That line just sounds like it is getting hemmed in or getting into penalty trouble. Granted the 4th line is already like that so...

If Sabourin plays, he'll get like 3 min of ice time. so addition by subtraction really.

So then the Sharks are helping the Barracuda make the playoffs and have as good a season as possible. lol

Opposing teams will laugh themselves silly seeing those three try and connect a pass together.
Imagine being a defenseman on a 2-on-1 all tense and ready to make a play until you notice it's Goodrow and Sabourin. I would literally die of laughter right there on the ice.
One of those guys in the lineup is fine. Three is malpractice.

Who cares about connecting a pass? I just want them to hurt opposing players.
Some of you have absurd ideas about what a 4th line should look like on a rebuilding team.

Can't hit them if you can't catch them.
I believe in having a hard-nosed, grinding 4th line. I also believe in those 4th liners being real NHLers. Kevin Stenlund is everything you described and also is a very solid hockey player. You can't just toss three big dudes out there can call it a fourth line.
Hell, Kunin and Goodrow aren't even very big.

We don't have Kevin Stenlund and it makes no sense to give up assets to get a player like that so we claimed Duehr and called up Sabourin for some much needed size and physicality. It's not like anyone else on the Barracuda deserves to be called up anyway, especially since our top six should be set in stone right now.

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.

I don't see the reason for a 4th line needing to be some grinder line, all 4 should be playing hard nosed hockey

I miss Torrey Mitchell.
No I don't. I got sooo tired of hearing how fast Torrey Mitchell was as he did nothing with the puck again and again.

What are you talking about? They'll skate circles around that line all day every day

yea but then he would score a major highlight goal at a critical time in a great game and all would be forgotten

Interesting that Askarov is getting consecutive starts. Operation Tank With Georgiev considered complete and successful?
I just think it was a way to get him one last game before the AHL All Star Break. He will most likely be down for good after tomorrow.

I mean he deserves it since he won his last game but nothing there says he starts, just that he "plays".
The wife bought us tickets to the game and flights to Seattle as a birthday present for me, so that reason alone means 4giev gets the start

Good point. Read too much into "plays."I mean he deserves it since he won his last game but nothing there says he starts, just that he "plays".

My daughter and her husband bought tickets for the Florida game. Says she has never seen the Sharks win when she's been in attendance.
