A Class Act

Brendan Shanahan's career as a Ranger is finally over.  After an entire offseason of waiting for a contract that he was told might come that never did, Shanahan has decided to peddle his wares to the rest of the league.  Shanahan deserves a lot of credit here.  Athletes today seem to think it is all about them and that the spotlight is theirs and theirs alone.  Shanahan kept quiet and never once complained.  He has always been someone to look up to, both on and off the ice.  He will do doubt have a few suitors.  He does, after all, have 650 career goals and ranked third on the Rangers last season with 23 goals.  

I will miss Shanahan out there on the ice.  He was a hard worker, always skated hard, and put the team first.  They don't make them like him anymore.  Good luck to you Shanny.  You deserve only the best.  I hope you find a team that will celebrate your career as well as one that can use your services to the utmost.  I will admit it, I am sad to see you go but you do deserve a chance to play.
