NHL News: Brendan Shanahan to return to the Devils

Come on – the man was a pimp, no doubt. ;)

Detroit could have used him for a year or two again. Oh well, Holland is going with the no-name kids next year.

we need a veteran in the locker room, a proven leader, a big left wing on the third line,hmmm, what else …ohh yeah this old guy will be all of that to your team while keeping guys like avery and brashear in check.

ok shanny go for 30 this year and score more than a guy named ..what was it ohh…zherdev, a guy who gets more press than a dry cleaners in chinatown. Show everyone(sather) you still got it and show why gms should gamble A YEAR on old proven leaders rather than gamble SIX YEARS on second pair defensemen. go shanny.

Plus, let’s not forget that Lemaire is back coaching this team, and in his 12 years of coaching, players have scored 30 goals 12 times, and 6 of them were Marian Gaborik.

glad for the Rangers not getting tempted.

He was my 8 year old’s favorite, may still be, but we’re both glad he’s not a Ranger.

30 is a reach i no, but where is dubz, cally, anisimov, lisin, staal, girardi, boyle, byers, and two rook dmen, turn to for advice or guidance… the coach who got thrown out of a game, avery…, brashear(why is orr gone), drury, higgins, and kotalik are really quiet when it comes to the media, i could only imagine what their like in the locker room. gaborik ? who knows and lundvquist is a goalie, no goalie should ever have to worry about anything other than the pipes he guards. i didnt leave out any one i think …rozy….red…….
no i covered all bases. we have great team don’t get me wrong, i just think we have a glaring hole in leadership which shanny could’ve, no, should’ve filled.

I love him….we should have hire him as a second assistant coach.
