BRENDAN SHANAHAN RUMORS
49. Carolina Hurricanes @ Boston Bruins. The Return of Captain Planet
Brendan Shanahan is like the smog in FernGully. He tried his best to smother the Bruins lately, with either terrible suspensions or the lack of suspensions for questionable hits. Now, one of Shanahan's biggest Bruins atrocities was suspending Andrew Ference. That is probably the most homerish thing I've ever said, but it's true. A guy who has never been suspended and...

Grindin' Gears: Shanahan Is Consistently Inconsistent
When Brendan Shanahan took over as NHL Senior VP of Player Safety and Hockey Operations, many saw him as a white knight. He was the Harvey Dent of the NHL, the man in charge of changing everything that is wrong on the ice. Almost immediately I had an issue with naming a guy like Shanahan to such a position. Many applauded his career, his highlights and the awards in his trophy case...

This ‘Alternate Cut’ Of Brendan Shanahan’s Ovechkin Suspension Video Is A Hoot (Video)

“Shanahan Drops the Ball”
Yesterday, Brendan Shanahan certainly had an interesting day. He had 2 disciplinary hearings scheduled regarding 2 incidents in the same game. To make matters more interesting, the victim of one of the incidents was the transgressor in the other. The result of these hearings? Alexander Ovechkin suspended 3 games for charging Zbynek Michalek, while Michalek received no further...

Brendan Shanahan makes no sense, and we have a theory.
There is a reason we weren't jerking off about Brendan Shanahan like everyone else when he announced his new suspension plans.
Deryk Engelland, who had no history, got three games for his " illegal hit."
But Raffi Torres, who had prior history, got a mere fine for this vicious hit:
Are you serious?
We have a theory.
When a hit gets attention...

John Jaeckel: Brendan Shanahan: You're Failing
Mr. Shanahan:
Most hockey fans, writers and bloggers assume you are earnest and serious about removing head shots and other recklessly injurious play from the NHL.
But recent history and your track record begs the question: are you aware that there are more things that need to be done than after the fact conference calls and edicts by your office?
A lot of ideas have been...

Red Wings engage in different sort of visit with Brendan Shanahan
MLive’s Ansar Khan reports that the Red Wings visited with one Brendan Shanahan, former teammate of about a third of the Wings, to talk about something that doesn’t involve reminiscing old times:
The Detroit Red Wings are probably the last team Brendan Shanahan has to concern himself with when it comes to disciplinary matters, since they usually have the fewest fighting...

Shanahan: Sabres irresponsible for claim
Brendan Shanahan says he isn't presiding over a league where goalies have to worry about getting hit, and thinks it's ''irresponsible'' for the Buffalo Sabres to suggest otherwise.
The NHL's new disciplinarian reacted strongly to complaints from the Sabres on Monday after he elected not to suspend Bruins forward Milan Lucic for his collision with Buffalo...
