Sarnia Sting 2018-19 Season Thread (Part 2)

[BoxerMax]

If the roster doesn't change before the 10th, I agree that there is a good chance of finishing 5th. No way could we catch Saginaw and I think Guelph is too far ahead to catch them. A month from now may be a big home and home to see who gets 4th however.

Nice game last night, your forward group is impressive and Sarnia's 1-3-1 passive defense gave SSM defenders all kinds of trouble on our breakout until we were finally able to adjust. I think with some tweaks to your defense you guys could have a chance to go a few rounds in the playoffs.

Who knew this team has the potential for Sarnia's longest playoff run ever.

The best they will do is second round. I don't see them beating London, Soo, or Saginaw in a 7 game series with the current rosters.

lol game 7 in the second round would be the longest playoff run ever.

Look like Saginaw going after Tippett

Wrong. We already went 7 games vs Rangers & lost in round 2 in the 96/97 season

 

[Texcanuck]

Saginaw picks up Tippett too. SELL SELL SELL.
Time to say adios to Eliot if Ottawa will take him!

hard to remember stuff 21 years ago

Guelph upgrading too... we just don’t have enough back-end strength to complete, IMO.
Would do very well to sneak thru the first round, but that’s the most we could do.
Spend this year honing the skills of Langevin, Reesor, Hogue, Kammerer, for a push in 2 years. Any 1998 or 1999 should be expendable

 

[Texcanuck]

Anybody ever heard of “control the puck in overtime?”

No Kammerer or jako for today’s game...sting going with 5 dman, I wonder if this means anything... they were both dressed yesterday and I don’t think there was a suspension or injury.

Not guys I would have considered trade bait... not sure what’s up there?

Me niether, I hope they aren’t trying to upgrade for an older defenceman with those two. I do find it odd how they are both out and are using only 5 defence tonight.

 

[Texcanuck]

Making room for Dillingham-Morelli or Samuelsson, now that WJC is over...!!!
Just kidding

 

[Texcanuck]

Does anybody really think this team has any potential this year? Can’t beat Hamilton; can’t beat Erie... ridiculous!

Any chance of that Sarnia will be trading Nick Grima? He would be a good fit in Peterborough. They need, in my opinion, one more veteran defenceman that will be an overage player next year.

Definitely a player we’d move for some picks, so it’s definitely possible

Been holding my breath, but I’m starting to turn blue

Kiss Hughes goodbye.Vancouver wanted him to sign & play in the nhl this year.Staying at Michigan at least til the end of this school year.

Good one. HNIC was talking about Hughes during the 2nd intermission.That's the only reason why i mentioned him.

Very disappointing couple of games there. This bar for this team is second round. I still think they can win a round. I think it would be amazing for our young guys if we won a round, get that experience. Id die if we got one of those guys mentioned above too.
