Lantz not listed on the lineup sheet. Hopefully that's just a typo. He played awesome G1 & that line has been terrific lately. Does so much for the team down the middle.

That's a bad hit by Dilly. Gonna get games. Comical how guys can do ANYTHING to Del Mastro & not get called.
Boys gotta calm down.

Have to be way more disciplined too. Guelph is going to take extra pokes today but you have to not retaliate and give them PPs. That was a bad penalty by Fischer mid period. You can grab the guy but don't give him a shot up high. Unfortunately, I think you're right about Dillingham. Wouldn't be surprised if he's suspended for both games in Guelph. Very rare from him, he hits a lot but they're always clean. Hopefully, McKenzie is OK

Only one team can do any wrong today I guess. Every infraction we do is a penalty while every 4th for Guelph is. F*cking horrific.

The Mast hooking was ridiculous.
Will be nice to get Del Mastro back at the 7 minute mark or so. Running out of Dmen

Beautiful flop by Namestnikov who's done it 3 times today. Phantom head check on Anderson. Meanwhile blatant interference on Filak, obvious high stick on Pastujov not called. Missed a high stick on Del mastro. Slash that broke 36s stick. Been atrocious.
Not to mention giving Ritchie unsportsmanlike in a playoff game for saying "f* k off". How many strides are you allowed to take, too? McFarlane came from center to hit Voit.

Big wake-up call for the boys that they are in a Series . Guelph outworked the Sting for most of the game and probably deserved a better fate . If that continues then this Series is going to go the distance .
Hopefully the reffing is going to improve for the rest of the series because it was hugely inconsistent in this game . In the playoffs the fans deserve way better than that .
Congratulations to 73 for a very good game and getting a couple of goals
. Having said that it would be nice to see the occasional pass on those 2 on 1 chances .

They also need to battle abit harder for rebounds and to get into the centre ice in the opposing teams end. Need to bring a higher compete going into Guelph! Also be abit more disciplined, hopefully the officiating will be better there.

Phew.. certainly nowhere near our best. Losing Lantz then Dilly right away definitely caused some disconnect then add in we spent 20+ mins on the PK & we never got going.
But they found a way & that's all that matters this time of year. Sikic HUGE tying goal! He deserved that. Was awesome today as was that entire line. DelBelBelluz was a man possessed at times.
Love to see 77 stand up for Voit & that poor GUE guy didn't stand a chance, but maybe leave it for another day. Same with Fischer who inexplicably fought when we only had 5D available.. Young got burned bad for 4th goal because of it.
Gaudreau was awesome. 1st goal sucked (might of ramped off 3s stick) but he made numerous huge saves. Got some more Benny chants from another rocking crowd. Haven't heard it that loud maybe ever for that OT goal!
Unfortunately, imagine Dillingham is gone 2-3 games. That was a bad hit. Usually throws perfect ones but he totally misjudged it there. Heard Lantz is sick. Pure speculation but wonder if a few guys were not 100% & that played apart in the sluggish at times effort.
I hate whining (might seem like a shocker lmao) but cmon. Wtf was that reffing today. I'm not disputing a majority of our calls (Mast 1 was BS), but how about the 4 or 5 blatant ones GUE did!?! 4 consecutive calls on us meanwhile they look the other way on multiple obvious ones including on GUEs PP that they scored on. Blatant interference. Thankfully, didn't cost us. PK came up Huge.

Btw I’d be pissed if I was the sting on that instigator call on del Mastro. Who cares if del Mastro asked him to fight, McFarlane dropped his stick first and the gloves dropped at the same time and they squared up. Seemed to me like that fight was mutual. Its not like del Mastro skated at him with his gloves off and grabbed him and forced him to fight like 98% of instigator penalties.

That's always been a pet peeve of mine. If they mutually drop 'em, don't call the instigator. Every fight is going to have SOMEONE ask and/or start it. When was the last time two guys just looked at each other, read the others minds, and then went mutually?

What a photo. LOVED 77 hyping up the crowd. Place was roaring. Talk about a scary guy to fight lol.

As much as I liked Del Mastro sticking up for Voit, we really need that guy on the ice, particularly with Dillingham gone. I was counting the minutes until his 17 was done. He is an absolute monster defensively. I don’t recall ever seeing someone that dominant on the blue line.
Exactly! I always thought an instigator was one guy dropping the gloves and skating after a guy and forcing him to fight (almost jumping him)
Good win today, glad to get the 2-0 series lead but I'm very concerned with the discipline of this team. This may not cost the team this series but it will later on if they continue taking bad penalties. The team looked off their game the entire afternoon. Fischer looked like a 16yr old for the first time this season. He was taking dumb penalties all game long, especially the fight! You have to know you're down to 5D you can't go down to 4 for five minutes. Didn't like Del Mastro going after McFarlane either. McFarlane should have gotten a penalty but you can't negate a PP fighting him. Plus Del Mastro is gone for 17 minutes with Dillingham already being out of the game. Glad the PK is great, going 7/8 again today but if you play some disciplined hockey this series could be done soon. If not, Guelph is going to take a couple games. Sorry for the long rant
Now to the positives. I would agree that the whistle wasn't great today but I'm glad the team battled through it and won. The OT period was the best the team played all game. They completely dominated the frame. Thought Ben played well today didn't like the rebound on the 4th goal but I can excuse that because of some the big saves he made in the second. Really liked the way the team got the last three goals today. Tip by Filak, battle in front of the net by Sikic, and a goal in front by Burke with a little bit of luck on the OT winner. Those are the greasy types of goals you have to score to win in the playoffs. DBB had a nice game today too with the two goals. The second goal was just a gorgeous four-way passing play. Now they head to Guelph. If they play like they did in GM1 and in OT today they should get another W

Everything just felt a bit out of wack. With 93 going out the B6 was FAR less effective. Just no rhythm. Then Dilly goes out & Young is playing & doesn't have much chemistry with the others. Lose 77 for 17 minutes then Fischer for 5.
Then so much PK time & as Burke said post-game they never got into their pace, flow. Until OT at least.
Had all the makings of a loss honestly. But good teams find a way & they did. 100% gotta be more disciplined. A few of those penalties were horrendous IQ plays. GUEs PP is close to breaking thru & if they hand them 6-7 opportunities a game one game they will pocket 3-4.

He's a unicorn. Absolute freak of nature. It remains Comical how he simply can not draw a penalty. I think a guy could 2 hand him in the face & the stick break & he'd get the penalty.
Such a horse. He was double shifted in OT & that's no surprise. Kyrou is also a guy who I haven't seen many like.
His ability to walk the line, make guys miss isn't something you see often from D. Very high-level at it. Has his issues at times but he's also a tremendous player.

Can confirm that Limpar-Lantz was/is ill. Really threw off the lines tonight. Then once Dilly got ejected things really started to slow down for us. We definitely did not play our game. Guelph came out skating from the get go so Sarnia had to work for this one. Good teams find a way to win despite all the other shit that goes on in a game (top 3 worst officiated games I’ve seen), and in the end the better team won. Don’t think Guelph had the puck on their stick for anymore then 30 seconds in OT.
Hopefully the boys get some rest and we can get back to rolling our 4 lines on Tuesday.
