08:23 AM ET 07.11 | One day after formally introducing Larry Robinson as an associate coach to work on Todd McLellan's staff, the Sharks have hired Jim Johnson as an assistant coach and relieved Matt Shaw of his duties. Johnson joins the Sharks after spending last season with the Washington Capitals, where he was an assistant to Dale Hunter. ... Shaw spent the previous three seasons as an assistant with the Sharks. Prior to that, he coached with McLellan in the Minnesota organization with the AHL's Houston Aeros from 2001-05. "We've decided as an organization to go a different direction. That's not a reflection on Matt's ability," McLellan said. "He's a tremendous coach and I think we'll see him pop up in the National Hockey League very quickly."

So this is like a Tom Renney-Pat Quinn sitch, right? Have fun with that, Todd.

Todd is just one skate stride away from losing his job.

Well, he got on a plane, but that's not important right now.

Shakeup in San Jose? They call that a shakeup? If they traded softy Joe and half the team and replaced them with players who have a heart beat, maybe then we can start talking about a shakeup.

Just wait for the inevitable "We're going to go deep in the playoffs this year" threads.
