Sarnia Sting 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part II

[StingUpdates]

Didn't like tying goal for Surzycia. Hated OT goal for Fischer. Bad penalties again.

But this is a total team failure. They were being outshot 10-1 & 16-6 in the first. Vs Guelph. The last place team in the west. After losing to PBO. That's a joke.

Allowed 40 shots vs the least skilled team in the conference. Blew yet another 2 goal 3rd period lead which has to be there 4th or 5th in the last 25 games.

I know it's a young team. They'll make young mistakes. But that's not what this is. They've looked damn good vs KIT SAG WSR (outside last week) LDN BRNT ER SBY in the last month+.

Then vs PBO OS x2 GUE they've played horrific hockey. That's on the coach. That's on the veteran leadership for not keeping the entire team accountable & getting them to face every team the same.

They've pissed away any chance at 5th. I have very little hope in 6th now. They are gonna lose tomorrow, Monday & against WSR again next week. That'll be 6Ls our of 7 with SSM Saturday & who's to say they win that.

If they don't wake the F up OS will be on their heels and this team could choke away a playoff spot & hoo boy would that be a sick joke & one that better cost Letang his job.

Also, that 4on3 PP in OT is a damn near fireable offense in its own right.

It's goddamn pathetic watching this PP every night. We just played PBO & GUE. Two teams totally rebuilding that lack talent (not saying we don't, we do) & the PPs were night & day better than ours.

We can't string together passes. We don't go down low..we don't use the bumper. We don't use the screen. We tee up Fischer & pray it works.

12% is a sick joke. Worst in the CHL. And that's coaching. Jeffrey better not be back next year.

Tying goal was on O'brien second late reading the wrap around and was on wrong side of net. Been worried about his play of late. But Surzycia has ro have that plus McGuire cant score there and sure as hell wainwright needs to will that puck in in OT Breakaway(should have been penalty on Namesnikov) but hey Fischer cant get walked in OT especially when its McGuire but being tired affects decisions and adjusting to speed. McGuire blee by Fischer like he was pavel bure

Jeffery is bad, shown that all year. How is he still here. But Letangs buddy is safe as long as Letang is. They leave together day after last game. And problem with PP has been all year Fischer is not a quick thinking play making quarterback D. Just stupid Brisgewater isn't given a chance. Fischer is solid D but Defensive not offensive D. Huge issue with pp

This has been a hugely disappointing stretch. These losses against GUE, OS, and PBO are going to hurt them in the playoff race.

The Sting have lost their identity. When they were winning, the team was a pain in the behind to play against because they were physical and played great team defence. Guelph was playing with four d-men and the Sting were playing a run and gun style against them. The team should have been playing a hard-nosed game. Franceschetti and Moses should be hitting everything that moves to wear Guelph's thin defence down. I saw none of that from them. I wish the Sting had Luecke tonight. Losing his consistent physical presence has been a bigger issue than I thought it would be.

I think tomorrow might be a time to shakeup the lines to send a message. Brown-Beamish-Filak has been quiet in this stretch. All the other lines haven't found great chemisry. Also please stop going with 11F/7D. The forwards are never able to find their footing because they're constantly playing with different linemates.

They need to have a better effort tomorrow against Windsor. I don't want them heading into a big game against the Soo on Saturday with no confidence
