The Sharks took some time to get into the game on Saturday, which makes sense given the five days off before the game against the Vancouver Canucks. It turns out the only team in British Columbia is bad at ice hockey this year, so it didn’t much matter which version of the Sharks showed up.
It’s a good thing, too, because head coach Pete DeBoer turned in a doozy of a lineup. Let’s take a look.
Kevin Labanc - Joe Thornton - Joe Pavelski
Mikkel Boedker - Logan Couture - Patrick Marleau
Chris Tierney - Tomas Hertl - Joel Ward
Barclay Goodrow - Micheal Haley - Melker Karlsson
Okay, so maybe that’s a little harsh.
