Sarnia Sting 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part I

A line juggle isnt coaching. Chemistry is constant, knowing linemates and it takes time not 3 shifts. Moses I'm sorry doesnt deserve 1st line minutes no way
If we had a coach players would play hard every shift go to battle for him. I dont see it, we play slow we dont move puck while other team is scrambling our D brings pick back to allow good teams to set up their forechecks, we allow teams to pressure us, out 1st pass is U18 quality. D creates offense with quick ups stretches on turnovers 1st pass by our D is worst in league. I think Lerang being a D would have knowledge to catch teams we are passive we are soft and we are worse than last year with more experience,is that Letang's goal and vision cause I'm impressed how bad he is making this team look.. skill or not a team can be coached ro compete, to outwork teams to always be in any game to play with passion besides a few we have no heart wedont play for guy beside you in room we are playing for ourselves

What is Peterborough beat us? Then what is it staff then?

I'm at least glad letang did the media today. As @JAMER said he hasn't been doing it much this year & with where this team is right now if he sent out 2 players I would've been really annoyed by that.

But some of those answers weren't it for me. Tired of him saying "we don't have that star talent" or "we need more from certain guys" like you're the coach. GET IT from those guys. Other teams & coaches are getting it from less talented players than Brown, Kostuch, Karimov, Barr.

Have some accountability. Say my staff & I need to do better. We need to guide these kids in the right direction. We need to get them going for start of games. We need to do extra work to fix the PP. Don't just pin it on them. Even if you feel it's on them put it on yourself & the assistants.

This is a big week for Letang. If this team stinks it up next weekend I think a lot of Sting fans will be thinking how you guys are. Can't miss the playoffs again. No way.

Just finished watching the Letang presser. Pretty disappointed that he put all the blame on the players like wtf. Your the coach of the 2nd youngest team take some responsibility. You have the worst PP and one of the worst PKs it's not all the kids fault. I have a hard time thinking that these guys are going to wanna play for a coach that dumps on them like that. Also we're 1-10 in are last 11 why is Letang not more upset.

Not to change subjects but just tweeted this & thought I'd put it here too. This has been something I'm sure ppl have picked up on with me this season lol, but I really do think this league has an issue with the stripes.

That Filak "hook" was absurdly soft today. That Andersen "charge" was a perfect hit. They even had to talk about it because they didn't know what to call it. Just saw a big hit & wanted to call it. They missed a blatant cross check to the face by Young. Filak clean hit and then gets dumped by Andonovski - no call. Minute later Filak does it back - called.

Then the rest of the game guys were giving cheap slashes and punches and they just watched it. Easiest way for a game to get totally out of hand. Not to mention these fricken reviews are getting ridiculous. Games are taking nearly 3 hours..

It ain't just our games either. Been watching a lot of the league this yr and I've been dumbfounded all season by calls made & missed. Really ruining the product IMO.

lol my last post about Letang but he also had those interview vibes during the world jrs ... I forget his exact quote but it was something like the team got lucky bounces last year and didnt this year... which isnt bad but still imo not the right thing to say. I honestly feel like Letang would learn a lot if he came on this forum and read some posts.... makes me think no one in the organization is speaking to him about stuff. Imagine being Seca and making trades for Kostuch and drafting Karimov all to see them buried in the lineup... If im Letang I start tinkering with 4 forwards on the power play.. its bizarre he tinkers with the lineup 247 but doesnt touch the on ice strategy what-so-ever.
