this is like playing wack a mole

People are way overreacting.. I'm pissed about that 3rd period last night but this is the OHL cycle.. Last yr was are time to win & if it wasn't for certain guys no showing i honestly think we could have. Now its 2 years of rebuilding/retooling and then you go for it again. I love Sinclair, I've liked his trades & 2 of the last 3 drafts have been great. I am becoming skeptical of Hatcher/Legwand as coaches but I'm willing to give them 1 more yr since this team lost a ton.

where have I heard that before... rebuild? sounds familiar pattern
you can be as skeptical as you like, until they become bored or frustrated with the outcome, nothing is going to change
none of our picks have progressed as one would be led to believe

Its the OHL every team rebuilds except London. Guelph is elite right now a year from now they'll be god awful and barely make it. Kitchener who was just like us last yr is also being smacked in RD1. Windsor has been rebuilding since hosting the mem cup. It's how the OHL goes.

Rees would have gotten 50+ Points had he stayed healthy that's a huge jump, Reesor has developed into a very nice 2nd pairing steady Dman.. Langevin had a solid rookie season and gained valuable experience. Kammerer started slow but has played alot better since JAN. Guy went from 9 goals to 19 and would have gotten near 25 had he not got hurt. Perreault is a star & Burke, Hill, Saye, DeGurse & Morelli are all gaining great experience.

First picks don't count. #4 and 7 pairing is horrible. I will give you Guy and Langevin. Morelli has potential, if he got icetime. Hill was making progress then they put in Degurse. He is a Franco re-incarnate... lots of hustle, not sure on the talent. Perrault is not a star, maybe he will be, but he is not.

One of the few bright spots for the Sting this year. 2nd amoung rookies with 30 goals for a guy drafted 19th.Also of note the players leading him in rookie points are on top teams & have the player depth unlike Sarnia.
