It shouldn't be a surprise but Mailloux has 0 self control lol.

Guys u want scoring get one. HAVE to keep pushing

 

[Ferda11]

That’ll do. Good start. Knights giving themselves all sorts of penalty trouble. I like the new formation of the PP…it makes sense. Good movement and the right guys in the right place. Keep putting pucks to the net and keep the foot down.

Dear Sarnia Broadcast Team,

Please stop playing the Trevor Letang interview. I've seen it 4x, including twice in the same game. Can someone just babble about hockey in the intermission? Snack refills and bathroom breaks can only get me so far....

Fashion observation

I'm digging the black shirts and yellow ties on the coaches....dapper

 

[davewheeler]

Lol that 'goalie interference' call on Del Mastro is a joke. Reffies doing everything they can to keep London close.

 

[StingUpdates]

I "whine' to much so I'm not saying anything other than lol.

HAVE to close this. Don't sit back

For christsake.... this interview has also been played to death.

Edited: Wait!!! Same folks but new material!!! Thank god,

 

[davewheeler]

refs scared to make any call vs London now... what a joke.

 

[davewheeler]

Oh Boy we've got a series!!!!!! Sarnia handled London tonight even with the refs being utterly ridiculous. I knew London's style of flick the puck 20 feet In the air and hope for the best would eventually come to an end. Pasta was great... went to the net and scored... I wonder if London fans still think rolling with Bowen is ok??? Cya tomorrow!

 

[robp1219]

Not sure how cranes goal counted, he clearly tripped Ritchie right infront of the ref all eyes on the play, then gets the puck and scored. Not sure how that’s not a penalty downright embarrassing. Good game need to stay out of the bullshit after the whistle. If London wants to push and shove after the whistle let them. They will be coming hard tomorrow, Sarnia needs to be prepared for war and play extra hard!

 

[StingUpdates]

ON THE BOARD! There we fricken go. Couldn't of asked for a better start than DBB scoring. That line came up huge with 2G/4A. Exactly what we & they needed. Questioned Sikic staying T6 & he gets 2A as well.

PP with a huge goal & looked much more threatening tonight. LDNs playing a risky, risky game giving Voit so much space on it. Loved putting Kyrou on PP1. He's such a gifted puck mover. Better sense of when to shoot than 77, too.

Lantz was awesome. 1G/1A, 7/12 in face-off dot. He gave L1 a lot of jump. How about the captain!! Biggest game of his career & he beats up Humphrey & gets 3A & goes +3. Phenomenal.

And that Ritchie goal... just sensational. Then he stares down the ref after it, too. Bloody brilliant. Downright pathetic, embarrassing, laughable they didn't call the trip on him before LDNs 2nd goal. Called 10 penalties & that wasn't one. Shameful. Truly. You know it's bad when Sarnia fans are chanting 'Refs you suck'

Ppl disagreed but I loved Anderson tonight. He was yapping with LDNs bench all night & some of them became more side tracked with him than the game. Didn't play a lot, but was effective. What u want from L4.

Gaudreau was solid. Honestly had a lot of routine ones, but did make a few beauties. 5on5 I thought we defended brilliantly.

Can't be to happy with it. Gotta go again tomorrow & even this series. LFG.

 

[Ferda11]

Good win. Big guys stepped up, especially Pastujov. Maybe Sarnia is finally realizing the goals don’t have to all be pretty. Nice to see more shots/traffic at the net. Wish we would push a little more with that though. London has 2 guys out front during their PP screening Benny most of the time. They get good results.

Quick turnaround. If they can even it up tomorrow, it’s like the first two games never happened! I expect a much different London team tomorrow.

They did the same thing vs KIT. Won 2, sort of mailed in G3 then won G4&G5. If we make the mistake of thinking it's smooth sailing now we'll be out by Friday.

0 reason & I mean 0 reason why this team shouldn't be even better tomorrow with a win under them & potting 5 goals. 5on5 they've been really good even in LDN.

There's still another level or two for this team to hit. Gotta see it tomorrow. Also the 50/50 was nearly 25K tonight! Bunch of degenerates in this city lmao

Ya sarnia forwards are going to have to do a better job of blocking their point shots tomorrow and the defence need to do a better job of clearing guys from infront of the net. Sting also need to do a better job of clearing the puck on the Pk or when they are in trouble.

lol I hate to toot my own horn but I said I'd have Lantz on line 1!!!!! amazing move by Letang.

Brilliant call! Maybe he reads this! Haha. Crowd tonight was 4740. Just outstanding. Obviously it pissed a lot of ppl off (rightfully so) but they accomplished their goal of limiting LDN fans tonight.

Never heard less cheers for them scoring here. Maybe it was just a quiet group who came but I'm not sure there were more than 60-70 ppl.

Absolutely loved the Bowen chants. Gotta think he's never experienced something like this. He wasn't bad but he definitely had his shaky moments.

I love it.... amazing move by Sarnia to keep London out ... we already got game 5 tickets in London haha. If I am being completely honest the Bud garden atmosphere is just meh... sure a lot of fans but its kinda sleepy in there... The Hive's atmosphere tonight blew the bud's away.

 

[Flyers 1st]

Nice to see Hoover on the ice but he couldn't have had 2-3 shifts? Hopefully he didn't re-injure something. DelMastro took a couple of soft penalties, maybe he gets jacked up tomorrow and really gets mean. Somebody needs to take a run at Mailloux , knock him down a peg. Yeah FAIST gave the Knights a goal , doesn't have enough balls for a makeup call

Yah I thought that too. It is really, really tough to step into the speed of this series, especially a team like LDN after missing so much time like he has.

The slash & trip were legit. The goalie interference tho? Terrible. He fell. They always, always, always let it go when a player toe-picks. Not like it was violent either. I think he's scared to lay guys out. Any time he's touching guys in this series he's getting called. Not even saying they r improper calls (outside GI) he's just so strong it's almost to his detriment at times.

Honestly let Mailloux do exactly what he did tonight. He became unglued in the 1st. Took 2 terrible penalties then had a bad TO that eventually lead to Pastujov's goal. Don't even entertain him.

 

[SarniaStingFan]

Huge win for the team! Couldn't have scripted a better start for the Sting. DBB getting on the board and Pastujov getting an assist was exactly what the team needed. Voit and Burke with yet another beautiful play on Burke's PP goal. I liked the look of the PP with Kyrou on the top unit. It doesn't hurt to give Del Mastro a few minutes off. Great individual effort from Pastujov on the third goal. We need to see that type of effort from him every night from now on. Then, great work by our depth on the fourth and fifth goals. Great shift from Burke, MLL, and Vilmanis on the 4-1 goal. Dillingham played the bank perfectly off the boards and great awareness by Limpar-Lantz to get positioning and slide it home. Shout out to Dillingham too, great game with 3A and the big fight. Awesome to see Ritchie score the 5-2 goal after he got screwed on London's second goal. That's how you stick it to the refs. No let up tomorrow night. Come out and win again!
