Why are OAs that can't get drafted at a prospects game? Very confused by this.
Yah I didn't agree with OAs being in it. Especially when guys are committing to NCAA.

How does Glavin make the prospect game but guys like Singh and Jenken in GUE don't.
Yah, not sure how he got invited lol. He's an OK D but certainly not one of the 12 best eligible/OA D in the league lol.

I don't like the OA's in the prospects game either. Should be first-time draft eligible players for the most part. I'm OK with them having 2 or 3 re-entry candidates who are having a big year like Anthony Romani last season. Good to see the players are taking the game seriously. I wasn't expecting the two fights lol

I'm sure Brampton just LOVED seeing Martone fighting lmao.

I wasn't a fan of having the game honestly, but it's been a great game so far. Been really physical and chippy.

I hope Sarnia sends Chamberlain down once Hall's suspension (assuming he gets one) is done. They'll have 14Fs & my guess is Letang will wanna go back to L4 being a physical line with Franceschetti/Moses/Luecke/Hall.

Chamberlain will be sitting most nights. Don't need that. He's looked a step behind since returning as well. Get him down to Strathroy to play T6, PP, PK.
 
Nope..sold his share few years ago. Was never reported for whatever reason.
Gotcha. Went to my first game since before the pandemic on New Years Day with my family, was surprised that he was no where to be found. His kid played for the team and he was coaching for a while, never seemed like either of those worked out.

Tough one today vs Sudbury who bought pretty heavily at the deadline last week. Not many teams can throw out the firepower they can. Sarnia will have to be on point defensively to keep this one close. If they don't they can fill the net & in a hurry. Really need the top-4 to be at their best vs Musty/Villeneuve/Walton.

Doucette & Francescehtti can return & Manza will be making his debut. Excited to see how he looks & where they have him in the lineup.
 
Same lines but with few tweaks
Beamish Filak Brown
Wainwright Di iorio Manza
Doucette Edwards Karimov
Franchesschetti Moses Lueke

Same D.

Hoping to see a new updated PK from Matsos with alot more pressure using speed on PK

Also looking for some personelle changes on the PP and alot more Down low play on PP not just WEAK defense top shots (we don't have a D with a dangerous shot-stop wasting opportunity)
 
Brown-Beamish-Filak
Wainwright-Di Iorio-Manza
Karimov-Edwards-Doucette
Luecke-Hall-Moses

Fischer-Young
Hurt-Bodin
O'Brien-Bridgewater

Surzycia

Love the top 9. That's 3 legit lines.

Why..... Is he splitting up 6-72. They've been tremendous together and the one other time he did it they got obliterated in LDN. He can't leave it alone. Drives me nuts.
 
Surzycia starts which i disagree with. Maillet got the W last time we played Sudbury and he just had a good outing Saturday. Manza L2 with Di Iorio and Wainwright. And Hurt and O'Brien switched up which makes 0 sense to me.

Putting Hurt with Bodin makes the move 10x worse too. We know that those two don't work together. Neither moves the puck well enough for them to play with each other. They have O'Brien with Barr on the third pair on the OHL website. I don't like that Letang keeps scratching Bridgewater against good teams. Weird move too after he saw a good chunk of ice time on Saturday in Erie

It is not about making sense for the fans. It is about learning to play with each others, never know when an occasion will arise, a player gets hurt and the two will be teamed up together. Might as well getting familiarized now, Hunter in London, mixed his lines all the time, so he knows what's the best combination against what team.

Yah I read that last pair wrong.. definitely dislike putting Barr over Bridgewater. You could argue 43 has been their 3rd most consistent D behind 5/13. He's been very solid on the 3rd pair.

Totally agree on 72-9. We saw it in LDN. They get destroyed because Bodin doesn't have the foot speed & as u said neither moves it as a high level.

Just so stupid to tinker when the team has been playing so well. Let alone vs a lethal Sudbury team.

I don't disagree, but there's a time & place & with hunter it helps a lot that they are better than everyone else lol.

Sarnia isn't 4-5 deep on D with elite prospects/drafted players. Splitting it up just makes the 2nd pair weaker.

London has built their team, and continued to work at keeping it at the high level every year. Sarnia can do the same, the problems for so many teams, when they have a decent team, they go all out emptying their cupboards and trades their young up-and-coming young stars players. Leaving nothing for the next two or three years, for a rebuilding period, it is what Sarnia is experiencing now, in their second year of a rebuilding

Solid period! Sudbury looks horrid..Jesus. Fischer is feeling it tonight! 2 absolute snipes.
He looks really good tonight. Big block on the PK, nice hit behind the net, and his puck movement has been crisp in addition to the two goals. The Sting need to be more disciplined in the last two periods. PK was great but you can't rely on that forever
 
Not what I was expecting but I’ll certainly take it! How has Manza looked? Listening to radio broadcast tonight and haven’t heard him mentioned much.
 
I haven't seen a team play this bad in a long line time. Holy cow. Sudbury looks as disorganized, undisciplined, lackadaisical as I've seen.

So naturally Sarnia will lose this game 5-4.

How many people that participate on this page are actual STH , as a STH over 25 yrs for two tickets it has cost me around $ 20,000 at an average of aprox $ 850 a year and not one championship to show for it.
on and off over the years for me... I'll get them... the team will suck and I think to myself wow what a waste of money lol .... but knowing you're probably one of a handful of people who have been a sth for over 25 years .... imagine how good a championship will feel.
