Sarnia Sting 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part I

[JAMER]

What a dirty hit on Young after the whistle. And Flint only gets a 2 min interference call. What a joke.

 

[StingUpdates]

I guess 3 blatant cross checks right in the back to guys without the puck isn't a penalty anymore.

 

[JAMER]

Officiating in this game has not been good. Flint just got away with 3 blaintant cross checks in that final min and not 1 call.

Given themselves a chance in this one. Certainly not been their best. Reffing definitely been questionable to say the least.

Love them standing up for each other all day though. Including Karimov although that wasn't much of a fight lol.

Especially with Fischer out u love to see that.

Well that was ugly but they found a way to win. Easily are worst game of the year.

A win is a win! Thank you Nick Surzcyia! 42/43 & 4/5 in the SO. That's the best goalie game this team has gotten honestly in a few years. He stole that game. Outstanding stuff.

Wainwright & Kostuch with some nasty SO goals. Di Iorio another PPG. Thought Young had a great game. Beat the hell out of Konyen, too. Karimov was really buzzing & got the final shift in regulation (nearly scored) & got two OT shifts finally.

4 fights. Sticking up for each other vs a big, mean Flint team & found a way to win. Thats 5/6 points vs Flint so far too. Huge win with their upcoming schedule & Fischer's injury.

Well that was ugly but they found a way to win. Easily are worst game of the year.

id argue the last game vs Flint was worse haha. Least today they generated they just didn't defend well. They didn't do anything well in that last game vs them. Somehow won both. Sorta evens out those games we should've won vs SAG/OSH.

Was a tough morning game , some guys still asleep at times. Thank god for Surzycia.
Liked to see different shooters in shootout and ended getting results needed. Maybe Letang read the board and took our advice. Lol
Kostuch 1/2 in shootouts this year, Wainwright 2/2 in shootouts and has an OT winner this year as well.
6-2-4 pretty damn good start

Certainly seems like he's woken up a bit. Karimov playing more even with him listed on L4. Kostuch playing more. Even at C which I thought was interesting. Maybe planning ahead for when 17/81 are gone. Both played in OT then 18 in the SO.

Been a much better start than I anticipated. Figured they'd take awhile to find their footing with so much youth, but it's been the opposite. Their young guys have stepped in immediately & been great.

I fear these next 10-15 games could be a struggle with Fischer out, 17/81 leaving & the level of opponents we play (+8 game road trip), but this team has found ways to keep games close all yr. Hopefully can keep doing it.

Nice to see Karimov, Kostuch & Hurt all on the central scouting list today! Hopefully Barr can work his way on it throughout the year.

Kapageridis is also on it.

It's a separated shoulder for Fischer. It's at least good the initial expectation if 4 weeks. But with this you never know & it's also something that can be re-injured as we saw with Chychrun, Konecny & Dillingham.

Fingers crossed it is just 4 weeks & doesn't bother him after that. To important for this team..also wanna see him have a shot at making WJCs .
