I remember the days when it was 4500 every night. Hope it gets back there.

Langevin was robbed of his shutout by the refs. The puck was clearly grabbed and dragged in by the Windsor player.

From the overhead view, it does look like Foody puts the puck into the net by his hand, but if you watch from the side view, you can clearly see that Douglas shoots the puck in under Foody's glove.

Could some one post that view, as far as I know the only camera positions in Sarnia are across from the benches and the north west end of of the arena.

Even the game highlight on the ohl website pretty clearly shows how the puck went in. It was shot in.

So do we just start Langevin every game since no one else can stop a beach ball?

 

[Texcanuck]

I suggest he should start the next two. After that, hard to say. On 3-game weekends he should get at least 2; on 2-game weekends, he ought to have the opportunity to start both. He’s a young guy, and frankly games are less of a workout (physically) than practices. Just have to keep an eye on his mental sharpness if things get wobbly.

 

[InSuL1nImP]

IMO the organization should sit down with Langevin and tell him he's the starter long term. If they don't it will be problematic in the future and be detrimental to his development both as a player and more important mentally.

I’d have to guess he’s figured that out at this point

Except the team has been flip flopping with 3 goalies all year.

Yeah, but Hughes and Coffin define their place in the pecking order every time they hit the ice

Would it be fair to say that I won't need to buy tickets in advance for Wed's game against London? I can just walk up to the box office an hour before the game and purchase tickets?

Likely correct. Sting website has a very effective ticket sale program. Go to menu, click tickets, choose The London game, click “choose your seats” and you can see how full things are.
If you opt to buy online, you can pick them up at will-call (40 feet left of the box office) prior to the game.

Everything Tex said. However London games usually sell out.

Very true. But right now, unusual amount of open seats.
Likely because:
- they’re likely gonna crush us
- it’s a Wednesday
- crowds down everywhere

More blah, blah, blah on Observer website re hazing. Lots of shade being thrown on the coach at the time, which I agree with totally. Nobody is more responsible for the team’s behavior, in the locker room and on the road from the time the bus leaves until it gets back to town, than the coach

Trade: Sarnia Sting trade goalie Aidan Hughes to Oshawa for a 9th round pick.

Per what Sting Fire Said: Official Link Goaltender Aidan Hughes Heads to Oshawa in Deal with the Generals – Sarnia Sting

 

[Texcanuck]

Will we give Coffin a couple more tries or just grab Ceci from Oshawa as Langevin’s backup? Actually surprised that wasn’t part of the deal for Hughes...

Sinclair did very well getting a 9th round pick in return. Not too well in taking Hughes with a 2nd round pick originally.

Or was it just poor development?

And that might happen as Keyser leaves for the WJs, Gens have 4 Oa's and one is Ceci and was already told that he would be the odd man out,gens need an ohl ready goalie to backup Keyser when returns as the gens have a 16 old that not ready. So I see Hughes will get his share of net time till the return of Keyser.

 

[Texcanuck]

Or was it just poor development?

I think it was his lack of desire to dedicate himself to the game. A rather sad story - he was basically handed the starting job and couldn’t make it work.
So it’s clearly Langevin whenever he can go and Coffin whenever he’s needed. With any luck Coffin can relax, work hard on his weaknesses and become a backup who can win half his games.
