Pucks on net quick, with a screen out front and get on rebounds hard. Need to force their way into the centre of the ice in London’s end and jamming the puck on net. Can’t just pass the puck on the outside all day until they lose it, unacceptable and a waste of time. Must show urgency from start to finish.

Bingo. The boys need to adjust and I’m hoping to god the coaching staff know it and coach it. Gotta put in the work, the skill will take care of itself. This game decides the series imo.

For the first 6 games, it’s never decided until you lose one on your home rink. But getting out of town at 1-1 is a good look for the team.
Don’t get sucked in to stupid stuff and move your feet!!

I wouldn't go that far in saying this game decides the series.... if the buzz loose and put in a good effort thats fine. if the buzz loose with a game 1 effort then yah thats probably all she wrote.... Were gonna need Ben to put on a show today I think.... there is no reason why he can't. To be fair to Letang for a second here... if Pasta, Del Bel, Kyrou continue to play their soft dipsy doodle b.s hockey throwing the puck blind in the middle of the ice it wont matter what adjustments he makes we won't win.

Absolutely. I’ve just got this feeling that todays game is the big one. If London goes up 2-0, the odds of Sarnia being able to comeback against London’s tight knit defensive style of play is going to be fairly low, especially when you’d have to go 4-2 after that at the least.
Hoping for positive outcomes either way, regardless of how today goes though! Back to the bud! Go Sting

Good period from the Sting. Carried the possession and had more high danger chances. Liked the way Wainwright was playing. Supported his d-men well, got one really good chance on Brochu on the wraparound, and had a really nice PK shift. Gaudreau with two good stops on Edward and Diaco midway through the period. Still have to be careful in the scrums after the whistle. Refs are only taking one again today
Oh no that's heartbreaking. This was such a great series between goalies and to have such an innocent looking maneuver take out one of the two great goalies is just unfair.
I hope for London fans that he is alright, this game was so exciting wondering about which goalie would be beaten first. Definitely hope to see him back next game, always scary to lose a goalie.

Been a Helluva game. Absolute chess match. Goalies playing unreal. Each team getting some breaks with posts/goal line misses.
Hate to see brochu hurt. Maybe just a cramp? To far fetched to say this next pd is the biggest in franchise history?

Great battle so far today. We were able to survive London's push in the first half of the second period. Now we need a push of our own to start the third. Hoping Brochu is alright. Always scary to see a non-contact injury
Need to continue to battle just as hard or even harder in this third. Knights will play even harder infront of this kid. Don’t sleep on Bowen he is a very good young goalie! I hope brochu is back next game.
Sting need to get a few past the backup goalie.... Pastujov needs to figure something out holy smokes hes been a ghost. Line 3 needs to step up. Big 3rd lets go
So many pucks in the slot with virtually nothing funnelled toward the net and eventual loss of possession.
On the flip side, London has had countless net front opportunities this afternoon. Sting were very lucky on the 2nd period.

Absolutely hate del bel’s game, floats, doesn’t battle, unwilling to hit or atleast use his body to get position on the puck. Soft as baby shit that guy, Letang needs to get on him.
What a disappointment.... Pastujov, Belluz and sikic are simply an awful line they turn it over all the time by trying to be heroes...Belluz especially the guy is so lazy. zero heart on that line... break it up. put villmanis up there I don't care.... Ben was great... wasted effort. Letang waiting too long to pull the goalie again ... goalie shoulda been out with 2 mins left not 50 seconds... complete joke. Every goal was scored when the team just put it on net but Sarnia still thinks they need to make 9 passes to score...
How is that a bone head play? Player driving to the net with possession of the puck, and DelMastro separates him from the puck. 2 minutes for being stronger then your opponent.

Think they would learn from Ritchie’s goal, puck comes to him and it was immediately off his stick on net with burke screening. That’s how you win in playoffs. Both 5 on 5 and powerplay. They still need to ramp up there game and I agree that line stunk. Goalie was good, defence was good. 7 or 8 forwards were good but they need to get the other guys going and playing playoff hockey. Letang must pull the goalie with atleast a minute and a half left. I’m done repeating the same shit. Hopefully they get it figured out.
