Sarnia Sting 2024 25 Season Thread Part Iii

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Gotta give it to this time they are freaking consistent! Even in a game this big for them they have an awful 2nd period where they go thru the motions. It's actually hilarious at this point.

What are the odds we see Doucette-wainwright-filak in the 3rd period?
 
Am I out to lunch for being completely puzzled as to why that Karimov goal didnt count?? Puck was never even remotely covered. Not even a review??

Now 3-1. That'll probably do it.
 
Well that one off game against Owen Sound would have been a fun thing

Never get your hopes up with these guys.

Thank god that's over... There is no doubt the players are happy this is over too.... Now were onto the fire Letang watch... If im the buzz I'd fire him tomorrow... If he's not fired soon you'd have to think he's back... The potential drafted players will want to know who their playing for no doubt... losing 5-2 in a do or die game vs a team playing for nothing is the players saying they want a change.... I cannot wait to hear the spin on this season... it will probably sound something like oh well we won 2 series' in 2023... A message needs to be sent that this is b.s.. lets see some emotion for once. Admit it's a failure, admit the coaching stinked... fire Letang and Jeffries. Sarnia needs to start raising the bar here... each year they fail they just laugh it off and promise things will get better - they never do. Sick of it tbh.
 
44 shots on net - 24 in the 3rd period - says your guys gave it all they had. Took this photo of your lads saying their goodbyes...

That would require Letang looking like he gives a damn.

The utter idiocy to start a rookie G over our OA in a must win, do or die game sure is looking good too.

How about juggle to put moses with Wainwright and Edward's who don't work how about manza 4th line.
Even changing 1 line is baffling after a good win over flint.
I'm sorry but if you guys can't see when we play A Soo team or any other team that is way better coached, taking guys out of line up that team can have a rookie call up even fill into any position to play same way. Glaringly obvious Letang Is the worst offensive coach/ defensive coach and game manager I've ever seen. No way do you play Maillet over Surzycia when he is coming off a solid win over flint on Friday. Just asinine DS needs to hold a press conference and announce coach fired before these players leave for summer. They need to know there is something better next year.
Doubt Letang realizes how bad of a coach he is. His Arrogance cause his players to quick on him in NOV
 
Wasn’t impressed with how fast the Sting coaching staff bolted off the bench to the room at the end of the game . Other than Jeffries who stuck around and gave a few pats on the back.

Also heard in the stands from Sting fans not impressed with the decision in net in a do or die game . I don’t know if it would have made a difference but not starting your OA goalie seems crazy to me.

Hope you have a better off season ! See you next season !
 
You know we've spent the last 3-4 weeks wanting to miss & being happy with losses & now that we've missed it really is a firm reminder of who we root for.

This is 3 out of 4 seasons where at seasons end we've been rooting for the team to lose. I'm not saying that as a shot as us more so at the team & myself really.. I thought they were heading in the right direction under Seca, Letang, Legwand etc, but I was very wrong.

It's a 10 team conference. They've missed 2 in a row & almost 3 out of 4. Thats embarrassing. Last year I didnt care because after 2023 a huge falloff was expected. Esp post deadline. This yr though? completely unacceptable & ppl need to be held accountable.

They added 2 elite 16 yr olds, their #1 C, #4 D from the BCHL + Karimov was a solid addition & their goaltending despite the #s was rather good most of the year + guys like Fischer, Young, Brown took big steps production wise

With all that they improved a remarkable 3 points..... 3.... That feels almost impossible with how awful last years team was with guys like Way playing top minutes.

This team I clearly overrated to begin with, but nobody can convince me they shouldn't of been a playoff team. Especially exiting January when they were playing great hockey & were substantially closer to 5th than 9th.

The coaches of this hockey team should be fired & I don't think its arguable/debatable. you cant preach accountability as an org & not hold the coaches accountable after failing these kids & the fans.

I could go on for hours & I probably will this week lol, but ill leave it at that for now.

Wish being on here was a bit more fun this year. We were doom & gloom for half the season thanks to the on ice product sadly. Still enjoy talking hockey with yall & hope u enjoy the off season! Cheers!

I’d fire all three and bring in a whole new staff. Embarrassing watching these coaches ruin young kids dream of being drafted in the first few rounds or being drafted at all when they have the skill and determination to be, very poor development skills and player management in games by the coaching staff. Ya I’d imagine they are fired this week, they won’t have a new coach before the draft. If Letang is still an owner next season I hope he is head coach and gets two good assistants capable of coaching specials teams and good at developing players. If not hire Dale Mitchell and his staff.

Coaches probably bolted because they will be gone next week, or atleast should be.

With the Greyhounds sitting out two top forwards, two top defencemen and their starting goalie I thought the Sting were going to have a good chance of winning such an important game. Not the case!

im going to assume you mis-spoke when you said Letang is an owner? Unless I missed something.
