Brendan Shannahan? Are you freaking kidding me? He was a cheapshot artist in fights. What about his cheap shot on Bryan Allen (I think)? Being crude to a female fan. Punching a guy in the face when he’s not looking (classless and spineless)! I guess Shannahan couldn’t do anything else or maybe he cried to get an easy paycheck, who knows. I just don’t think you put a cheapshot artist in charge of discipline. Also did you see him, I think he needs to lay off the booze!

Is it me, or would 8 out of 10 of those KHL hits be suspensions from Shannahan?! They seem to run at the players and leave their feet… not to mention, some pretty close headshots… Is it just me, or did those hits look fast and furious? Maybe I’ll watch the KHL…
