Sarnia Sting 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part II

[robp1219]

Absolute insanity man. Every goddamn night. I don't care Edwards is a rookie HE IS YOUR LEADING GOAL SCORER. Hall has ONE GOAL this season. ONE. He's on line 3 over Karimov & Edwards. He completely took Di Iorio/Manza out of the game tonight with that brain box of a decision.

One of the biggest reasons this team has fallen off is their veteran Fs have disappeared & his brilliant mind decides to put all 3 together & make it our 1st line. All three probably played 20-25 minutes. Including our 1st OT line being 12-11-5 & our 2nd being 25-40-13.

HOW is Brown not one of our first Fs over the boards in OT? He leads the team in points since DEC 1. He set up the OT winner vs WSR. He was BY FAR our best F tonight. Di Ioiro & Edwards have consistently been two of our most productive players & they don't see the ice in OT.

They are now 4-12 in OT/SO. Worst in the OHL to go with the worst special teams in the OHL.

Garbage. Garbage. Garbage.

Letang has to be mentally challenged, both of our OA’s and 19 year old forwards are not that skilled, if you put wainwright, filak and Doucette on a top 6 contending team all 3 would be 4th liners maybe 3rd liners at best depending on the team. None of them are very skilled. Our 16 and 17 year old forwards are our best and most skilled players, and they score the most so f***ing play them! Also they are our future and need to develop so again f***ing play them!!!! Gosh he’s so damn dumb. Put his son on the bench for all I care, he might be better at running this team than his old man.

dang... I didn't watch tonight but Doucette and Filak have been the worst buzz playersin the last 2 months or so.... Doucette has 2 goals in his last 17 games but Letang keeps tossing him out there over Edwards Di Lorio Karimov... who have all been much better. Imagine being Edwards... you decided to give up the NCAA dream, for now, and come to Sarnia... you lead the team in goals... and you can't sniff the ice in the final minutes over some of the worst 3rd and 4th year guys in the ohl. I wonder if he has any regrets... I would. Thanks Letang.

I think manza is 100% gone to Ohio state next season, and very good chance karimov stays in Russia. After this god aweful display of coaching and terrible management and. development of our young skilled players this year.

It sucks a pretty solid effort goes by the wayside tonight. Kitchener definitely came out rather disinterested, but Sarnia played harder than they have in awhile. did a good job keeping KIT to the outside even when they eventually found their game.

Brown-Beamish-Luecke were awesome I thought. Brown was easily our best F. Luecke had a strong game in an elevated role which he's done before. He's a guy im so intrigued by. Hurt-Fischer were excellent together & Fischer scored once again to give him 15G in only 40 games.

It's just so frustrating leaving so many games sour about how things were handled/coached. I'm dumbfounded Edwards played so little tonight. Hall on L3? In what world does that make sense. Every time they go cold Letang's immediate thought is Karimov to L4 & I cant imagine how depressing, frustrating, confusing that probably is for Ruslan. He benches the U17s constantly but never holds his 19s/20s accountable.

I hate that I sat thru most of tonights game pissed off & didn't enjoy any of it. Makes cheering & watching your team a not so fun experience. Very disappointing to be back in a spot where I'm on the fence of cheering for them to win or rooting for them to lose & miss for a T4 pick & so they avoid LDN..

Season very likely comes down to the next 7 days. GUE/GUE/FLT. 3-0 & they probably lock in a spot. 2-1 & they are in the driver seat to make it. 0-3 or 1-2 & they will be in big trouble for making it. See if tonight was a sign they will play better, or if it was entirely KIT not showing up.
