Sarnia Sting 2019-20 Season Thread (Part 3)

[Texcanuck]

I would take playoffs any day. You never know what can happen.

Of course, but zero chance of 8th happening and unless they win Sunday, zero chance of 9th

 

[HockeyPops]

It is certainly higher than zero. Math is hard.

Math is one thing, realism another...

Question....WHAT IF the Sting go on a tear like they did earlier in the season and somehow win enough and ER/SSM or OS somehow lose enough and the Sting squeak into the 8th spot? How pissed/happy would you be? Keep in mind this could mean a sting/knights 1st round match up.

If you could chose, would you rather have the 3rd or 4th pick or a 1st round match up with the Knights?

Probably take playoffs. Alot of times the last team you wanna play in the playoffs is the hottest team. Not like London is a powerhouse either. If Gaudreau could play his best in the series i bet we could take a few.

But we all know this won't happen haha. On top of are inconsistent play are schedule is just tough. Hard to imagine we beat Flint, Kitchener, Saginaw right now.

For a rare time this year i actually have a good feeling about this game. Rees&Perreault are due for a big game & McGregor is coming off his 1st Hatty.

Imagine Gaudreau starts & Reesor draws back in. It's a near must win for the Soo tho so if we dont match their effort it could be a long day.

And it’s a road game....

Guessed wrong. Langevin starting. They played well in their only game together but I'm not sure in a Reesor-Mast pair. 2 massive guys but not elite skaters & not great puck movers. Id run~

Nolet-Reesor
Mast-Kammerer
Hjorth-Stratis

Best 1st period of the year?? Wow! We actually looked good! Solid D-Zone coverage, great passing, breakouts & the PP looked amazing!

See if they can keep it up in the 2nd&3rd.

They’re on the road...

All around good effort! Only 27 shots allowed. PP was great, PK was good & Langevin was steady. If only that's how we played every night!

Rees was dancin today. Guy finally scoring. Up to 16 Goals now.. I thought Mast-Reesor were dynamite today. Totally shut it down defensively. Stratis was also a rock back there i thought.

See if we can keep this level of effort up from here on out.

Road Warriors

Put ‘em on the damn bus Wednesday, no starting lineup intros, nothing...

 

[Tone]

11 More wins and we have a chance at 8th spot.

 

[StingUpdates]

This game in a way annoyed the hell out of me. All year in my mind we (on paper) were better than SSM/ER/OS & even GUE. So us playing such a great road game in what was a must-win for them almost annoys me lol.

We kept them to the perimeter, didn't allow a ton, generated chances, PP was great & are top guys outplayed their top guys. How we should've been playing all year..

woulda coulda shoulda... story of the sting... always next year...as the March saying goes

 

[StingUpdates]

One of the players to keep an eye out for come draft day. Dalyn Wakely. All around Centre with a big shot. Lead the OMHA in scoring this year with 72 points in 36 games.

Another one I'm a fan of is Pano Fimis who plays for the Toronto Jr Canadians. Super skilled & Speedy Centre.



For people who wanna know more about who we may end up with here is a ranking with scouting reports on the players.

5-4 (OT) Flint
6-3 Kitchener
5-3 Sarnia

Think we will play fairly well but two tough opponents to start.
