I wish him all the best in retirement... and a healthy and happy future with Craig Janney's wife.

Wow.

I knew he was going to retire after this year, but it’s still weird to not have anyone from those powerhouse Blues teams of the early 90s in the league anymore. When I was a little kid, I fell in love with CuJo, Janney, Shanahan, Hull, Oates, Jeff Brown, and the other guys that played here. I’ve always had a soft spot for the guys who played on the club back then, and Shanny retiring is officially the end of my hockey childhood (unless you count being annoyed that Chelios exists, then that’s still there).

I remember a game a few years ago, when Shanny was on the Rangers, here at Philips. It was Tobias Enstrom’s rookie year, and he was a target for everyone on the ice – he’s about 3 feet tall. Someone creamed Toby into the boards, and he crumpled to a heap, and didn’t get up. Brendan Shanahan was the only player on the ice to stand over there and make sure that he got up all right. That, right there, is the definition of class. There aren’t a lot of players of that old school left, and the league is poorer without him. Here’s hoping one of his teams finds him a place in their office. Well, ok… any of his teams but Detroit.

Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?

Paul McCartney: We`re going to start a campaign to stamp out Detroit.

One of my favorites.

Up until he played for those dickbags in Day-twat.

Still one of my overall favorite Blue Notes though. Certain future Hall of Famer if I had any authority in such a thing.

And the crack about Janney’s wife is comedy gold, Jessica!

One day, David Backes and Albert Pujols will combine forces to become the most awesome piece of violent force known to man.

shanny

top 10 in blues franchise goals scored. 15th in points, with only 277 blues games played

nhlwize 23rd in scoring, 11th in goals, 4th in ppg , 11th in games played,22nd in PIM, lots of top 30 finishes in playoff stats. so no way the hall can keep him out and be legit.
