Sarnia Sting 2024 25 Season Thread Part Iii

Sucks to be view it this way, but I am in the same boat.

If I had to guess we finish 8th lol.

OS - @ BAR, KIT & vs GUE.

SSM - @ SBY, vs SAG & SAR.

SAR - @ WSR, vs FLT, @ SSM.

Just have to lose out and hope Owen sound beats Guelph lol. I really hope we don’t finish 8th. Preferably i hope we finish 9th if not then 7th. But I have a feeling it’s likely 8th.

Well Letang should be back that should help things! Lol I'm sure a few line changes after 2 good efforts isn't that the norm.
Think Maillet goes against Windsor and then Surzycia gets Friday OA home game.
I'm hoping to see Simpson again before season ends

8th would be the worst-case scenario. I know people don't agree with me but I want them to finish 7th. The young guys need to learn how to play playoff hockey. Windsor is a very tough hockey team but I think the Sting would be able to play a tight game or two against them. Seeing the level that top players like Greentree and Protas play on a night-to-night basis would be good for the rookies (especially Di Iorio and Edwards). If they lose to WSR & FLT, I'd want them to lose on Sunday. Until then, I'll be cheering for them to win because I think missing the playoffs back-to-back years will create bad habits next season

It's tough. Ive said before not wanting to make it is partly for selfish reasons. I don't wanna watch London run all over us, be cocky about it (they'll have a right to be) & hear how awful Sarnia is etc. Just not a fun week whatsoever.

As ive also said I struggle to see what they'll take from games that'll be over by the midway point of every game. I agree vs WSR it's more likely they hang in there, but at the same time the Sting team that's been playing most nights as of late will get obliterated by a team that talented.

Another week feels like a joke honestly when they've been this bad for this long. But you aren't wrong b2b misses isn't good for guys like Brown Hurt Barr who'd suffer thru b2b non playoff years & guys like Di Iorio Edwards Beamish Karimov Manza wouldn't get to experience the difference in emotion & level of play it brings.

No matter what I view the season as an embarrassment so I'd prefer leaving it at least feeling like we got something (a top 1, 2, 3, 4 pick) opposed to 4 lopsided playoff games.

If they go out their & earn it fair play & good on them, but id be lying if I said I wasn't going into the weekend wanting to come 9th.

who knows at this point with the goalies. it's been so mishandled I could see either guy going all 3 games lmao.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) Simpson is in GOJHL playoffs with Cambridge. So he isn't available at least for another week. would've liked to see him again too.

Honestly looking forward to this all to end, don't think we deserve the playoffs and just be another 2 playoff games at home, we would have to pay for. More gate revenue for Legwand before he sells team to a local passionate guy/group. I vote for 9th!

Good F*cking god this interview is as bad as it gets. Feels like he's speaking directly to us LOL.

The LAST thing I wanna read is this has been a positive season, there are good things etc..

Alarming on so many levels.

Only fun thing is the last part. Seems to really indicate they will be signing a few of their draft picks from recent years that are BCHL/USHL.

haha when I read this last week I almost spit out my coffee. I was coming on here all hot and horny ready to rip Seca a new one but thankfully the boards were down and I've since cooled off lmao. But holy crap, what a delusional man. How do you even make comments such as that? I get it if you had some sort of valid evidence to back up statements like that but this team has done absolutely nothing to validate the comments Seca made. Please name me one thing this organization can hang it's hat on and deem an accomplishment from this season? You couldn't be more right about Seca sounding like a politician, that's exactly what this little interview was. Beat around the bush but never address the dire issues head on. This is what you do when you don't have a solution to the problem.

Really was hoping Seca wasn't one of those "I'll die on this hill" before he admits he's wrong type of guys but that interview really hurts his credibility. Zero self reflection or accountability from management and staff.

I'm not sure I see any good to come from this team making the playoffs so I'm all for continuing the trend of shit hockey for the next 3 games to ensure that. We've said this many times over the years, but just get to the off season, fix the coaching issues, hope for at least a top 2 pick in the draft and try again next year. This will go down as one of the worst seasons I've witnessed in my time as a Sting fan.
