Brendan Shanahan Retires From NHL

1-liner, NHL tyduffy November 18th. 2009, 5:30pm

Retired: Brendan Shanahan has retired from the NHL at age 40 after 21 seasons. He’s an eight-time all-star, and scored 656 goals ( a further 60 in the playoffs). He won an Olympic Gold Medal with Canada and three Stanley Cups with the Detroit Red Wings. He also holds the unofficial record for Gordie Howe Hat Tricks (goal, assist, fight in same game) with nine. He lived near me when he played for Detroit. An array of king-sized candy bars on Halloween. Class epitomized. (Canada.com)

Except for the part where he stole Craig Janney’s wife.

In case there was any doubt remaining that Duffy didn’t grow up in the ‘hood.

I share the pain of what it’s like living in the hood of Birmingham.

Actually I’m from Bloomfield Hills. We used to go trick or treating sometimes in Bham because I lived on a main road.

No better neighborhood for trick or treating than Foxcroft.
Used to see Shanny in downtown b’ham all the time.

And the part when he whined and cried his way out of Hartford at a crucial moment in the franchise’s existence.

I liked that part. Thanks for the nine years of Pronger by the way. He was useful in the Blues neverending quest to escape the second round.

We’d like to borrow your never ending quest, if it’s available.
