Gotta take advantage of that!

I doubt that 4th line sees much ice. 2 rooks & Sim. Letang ain't playing that more than 5 shifts lol.

 

[StingUpdates]

Absolutely no way that is a 5 minute major. What a horrific call. Thats 2 guy battling for a puck & Wainwright was stronger & Leonard goes down awkwardly. now we are without our 1C the rest of night. Obviously hope Leonard is alright, but that's bad. Cant call penalties because of the outcome. If his wrist didn't get jammed they wouldn't of called it let alone a 5.

So now our 4 usual Cs & top pair are all out lol. Absurd. Gotta minimize the damage on this joke of a major.

A 5 and a game because Leonard lost an edge. And now we're with out are top 3Cs not good. Hopefully Leonard is OK and Wainwright doesn't get suspended.

I hope Leonard is alright but yeah there's no way that's anything. They're battling for the puck and Wainwright hits him from the side creating an awkward fall for Leonard.

Team needs to wake up though. Don't really care what the score was. They shouldn't be leading the game. Played a horrible period against one of the worst teams in the league. Starting on time has been a massive problem this year

Di Iorio
Edwards
Hall
Chamberlain

Just insanity.

Issues now is they played L4 1 shift. U can't run 8Fs all night. Gonna have to play those guys more & the 1 shift they got they didn't touch the puck.

Gonna have 1 guy who actually has played C left in Filak.

But I agree. Their 1sts recently have been horrendous.

 

[StingUpdates]

Jeez where the heck was Omeri going on that goal. Young/Filak already in the battle don't need to leave the front of the net to join in. Completely leaves McCue who scores.

 

[JAMER]

4 straight games where we've given up a 5 on 3. Also 4 straight games of giving up a delay of game penalty. Gotta stay the hell outta the box.

 

[JAMER]

That's a pathetic call on Franceshcetti. After OS has had 4 straight PPs.

 

[StingUpdates]

Nah this is fricken brutal. Kostuch hit from behind again. No call. But Sarnia cant do ANYTHING without being called. Clear cut icing on OS PP not called leads to a near goal. Puck is loose so Franceschetti stabs at it & he gets slashing.

An absolute circus.

 

[StingUpdates]

Annnnd Karimov giveth & taketh away. Scores a nice goal then a brutal, brutal turnover with under 15 seconds left & they tie it. A horrible goal to give up & is the exact reason why Letang has been hesitant to give him T6 minutes.

Omeri again also for no reason dashed for the middle completely leaving his side where the goal was scored. Been his worst game of the year.

 

[JAMER]

How does Barr get a penalty there.

How does Barr get a penalty there.

It was probably a penalty, but when the other team can seemingly do no wrong it's absolutely maddening.

3 guys jump on Simpson. It's offsetting minors lmfao.

I hate to complain like this, but seriously one of the most one sided reffed games I've seen recently. 17 PP mins to 2 tonight. In a close checking, tight game.

 

[StingUpdates]

First & foremost, they did not play a good game tonight. Did not generate anywhere near enough vs a rookie goalie who's struggled. But that game was an absolute joke. Even the linesman were fricken horrible. draw on 4-2 goal Moses wasn't even set yet when they dropped it. kicked out someone every draw it felt like

Lose our 1C in the 1st on a garbage call. Never got any momentum because every 2 minutes we got sent to the box while OS could do 0 wrong all night. A completely maddening, awful game to watch on so many levels.

That was probably our last shot at a win on this road trip from hell where what can go wrong, probably will. Let's just hope they don't lose even more guys by the end of the stupid trip.
