Sarnia Sting 2024 25 Season Thread Part Iii

Never seen or heard of the kid before right now, but sign me up for him to be our import pick, haha!

If we are gonna have a giant dcore may as well have some 6'6/6'7 goalie!

There is only three 2008 born goalies in the tournament Felix Timraz-Westin another one is 6’3 Samuel Hrenik from Slovakia he didn’t play the first game so he might be the backup but his numbers in Slovakia are really good. The other 2008 goalie is 5’9 Olivers Freimanis from Norway who is the backup to Timraz-Westin. Timraz-Westin and Hrenik would both be solid options if they are open to coming here. Also Jack Nesbitt and Tyler Hopkins are now joining the Canadian U18 team, Di Iorio could lose a lot of minutes and possibly be a healthy scratch or made an alternate now.

'everyone needs to be better but me' surely would be his quote down 0-3.

Canada has officially announced the u18 roster. And both Edwards and Di Iorio have made it.

Di Iorio and Edwards are the only 2008 born Fs to make the team. What a great accomplishment for them. Even if they don't play a ton it'll be great experience and it's a great sign for them moving forward for making Canada at these tournaments.

Seen some "early mocks" and most have Di Iorio as a 1st & Edwards as a late 1st/early 2nd. Hopefully by next year's draft both are sure fire 1st rounders!

I honestly think that's what bothered me the most this season.

I'm sure at some point it was said, but I honestly can't remember Letang or Jeffries saying "that's on me/us, it's on me as a coach" etc.

Especially when it came to the really poor stretches & their atrocious special teams.

Perfect example is when Moses & I wanna say Filak said after a game that their practice had really dipped/fallen off compared to what it was in January.

Sure the players deserve blame, but that's on the staff. How the hell does the practice fall off late in the year in a playoff race?

OHL might be moving to OA goalies not counting against the 3 OA spots.

I like the change with how much longer goalies can take to develop.

Liking these changes (3 imports the other) that are going thru potentially.

I've seen more energy from a corpse than Letang so im not surprised intensity in practice went down hill. No doubt that was Filak taking a shot at Letang when he said that. I know it's a long ways away but im anxious to see the first 10-20 ish games of next year... I wonder what would happen if the team comes out flat which honestly I can see happening... Interesting we didn't draft Legwands kid.. I dont think he was drafted at all.

He isn't good enough sadly. David takes me as someone who'd want him to earn it and he didn't.

Wonder what the holdup is with announcing the ownership shift. Figured be announced by now. Maybe around rookie camp (may 29 / 30)
