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

I was accused of lying for not 'painting a better picture'. I'm not much of a painter, so I had to resort to drawing.
Hopefully you guys can see the humour...now let's drop it and move on.

Lmaoooo. Amazing . Seriously though, I wish I had your artwork ability.

Good artwork! but I think this needs to be dropped by both sides already lol

No sides here but maybe that's just me ( and also part of the problem with discussion on HF, alot of posters picks sides instead of discussing things and assuming ill intent) Again I wasn't looking to defend, excuse, or justify any1s actions.
A Sting fan made a claim without context as to what actually happened. When asked to clarify they choose not to. No biggie, that's on them. But it leads to this stuff on a public forum when assuming starts as only a couple out of the 10plus that commented.
Kinda feels like farting in a room and running away. ( it was "heartbreaking" if I recall, so why not tell the story as seen. I'll be the first to condemn it)
Which is ok. But asking for context on event......no idea why that has some seemingly upset n slinging mud.

I responded to your post buy did not single out any posters thoughts other than the one who didn't add context for the rest of us.

All good enjoy the game. And likely, probable series W. Good team and a great unprecedented run for the org.

No Anderson tonight. Took a cheap shot to the head by Federkow at the end of G4. Sucks as he played rather well in the 2 home games. Got under a couple LDN players skins.

No Hoover as well. Poor kid simply can't catch a break.

I’d imagine Doucette and Macdonald draw back in.

I don't need to pick sides personally. I know the poster and have since my early days as a sting fan. I simply believe him based off the fact that I know him lol. You might need more, but most of us know the credibility of the poster and that's good enough for us. It's not like he went and posted this stuff on the London board. No one asked the LDN fans to walk in here and start calling bullshit on his post lol. His explanations of the events were pretty straight forward. Believe him or don't, but he certainly does not owe anyone more then what he already provided.

@FatKid , I guess the picture wasn't good enough. Can you try a short story next? Illustrations may be needed as well. Report back by EOD.

I don't need to pick sides either. So sorry to all Sting fans reading for asking what happened lol. Guess that was too much.

 

[StingUpdates]

Unreal. Couldn't of asked for a better start. Been ALL over them & they score first shot. Oy.

 

[StingUpdates]

Wow. That was our best PD of the series & we trail. All over them. Just keep pushing boys.

 

[SarniaStingFan]

Not much bad to say about that period. First PP needed to be a lot better. Everything at 5v5 went really well outside of the one mistake by Kyrou leading to a goal. Keep putting the pressure on London

He should've used his feet, but unfortunate it bounced right over his stick.

 

[StingUpdates]

Bowen putting on his best Brochu tonight. Holy. We need to score the next one. Need to.

Couple big saves by Gaudreau to keep it 1-0. Simply gotta find a way to score. Somebody bang in a rebound. Somebody get a screen in.

 

[ohloutsider]

Dump and chase doesn't work if you don't win the chase part. Sarina needs to keep possession more. They put tons of pressure in London's end but they can't keep giving it away blindly. Keep the foot on the gas. Get 1 and maybe the flood gates open. Love the effort just need to play a bit smarter.

Have to. I feel like the Pastujov-DBB-Sikic line was really close to breaking through in that period. They were getting to the front of the net and had a couple whacks at rebounds

 

[stingfan21]

Lets hope Kyrou realizes he plays D soon.

 

[StingUpdates]

40 minutes of work for Gaudreau to utterly piss it away. Un fricken believable.

Speechless.

 

[davewheeler]

A prime example of why Ben Gaudreau is un-signed.... Buzz tie the game and ben lets in two wrist shots from the top of the circle.... Biggest game of the year and Gaudreau is being out-played by a rookie.... This one is on no one but him.. I've been saying the whole year that you can't trust Ben.

 

[davewheeler]

What the hell are you even challenging there too.... Buzz absolutely shitting themselves in the biggest period of the year. Talk about deer in the headlights... pathetic from such a veteran team

see y'all Sunday and hopefully Monday.

 

[StingUpdates]

1 goal a game on the road ain't winning anything. This high powered offense has been an utter joke in London.

Gaudreau falls apart for 1 minute & it's the biggest minute of our season.

Season on the line Sunday.

yah wont cut it but like buzz controlled the play the entire game and finally scored then Ben puts on a show.... Backbreaking goals that you can't recover from. Ben hasn't been good in London which isnt' good because were eventually gonna need to win a game there. Ive never seen a goalie as big as him get beat clean by so many outside shots. Baffling.

He was quite good in G2. He was solid in G1. He would've needed 2 shutouts to win either game.

Tonight he blew it. No way around it. Outplayed them all game just to get it to 1-1 for him to allow an absolute stinker then follow it up with another one.

Doesn't make up for the fact this team can't score to save their life in LDN. PP looked disgusting tonight & not in a good way. That late PP down 3-1 was an absolute joke. 0 urgency.

Bowen was great but helps when every shot is right at his chest. How many glove saves, blocker saves did he have to make. How many second chance saves

Anybody seen Vilmanis in this series cause I sure as hell haven't. So disappointed in his play.

Onto Sunday. Get it to a G7 & see what happens. They can do it. They will do it.

We will disagree about game 1... he was getting beat clean by shots that game too and has been out-performed by the London goalie 3 times on the road.... The fact of the matter is this.... You're not going to have an offensive explosion vs London when they're at home..that should be clear as day by now... if were going to win a game 7 in the Bud it will be a 2-1 game or 1-0... So Ben needs to put on his big boy pants and step up for once.

I guess this comes down to being out played between the pipes. Both teams were equal in chances but our veteran goalie got beat by a rookie goalie. There’s Bowen reminding everyone why he was 17-4-1 this year.

Sarnia has shown zero ability to win a game on the road in this series. Not sure a game 7 would change that. Brutal.

TBH When Dilly tied it up I fully expected Sarnia to win.... Ben also needs to stop exchanging with London players.. literally eveytime he freezes the puck hes bickering with someone... he needs to chill ... let London talk. I haven't seen Bowen or Brochu bickering with Sarnia players. Ben seems somewhat hot-headed out there.
