ELBOW ROOM

Prust hits Volchenkov with dirty elbow

Brendan Shanahan has another suspension and fine to handout after today’s New York Rangers 3-0 win over the New Jersey Devils in the Eastern Conference Finals. Watch as Brandon Prust delivers a vicious, unprovoked, unnecessary elbow to the back of the head of Anton Volchenkov. There has been a lot of cheap shots this postseason, [...]

Flyers fans unhinged - Shanahan is the reason the Flyers lost series

I don’t like to use acceptable and coarse language on my blog but some of this stuff needs to be exposed because I think this type of "anti-social" behavior is unacceptable and almost as bad as some of the racial epithets that were posted on line after the Joel Ward goal. Yesterday I illustrated lack of class by some Flyers fans – I know that there were...

Classy fan posts to Brendan Shanahan - No there not fakes

There are fans that just take it too far – rewind to game seven between the Boston Bruins and the Washington Capitals – as soon as Joel Ward scored the game winning goal against the Boston Bruins racist tweets started showing up on twitter. Fast forward to May 7th 2012 the National Hockey league suspended Philadelphia Flyers forward Claude Giroux one game for his...

Brendan Shanahan is cool enough to pose for a pic with a “Shanahan You Suck!” sign

Give the guy credit, not everyone would be cool with this. You may not agree with the way he doles out suspensions and fines, but you have to admit that Brendan Shanahan, the NHL’s head disciplinarian, does have the ability to laugh at himself.  On the flip side, maybe his smile is saying “once this photoshoot is done with I’m totally going to hand your ass to...

PHOTO: Brendan Shanahan Takes Picture With Critic

It is a good thing that Brendan Shanahan has a good sense of humor.  The man in charge of discipline for the NHL has been under fire all throughout the playoffs for his suspension decisions.  There seems to be no rhyme or reason to them and it has led to a lot of angry fans. This New York Rangers fan falls into the angry category.  His sign lets everyone know how he feels about...

HATERS GONNA HATE

Shanahan has a sense of humor

Brendan Shanahan's gig as NHL disciplinarian has made him an unpopular man. But, as witnessed by a fan's photo, he seems to be taking it in stride.

Brendan Shanahan Must Enact Harsher Penalties to Prevent More Dirty Hits in Playoffs (Video)

This NHL postseason has already seen more suspensions, through half of the opening-round series, than we saw through the entire 2011 playoffs. Many of the suspensions were merited, and some even rather leniant for the crimes committed. Yet, the suspensions haven't done enough to take the dirty hits out of the game. NHL Disciplinary director Brendan Shanahan, is the one responsible...

Reasons for hope, worry after wild series start

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The national media and NHL disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan will spend the next two days examining Chicago forward Andrew Shaws blindside hit on Phoenix goalie Mike Smith behind the net in Game 2 of their Western Conference first-round series. Will Shaw be suspended or will his game misconduct on Saturday suffice? Did Smith produce a historic act of gamesmanship...

Maybe, Just Maybe, Shanahan Knew What He Was Doing

Afterall, Brendan Shanahan has been a part of the Wings locker room and he knows the main goal of that room is to win the game. Instead of suspending Shea Weber for a game, maybe Shanahan knew/felt the Wings would respond in a way to make Weber accountable for his actions and still force Weber to skate on egg shells for the rest of series. Back in his Detroit playing days, Shanahan...

Brendan Shanahan's First Season as NHL's Director of Player Safety Includes 44 Suspensions, Plenty of Debate (Videos)

Brendan Shanahan was a hot topic around the league during his first season as the NHL's senior vice president of player safety. Colin Campbell, who previously held the position, often made news himself, but Shanahan's tendency to rule with an iron fist immediately caught the attention of the league and the fans. In fact, Shanahan handed out nine suspensions before the regular...
