Sarnia Sting 2023-2024 Off-Season Thread (Part 1)

[StingUpdates]

Just got mentioned to me Bridgewater left the game late 2nd and never returned. Injuries are are adding up already. Annoying cause these 2 games were his best & tonight was his best game I thought.

Makes it Hall, Franceschetti, Bodin, Kostuch & now Bridgewater all banged up in some way. Super frustrating. Hopefully they are all just minor & nothing longterm.

Think I called for a line mix up and man was best lines yet of preseason. 1 think OP coach needs to re evaluate Doucette on point ... ugly

Well they let their foot off the gas a bit to much in the 3rd period (like LDN did yesterday) & nearly blew it, but overall a much cleaner & better showing.

Absolutely loved Barr tonight. 2A, +3 & was making fantastic decisions all game. Kid is gonna be a damn good Dman. 6A in 5 games. Bridgewater with his best defensive game too going +3.

Very nice debut for Karimov. 1G/1A. Kid just flys up and down the ice lol. Little out of control & chaotic at times, but super fun to watch. Also showed he likes the rough stuff. Was throwing hits & chirping a fair bit.

Di Iorio dinishes off a very strong pre season with 1G/1A. 3G/2A in 5 games for him. Doucette was a lot better tn but god damn get him off the half wall on the PP. Idk what's up but he can't control the puck to save his life on it. Solid game from Surzycia.

Hopefully JJ is alright. Never wanna see fights end like that. Looked like his leg was more of an issue so hopefully nothing major. Love his heart. Luecke another scrap too.

Week now to iron some things out and hopefully add bodin Fischer and Kostuch!

Where does kostuch fit in?

Where does kostuch fit in?

I'd have him with Wainwright. If they stick with Karimov w/23/17 I'd run

Kostuch-Wainwright-Doucette
Brown-Wainwright-Karimov
Franceschetti-Edwards-Filak
Luecke-Chamberlain-Moses

Hurt-Fischer
Bodin-Young
Barr-Bridgewater
