Sarnia Sting 2019-20 Season Thread

[robp1219]

Obviously it's all about Gaudreau after tonight but Ryan Roth with back to back 3 point games. He has made the power play look lethal. Him & Perreault have found some good chemistry.

Roth-McGregor-Perreault
Would be a lethal line i think. 2nd line of Bitten-Rees-Josling would be a very very solid L2.

we will have a lethal forward group, I also thought Kammerer’s pass was great! Roth better take him out for dinner because kammerer scored that for him

Well....Can't see I saw that coming. I did pick the Sting to get the W last night but was not expecting that!

First off, 50 shots is never good and being outshot by 25 is concerning. BUT they did settle down in the 2nd and 3rd and were much tighter defensively. Hatcher finally just played defense and had his best game. Hjorth as well. I hope Kammerer is ok because he has been top 2 for us. Mast keeps getting better and better. Nolet was ok, he did get caught a few times and was a bit slow getting back. Still need to see our forwards getting back hard. Too many times they get caught up ice and can't get back to help the odd man rush. Thought the Sting did a good job keeping shots to the outside and taking away the shooting lanes.

Ben Gaudreau....wow. His calmness, poise, positioning...everything he did just seemed so professional. I'm not sure what else to say that hasn't been said by everyone on here, just a sensational debut!!

Does Sarnia go back to Gaudreau tonight? Most would say no, don't over due it. Keeping in mind he's 16, was off for so long etc. BUT this is the Sarnia Sting and we all know our coach and it would not surprise me one bit to see him in again tonight and Sunday. We shall see.

Let's just get the team defense to come together and get everyone back healthy and there is some hope here. I still believe this group has enough talent when completely healthy to compete and win against any team in the league. Let's see what the win last night does going forward.

Only one game but wow Gaudreau looks like the real deal. I would sit him and put him back sunday. He is 16 and I am sure he knows how he is feeling and will help decide whether he should play.Good Luck

I’m just hoping his knee isn’t all puffed up after his first game of the year. Only a fool would play him all 3 this weekend in any case (so I guess we can’t rule that out, if you know what I mean). Langevin tonight, Gaudreau Sunday - pleeease!

 

[Savard18]

Little late to the game but I just saw the score and the read the box score. Congratulations Sting fans and Mr Gaudreau. Pretty sure he should be referred to as MR. GAUDREAU until further notice.

Sitting Voit & Berka tonight. Lets just take all the skill out of are bottom-6. Great idea. It annoys me to no end how little of a chance berka has had to flourish with this team.

Funny, I was considering a “why did I come to North America” rant about Berka a couple days ago. The guy comes all this way to get crap minutes on a 0-7 team. It’s just wrong, IMO

I don’t think hill and burke both need to be in the lineup one or the other or none, hatcher must want langevin to take the weekend off and rest and forget about his start of the season makes sense but I don’t like gaudrea playing all 3 games

Nevermind langevin in net, hopefully he feels less pressure having another goalie that can play now

 

[StingUpdates]

We are finally playing well & beating the best team in the country & the feed cuts. Lmao of course.

Well a lead is a lead when your playing a team as good as Oshawa's. Definitely have to calm it down, can't win 10-9 vs a team as offensively gifted as them

 

[robp1219]

Huge win for the sting, back to back wins, both goalies get a win under their belt...big confidence boost, now need to take care of business Sunday and climb the standing....roth was a huge pick up, he will be lights out next year, I’m glad rees is making up for his bone head play in game 1... hjorth is getting better and better, can’t wait to see mast next year he will be unreal I think

 

[LDN]

WOW congrats! Huge win!

 

[StingUpdates]

Wow!! Sarnia gives Oshawa there first L of the season. Not something i saw coming. What a performance from the whole team but Especially Roth, Rees, Josling, Hatcher, Mast & Langevin! They dominated tonight.

Now we return home to face KGN all of a sudden there is hope!! Lets go!!

 

[Ferda11]

Wow, let’s go boys!!! Keep it going!!! Gotta tighten up in our own end and get the shots against down but holy cow, the offence has been resurrected!!! Josling is on a mission right now!! My god!

 

[Uncle]

Your forward core is very solid and should be able to cover defensive shortcomings. Didnt see you guys as a bottom of the standings team... mid-lower but not bottom

Is hatcher back to playing simple defensive hockey? He was a good dman when he did that, every game this year he’s been trying to be an offensive guy which he isn’t

Still awaiting season debuts from our best defensive defenceman in reesor and our best player mcgregor

 

[cupcrazyman]

Only 4pts behind London lol

He has definitely tightened up this weekend. Alot better. Along with Hjorth.

Said it the other day Offensively we have 2 really good scoring lines, a solid 3rd line & a young 4th line. We should be able score with almost any team. If Langevin & Gaudreau play like they have the last two nights (ik 49/50 is unrealistic lol) we are in good shape.

Agreed especially with reesor and mcgregor yet to play

Hold your heads high Sarnia...that was a freakin awesome win. Congratulations.

 

[Texcanuck]

Nice picks by Tone this week!!

 

[LDN]

Only 4pts behind London lol

LOL nice...both teams are better than the standings show

 

[Savard18]

Nice picks by Tone this week!!

Ha! I was gonna pick Sarnia to get their first win against Oshawa but I didn't picture that score or the Gaudreau driven W against Barrie. You guys throwing your hat into the West Division race?

 

[Tone]

He should start picking the opposition maybe him picking the sting is jinxing them

You are welcome!!! LOL. The Boys have got theirMojo, Keep it going Lads.
