Right, they aren’t playing, but yet seems to blame them and think it’s all there fault for struggling…are they the ones who make the plays on the ice? Or make the mistakes And clearly the team isn’t doing well this year but everyone doesn’t seem to understand how young they are and how inexperienced and have no veteran top talent end talent like every other team in the league…when that happens, rebuilds take longer then just 1 1/2 years…everyone wants our top 16 and 17 year old guys to up against the top players in the league who are 19 and 20, obviously there will be struggle when that happens…people who actually played the game would know and understand

Great 1st. Loved the physicality. Need to pick your spots well because they seem intent on calling lots today. Was awesome to see the energy Luecke brought. The stretch pass on Doucette's goal was a beauty

Maybe you're new here but no one expected this team to be good... but people didn't expect them to be this bad. Maybe go read the past threads or don't. Nothing ur saying is wrong but Letang and the coaching staff deserve blame too. Letang has been awful with the lines and in game management.

Yes they deserve some of the blame, but not all of it…yes his game management hasn’t been good but even a new coaching staff comes in, it’s not gonna change the results at the end of the year with how young the team is

HUGE goal by O'Brien his 1st in the league!! What a pass by Brown who's having a whale of a game.

Team is FINALLY showing some spirit. Fischer takes on their toughest guy who's been taking jabs at our guys all game. Love it.

NEED to close this out.

His systems his pp and pk and D zone style of play etc. You think players can just play how they want??? Cant look what happened to Johnston look at karimov. Anyway must not understand what coaches do. Team is way worse then should be and that's on Letang /jefferies.

The systems and style of play doesn’t work when you don’t have top end skill and experience on the ice to execute those systems when they are going up against team who do have those top end skill and experience…you say the team is way worse then it should be, but really, on paper who should be better then?

London - No (11 NHL Prospects)
Windsor - No (3 NHL Prospects plus 1st overall pick)
Erie - No (3 NHL Prospects and 2 top 15 NHL picks this coming year)
Kitchener - No (5 NHL Prospects)
Flint - No (5 NHL Prospects)
Soo - No (4 NHL Prospects)
Saginaw - No (4 NHL Prospects and Top 5 NHL draft pick this coming year)
Owen Sound - Yes
Guelph - No (3 NHL Prospects)

Us (1 NHL Prospect)

Don’t see how much better we should be this year when you really look at the teams and there rosters…

Letang had the most high end prospects in 2022 and did diddly squat with it... same with team Canada at the world jrs.

Mem cup bound!!

God it's been way to few & far between watching this team win. Great effort top to bottom & for the entire 60 minutes. This uptick in physical play has been awesome to see. FLT & OS are always 2 teams who pride themselves in being tough, physical & Sarnia really put it on both physically.

Brown-Beamish-Filak have been sensational together. THIS is the Brown I thought we had out of camp. He was dominant tonight. Unreal feed to O'Brien for his huge, 1st goal. JJ-Hall have some good chemistry going. They are winning all the battles, hitting anything that moves. fun to watch & Luecke filled in very well. Arguably his best OHL game & he got his 1st pt!

L2 has looked better these 2 games, but still nowhere near the level all 3 were playing before being formed. 17-19 looked good together. Unfortunate they barely played. So frustrating, but nice to see them score what ended up as the GWG.

Dominant night from Young-Fischer. 1G/2A, +5 & a fight win. They really looked like they wouldn't be denied tonight. Loving 72-6 2nd pair. Bodin left hurt so hope he's alright. Surzycia as he is most nights rock solid.

PK was awesome going 6/6. Some huge blocks & puck battles won, although vs a unit that looked as poor as ours haha.

Gotta carry it into SSM. Win that & you feel good about yourself. Lose it & this relief of finally winning goes out the window esp with KIT LDN after that.

Well we get the W against a weak team without there all star starting goalie. On to the next losing streak lol. I wonder how much credit Letang is going to try and take from this W to try and save his A$$.
