Sarnia Sting 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part I

[stinger94]

I'm hoping to finish 6-7 in the west. As for playoffs I'm hoping to be a tough out in round 1 maybe take it to 6 games.

At this point, this seems incredibly optimistic to me.

Kind of feels like we will battle for 8 seed at best. I don’t see us taking a game off of London in the playoffs, they are just so good.

No Young again same lines and Surzycia starts.

keep together lines that didn't gel except for doucette line awesome decision.
I'm sure usual jiggle in 2nd period and sit 4th in 3rd.

About what I expected. Hanging in there tho. Barrie just so good and deep.

Pretty solid first period. Barrie had one 2-3 minute segment where they really controlled play but outside of that it wasn't too bad. Another o-zone turnover cost them on the goal. I wish Brown could have buried his 2-on-1 chance. He needed that one

Barrie is straight up just a far better team than us & they are showing it. Reminds me of us 2 years ago. Bigger, faster, stronger then us in every area.

They are trying simply can't hang. I'd put Maillet in for the 3rd. Give Nick some rest.

Agreed to all of the above. They have to do something about the PP. You get a 5-on-3 down 2-0 and it's a chance to get back in the game. Instead it kills any chance of a comeback by only getting one shot and were barely set up in the zone. This team lacks effort and energy. Perfect example was the fourth goal. Jelsma beats out an icing and is allowed to wheel around the o-zone and set up Passmore. No forecheck either and no response to Barrie's physical play including the knee and slash on Wainwright
