Jared Ross was sent back to the Phantoms. That means Briere will play against the Canucks.

-- via Tim Panaccio's turn to write about John Stevens' job.

This also means ~~Riley Cote will play his 'gasp' third straight game~~ Jon Kalinski will likely center the fourth line.

Needless to say, I am not pleased with this.

Broad Street Hockey - Makin' it look mean since 1967.

Why the hell would Ross be going down if Briere’s coming back? Is Stevens’ latest shakeup to use Briere as center (which is what he’s paid $6.5m to be…), relegate Giroux to right wing (or fourth line center) and then talk non-stop about how he wants to use Giroux as a top line center?

Haha, nevermind. Completely forgot about Kalinski.

I don’t think Riley Cote will play this game, because the lineups will look something like:

Line One
LW Scott Hartnell
C Jeff Carter
RW Claude Giroux

Line Two
LW James van Riemsdyk
C Mike Richards "C"
RW Danny Briere

Line Three
LW Daniel Carcillo
C Mika Pyorala
RW Ian Laperriere

Line Four
LW Andreas Nodl
C Jonathon Kalinski
RW Arron Asham
