I just love how some commenters know what has been said or not said between Sather and Shanahan. My assumption is that there must be some kind of communication of a good sort, seeing how Shanahan has been so patient. There may also be some kind of a trade possible which would really make things develope.

just out of curiosity…

how long has it been since roenick/sakic/sundin won a cup? pre-lockout? thought so… 2002? its a different game now… and lets not forget the last time shanny won a cup he was 33. hes broken 80 points once in the last decade… love the guy to death, and like jagr and marty, i appreciate everything they did, making this organization better and putting them back towards the top, but it’s time to move on. If he signs somewhere else hell get a nice hearty ovation from the “Garden Faithful”, but I just don’t see him fitting this system. I don’t think that bum knee can move him fast enough

The game was so much more fun to watch in the 80’s and the early 90’s. There was lots of offense lots of hitting lots of fighting and the goalies looked like human beings instead of sofa cushions with all the equiment. Coaches let their players be creative and not fall into this ridiculous Devils like defensive shell. So many games look the same because almost every coaches preaches defense to almost a fault. Don’t take chances and players that at times do have alot of their creativity taken away. With the talent level spread so thin coaches to survive fall back into that stay back and trap type systems. Look at some of the scores of those 7 game series the Rangers and Devs played in ‘92. The finish of that 92 season sucked and blew but looked at all the offense 7 or 8 guys scoring 20+ goals. So many players today wouldn’t be playing in the league 15 years ago. Due to all the expansion well they are. I miss run and guin Hockey alot. These days the #1 goal is try to make sure your goalie faces less than 20 shots a game. The Caps are really one of the few teams that will play an up and down type of firewagon Hockey. One of the main reasons is because they have a kid that can score 70 goals. The Red Wings are a puck possesioon team that never stops attacking obviously they’ve got the best dman around and an elite forwards crop which surely helps. Just saying the game was so much more entertaining back then.

I agree with true blue. Time to move on from Shanny. He is old and slow. He also retards the development of some young guys. His production has been great the first 6 weeks of each season and then his play goes down dramatically. He doesn’t hit or fight he isn’t strong along the boards anymore. Give Voros more icetime. Hell he might be our Darren McCarthy… you never know.Give Fritcshe a look. See if Dawes and or Prucha can find their footing. Save some money to make a trade for an impact forward at the deadline(who is not past his prime) Who knows maybe you can trade for a guy that can make an impact on your second or third line like a Colby Armstrong. I suggest Shanny’s production will slip even more if he plays this year. I rather give Cally pp time and pk time and see if he can be a 20 goal guy rather than just bring Shanny back. You can’t find out about the kids if you don’t play them. I wish the team would play a more offensive sysztem but Renney is another defense first coach(not a criticsm so much as a comment on how the game is played) I think you saw how the Rangers took their feet off the gas and collapsed into a defensive shell in the third.

The Red Wings don’t have interest in Shanny I don’t think . They are ridiculously deep at forward. They have some young talented players that aren’t making the team because of said depth. Their third line(Cleary-Fillpula-Samuelsson) is better than most teams second line.

DERF – it’s about the cap also. Shanny does not come cheap he’ll want say $ 3 mm. and we are already against the cap max. and i assume you watched the 2nd half of the last 2 yrs. that is when he did his worst and was already heading in that direction before the concussion and knee injury. old guys get hurt more often and take longer to heal.

I am thinking again come 2009 he will be fading again and by playoff time again be the weakest 2 way player on the ice. and he doesn’t have Hollweg on the team to be weaker than hiim.

I agree everyone is too enamored with the young guys.

Granted they’ll all put in goals, and get points (not first line points like you mentioned) but what other player of the ones you named can DEFINITELY at a minimum put up 25 goals?

N O N E

Well know by Friday one way or the other what Shanny’s doing
