Now that Shelley is out, and the Sharks facing the physical Calgary Flames tonight (24th in PIMs), McLellan has decided to switch the lines around again.  Pavelski, either because of lack of production or the stated reason of it being “.. more a reflection on mixing people up.  But it also gives us what I’d like to think are three responsible centers,” will now be centering the third line between Plihal and Grier.

And the initial 2007 first line is back together again tonight- Jumbo, Cheech, and Michalek, with Marleau centering Clowe and Seto.  Maybe it’s time to shuffle the deck, but I have a feeling it’s a little more like rewarding Cheech for playing well, and reducing minutes for Pavs and Seto for being a bit off.

The other wobbly plate is Semenov, skating as a forward on the fourth line.  We’ll be recording the podcast tonight after the game, and I have a feeling we’ll have quite a bit to say about that.  If there are other issues you’d like us to discuss, feel free to drop us a line.

    Please tell me how the first period was all Semenov’s fault. Did they clone him and put 6 of them on the ice at once?

    That was a painful period of hockey to watch, nobody could do a single thing right. 17 minutes and 2 goals before we manage to get 1 shot on net? ugh…

    It was Seminov’s fault because, like zombies often do, he bit half the team and spread his virus.
