Sarnia Sting 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part I

[stingwagoner]

We all agree but still hate to see a kid scratched so much.

Definitely. Once Franceschetti returns I'm not sure how he enters the lineup again barring a number of injuries. Would prefer he be sent to the legionnaires or Strathroy but clearly not what they are doing as of now.

Wouldn't be surprised if at some point he's released & goes to the QMJHL like lominac. He could've gone that route his draft yr. That league will be better for him.

27 off roster ?

Anyone know why Omeri is no longerer on the roster?

 

[StingUpdates]

Believe @stingwagoner mentioned it that he was assigned to Collingwood. Mixed feelings on it. Honestly thought he was giving them solid minutes, but I absolutely hate carrying 8D & it isn't fair to the players because that's 2D sitting most nights.

Him being 18 while Andersen is 17 & plays a more chippy style probably is another reason why it's Omeri sent down & not Andersen.

For him to be sent down also tells you they probably went around the league (just like with Chartier) & nobody showed interest.

See if the boys can sweep the northern trip! Can't remember them doing it to often so it would be great to see.

Do worry about a little fatigue. A lot of travel. Flu bug been going thru the team all week as well.

Soo have also found their game now & have won 3of4. So gonna be a tough one as it always is in the Soo.

Maybe little brotherly bonding will help them have bit more fight for each other. Sometimes just takes that little bit for a teammate to fight through a 3 in 4 road trip final game
Love the travel early in season that tends to help boys bond. Long season so I think 2 of 3 is a really successful northern swing but think they take all 3.
With a really tough 3 games next week love to see the sweep. Get alot of momentum heading into that. Surzycia should go today as he is rested and ready.

Yes, Omeri re-assigned to JR A with Collingwood, don't think they want to cut him loose entirely as an injury to bodin/young or Barr would put him right back in the mix.
Looks like a bit of a safety net for DS

 

[StingUpdates]

Same lines as we've seen. Looks like Luecke back in on L4 and maybe Bridgewater out. Surzycia starts.

 

[StingUpdates]

Definitely their worst game of the weekend which isn't to surprising. Big PPG from the captain to tie it up. Team definitely being to chaotic in their own end though.

Have a feeling it'll cost them. Hopefully Luecke is OK. That was an incredibly dirty hit by Carlisle.

Not a great effort but still get a point. Nothing wrong with 5 of 6 points. Also Edwards with an assist he's now 1st in rookie scoring in the OHL not bad for a 3rd rounder who wasn't supposed to come over.

Unfortunate result. Was an annoying game where Sarnia would control for long stretches then SSM would score (twice in the 2nd.) Played a terrific 3rd period then a harmless shot goes in. If it didn't hit anything that is one Surzcyia really needed to stop. They had given them almost nothing the previous 6-7 minutes, too.

Just wasn't their day & it sorta felt like it throughout. Hitting 2 posts on 3 shootouts shots summarizes it pretty well too, lol.

But, got a point & take 5 of 6 on the northern trip while battling the flu bug! Team played some damn good hockey this weekend, but this was definitely their weakest of the 3 which I expected. PP scores another goal, PK was perfect again.

Love seeing more spread out scoring. L1 (Wainwright) gets another, L3 (Kostuch) gets another, Johnston on L2 sets up Barr for his goal & the PP scores with Di Iorio & Edwards getting in on it.

Ton of good to take from this weekend. Hopefully Fischer is alright as he didn't play a shift in OT. He was having a great game too. Would've been nice having him in 3on3. Gotta rest up now before the school day game vs Flint.

Just quickly watched the end back & Fischer hurt his shoulder/arm/wrist on the final regulation shift. Threw a nice hit & didn't use the arm again. Man if he's out an extended period of time that'll be absolutely killer for this team. Especially with some heavy hitters upcoming.

Was supposed to go the American route, but is definitely a Canadian kid!! Glad he chose ton play with the Sting. Kids got a bright future!!
