Sarnia Sting 2018-19 Season Thread

Which ones were highly regarded? Hogue? Maybe , kAmmerer what was he a

Yeah, I forgot him. He may be as good as Schlichting by this time next year. Remember Connor was in the doghouse for a couple years (mainly due to injury) before becoming an absolute stud in his OA year

hea already big, dominant defensively, and a good skater, if he can be more confident making an offensive play here and there he will be a great dman

However good or bad the defense, in order to be successful, your goalie has to make big save at a big time. Goalie absolutely HAS TO stop the first shot of the game. Goalie HAS TO stop the next shot after his team scores.
The problem this team has is that the defense hasn’t been able to trust goalies to make the first save. Once they can trust the goalie to make that stop, they can concentrate on being there to clear any rebounds. They are beginning to trust Langevin and have started to let him make that stop and clear out the area around the net. They haven’t been able to do so with either of the others, so they get caught in no mans land, half trying to stop the shot and half trying to clear rebounds. Half-trying anything leads to almost certain failure. I believe they will all get better once they’re more used to playing together.

not sure i understand your logic. They do play differently from goalie to goalie. they should be there to clear rebounds regardless. The problem is, you cannot blame the goalie for that loss to Kingston. Coffin is not our future but defence are like pylons. Forward don't pick up their wingers. This is not rocket science and if they haven't learned that by now, they need to move on.

How was this a good trade, he never played a meaningful game for the sting. A great player but never helped the sting with his injuries after we got him.

you cannot count injuries as an out for contributions. And how as CS in the doghouse because of injuries?

Byfield and a 4th

Haha that would be amazing lolol

 

[robp1219]

Byfield and a 4th

Anthony tabak, 2- 2nds, 2 - 3rds
0r Ross OR Thompson a 2nd, 2 -3rds

Something like that I think, I could be way off tho

Can't see it being that much. I'd assume it's just picks

He will bring in more than salintri did

Lol sting made an in game trade .. Terry Doyle announced it on tv ... waiting to hear it........ Goalie Cameron Lamour from Saginaw for a 4th I think it was

 

[robp1219]

Lamour- Younger goalie with ohl experience, sting won’t need to use an OA spot on him next year which is good Langevin starter and Lamour the back up. I think that will be just fine for the next season maybe 2. Rees, Perrault And Langevin continue to impress me, skill and they work hard an never give up on pucks.

a 4th (and maybe 5th) for a goalie with a .842 save %.......? 10 games too so not really small sample size

And was .867 last year in 17 games. That seems like a very steep price for a backup goalie who has been far below league after for over 30 OHL games now

 

[Generalsupdates]

I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't. I could see it either being like the Salinitri trade and be just picks. Or the Murray trade and it's a young player who wasn't working out on his current team (i.e. Stepien)

I didn’t see the conditional pick until now, the sarnia scouts must see something in this kid to give that up, and also get rid of Hughes and most likely release coffin. To do all that for this guy I’m sure the scouts have seen something they like or upside in his play.

I've seen both Hughes and Lamour a few times. Not much of a difference in actual results. Last year Hughes did have at least one solid outing in Flint (maybe 2?). Seems like an odd acquisition for you guys.

 

[Duke16]

The production is finally encouraging, but does Ryan McGregor's game warrant an entry-level contract from the Leafs. It's nice to see his production at a PPG level and I know he is defensively-conscious and a leader, but does he have it?

 

[Lycanthrope]

Good game for the Sting. Leufvenius really impressed as well as a few others (your captain for one). A little better goaltending and this game would have been won in regulation.
Good job, players missing not withstanding, the Knights looked awfully ordinary and unimpressive (especially defensively).

 

[Ferda11]

Time will tell with the acquisition of Lamour...at first glance his numbers are not very impressive at all. 4th round pick seems pretty steep at the moment.

Fun game last night. Thought the Sting could and should have won that in regulation but 2 pts is 2 pts. Langevin rebounded nicely after the 3 quick London goals. He had no chance on the first goal. Rees was fantastic....you can start to see him get his legs back after that 2 month long injury. I expect him to be a regular on the score sheet each game. Sting PP was god awful...need that to get going. Always fun beating the Knights tho!

 

[robp1219]

The condition on the fifth is if he plays his overage year. I highly doubt sarnia uses an OA on a back up goalie assuming langevin keeps improving which is looking like he is. I’d assume sarnia drafts a goalie in the first few round this year, let’s him develop at tier 2 junior A and then has the goalie back up langevin the year after when Lamour leaves.

 

[Ferda11]

Didn't see it but if this is the case then I hope there was a camera on it somewhere.
