Sarnia Sting 2022-23 Off-Season Thread (Part 4)

[davewheeler]

You just can't make it up. For 3 months & the first 3 games our T6 was unbelievable. Unstoppable even.

Whipping the puck around like few Sting teams have. One loss & it's all gone. Pastujov can't handle the puck. Voit can't make a pass. Burke can't hit the net. Del Bel Belluz doesn't even get the puck anymore.

seems like the refs have turned on us too... still 2-1 on the power plays but still I feel like we should have had a few more.

That was a pretty sweet tackle on Kyrou. Hopefully the NFL scouts saw that one! Yet way got a hook for playing D lmao.

What's even the point tho. PP isn't doing jacksh*t right now.

 

[StingUpdates]

Kyrou may cost us but at least the kids fricken battling. He leaves it all out there. Takes hits to make plays. At least he's trying to generate.

Next goal very well might be the series. Maybe that's to much but it certainly feels like this team is on the verge of a full blown collapse.

 

[StingUpdates]

73 is all alone in the slot & he simply loses control lmao. Wainwright has a tap in & can't control it. Now a penalty they let go all 1st is called now.

 

[StingUpdates]

PASTUJOV! FINALLY! What a play by 77

Lol. LOVE the consistency of these calls.

Hate to be that person but choach MacDonald not seeing ice so his sole job now “ take out Max “

Go ahead bring out the haters, it’s wrong to think but this Sting fan has had enough

 

[StingUpdates]

What a shocker. They miss a BLATANT blindside hit. Textbook blind siding. But don't worry if we slash them its automatic.

 

[StingUpdates]

How is the PP THIS BAD all of a sudden!?! Voit can't make a damn pass. Like holy sh*t.

Gaudreau came up big that period. Win a period win a series.

 

[HkyBeegs3]

This team is looking defeated, gaudreau sure, has made a few decent saves but hasnt stole a game when it matters. Series has the same feel as a leafs series, prediction, game 7 series loss. Hope im wrong

 

[StingUpdates]

Need a save there. Simply need it.

 

[Jnrl0719]

Ben has to be better

 

[StingUpdates]

PP. Now would be a good time.

 

[StingUpdates]

It's a miracle.

 

[StingUpdates]

Easter dinner? Who needs it. OT it is lmao. Good lord. Gaudreau gotta come up with a big save here.

Gotta play like they did in OT of G2. Don't take a back step. Constant pressure.

 

[nelli27]

Sting win! STING WIN!

THANK YOU JEBUS!

THIS IS WHAT A SERIES WIN FEELS LIKE?!

THIS IS WHAT A SERIES WIN FEELS LIKE?!

Who knew??!!??
OK - so perhaps this team really has something.

4 wins - 12 to go?
Show me something guys!
Good news is we will be playing another team that didn’t sweep and will be just as exhausted as our guys.

 

[StingUpdates]

NOLAN BURKE YOU WONDERFUL f***IN BASTARDDDDD!!!!!! LETS GOOOOOO

 

[robp1219]

Thank God! Sting move on!… very good series by Guelph props to them! Refs were atrocious all series. Embarrassing calls both ways in every game. That was a good learning experience on how to play playoff hockey, sting need to start the next series strong and play full 60 minutes. They definitely need to get the PP rolling again. Hopefully Ritchie isn’t out too long, we need him. Go Sting Go!!!

 

[davewheeler]

Sheesh it wasn't pretty... hopefully a wake up call for the fellas that they can't just show up and win... Props to Guelph they were really well coached, had a better work ethic and better game plan ... just not as much talent. Get the feet going a bit more and we should mow through Flint/Saginaw.

 

[Ferda11]

Little adversity never hurt anyone lol….thank god we finished it off today…I don’t think I could have handled a game 7.

Sting have some issues to address no doubt, but they should be getting a nice little 4/5 day break before the start of round 2. Just need our blue line back in tact and the power play desperately needs to get sorted out.

I think some valuable lessons will be learned from this series and they should help us in the long run. Rather get the jitters/kinks out now rather then further down the road. Hope they take this opportunity to grow off the mistakes this series.

Props to Guelph for a hard fought series. Bright future there.

 

[ohloutsider]

The deeper you go and the longer the series is the less likely the refs will blow the whistle. Players just need to recognize that and play through it.
They did that in the 3rd and 4th period today. Nice win .

 

[StingUpdates]

Cmon now it's the Sarnia Sting. It's never easy... haha.

They certainly need to fix things, but they pulled thru. Dilly gone for practically 5 games, Lantz misses 2 & still isn't 100%, Burke missed 1 & is still sick, no Ritchie today on top of a few other guys not feeling the best.

HUGE rest days upcoming. Dillingham returning will be massive. Ritchie unfortunately is probably out for a bit I'd imagine & that'll hurt a lot in RD2.

SAG/FLT game 7 tomorrow to see who we play. Let's enjoy this one for a few days. It's been way to long.

Maybe facing some real adversity early on is what we need. Prior Sting teams folded at the first sight of it.

Let's fricken go.
