Brendan Shanahan drops the #Shanhammer on himself. #NHL #comedy

When Brendan Shanahan became the NHL's VP of Player Safety it was all rainbows and unicorns. Much has changed for Shanny since the beginning of the 2012 Stan...

Five games for #flames Rene Bourque, 7 games for #Blackhawks Dan Carcillo. The #Shanhammer is starting to get busy!

#Sabres Patrick Kaleta headbutted #Flyers Jakub Voracek last night. Seriously, for all this #Shanhammer business we talk about, this is the crap we have to take out of the game. If I was Shanahan, I'd throw the book at this asshole. MINIMUM 10 games for something slimy like this. Enough already.

i'd kick the shit out of that guy in real life. don't care how tough he thinks he is... freaking ridiculous.

George Prax 2011-11-03 17:09

4 games for Kaleta. Not nearly enough frankly.

The #Shanhammer ceded his airtime to Rob Blake for the #Blackhawks Dan Carcillo suspension. Thoughts on a potential nickname for the former #NHL defenseman?

Anyone else feeling #Shanhammer is getting a little bit old?

George Prax 2011-10-19 11:26

In the sense that the joke is old, or that all the suspensions are getting old? Either way, no.

Will the #Shanhammer drop on #Pens Kris Letang? #Jets

Kris Letang's boarding call on Burmistrov - YouTube

"At 13:08 of the third period, Kris Letang of the Pittsburgh Penguins hits Alexander Burmistrov of the Winnipeg Jets from behind, and was given at 2-minute p...

Phil T 2011-10-18 14:53

Letang commited to the hit before Burmistrov turned around. Imo no suspension

Adam Pardes 2011-10-18 15:16

Seemed like Burmistrov slipped and thus the check looked worse than it was. Didn't look like he shoved him too hard.

George Prax 2011-10-19 11:27

Shahaban disagrees, 2 games.

George Prax 2011-10-13 12:22

Adam McQuaid's hits himself in the head (again). Wonder if the #Shanhammer covers self-inflicted incidents? #Bruins

Adam McQuaid whiffs on a hit and falls into the boards and looks dazed afterwards.

(FYI, this is funny because he's already done this before http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bUPE37N3Iw)

Will the #Shanhammer drop on #BlueJackets Mark Methot for his hit on #Canucks Henrik Sedin?

Marc Methot Hits Henrik Sedin from behind - YouTube

Marc Methot of the Columbus blue Jackets has a dirty hit against Henrik Sedin of the Columbus Vancouver Canucks. He gets a 2 minute boarding penalty.

Adam Pardes 2011-10-11 15:47

Agree with Shanny here. Worse than it looks. Henrik turned at the last second & Methot seemed like he tried to let up. Certainly didn't drive him into the boards as hard as he could've. Not to mention Sedin put himself in a dangerous position just a few feet from the board like that...

Mike Milbury is mad about the #Shanhammer. I hope he pulls a Bill O'Reilly and threatens to quit.

Milbury Oct 7 2011 - YouTube

Mike Milbury proves he is a time-travelling caveman that has wandered on to the Versus set.

Greg Duley 2011-10-07 23:36

Milbury is a joke and shouldn't be in anything involving hockey.

Kyle Andrew Busch 2011-10-08 02:34

What a joke of analyst. He cuts of Jones every time he wants to talk. Loudmouthed idiot is what Milbury is.

#hot topic The #Shanhammer has been wrecking havoc on the #NHL. What do you think of the recent rash of suspensions, and will it continue into the season, when the games start to matter?

I think this is perfect. Shanahan is doing what Campbell never could, he's explaining why the suspensions happen and why they are so long. He uses the NHL rule book in his explanation as well. It makes the fans understand, but most importantly, the players. If everyone is getting these high number of games off due to suspensions, they should think twice of hitting to the head. It protects the players as well. So yes, it should continue and I expect it to.

George Prax 2011-10-03 11:29

I like it, but this was the easy part. When it gets to February, March, April, May, when the games actually matter, his job is going to be a lot tougher.

Jordan Kuhns 2011-10-06 03:06

I'm okay with the suspensions. Just goes to show that players can be too reckless with power in making the big hit when it isn't necessary. Shanahan's latest video profiling legal checks showed that you don't need to always hit hard to make the right defensive play.

Jonathan Szekeres 2011-10-06 18:40

He's trying so hard to make players afraid of him, he's suspending some people for regular hockey hits. Truly, the NHL is going to stand for the No Hits League very shortly

George Prax 2011-10-07 00:33

He's setting the boundaries, not trying to make people fear him. That would be a douche move.
