Shanahan vs. Brashear
In a brutally physical game on December 30th, 2006, Brendan Shanahan once again showed why he is one of the NHL's all time greats.
Shanny is a 500 goal scorer, a Stanley Cup champion, and one of the game's greatest leaders. While he doesn't need to fight, he will when it is necessary.
Donald Brashear couldn't hold Shanahan's jock strap when it comes to a hockey comparison, but he is a true NHL heavyweight. He had spent a bit too much time taking liberties on Jaromir Jagr in this game, lighting the Irish fire in Shanahan's make up.
I love this fight, because it is for the right reasons. Shanny didn't wait and let his team's goon take on Brashear. He instantly let Brashear know that what he was doing was unacceptable. And since the NHL won't crack down on goons like Brashear attacking star players, Shanahan took it upon himself to hold Brashear accountable.
Good job Shanny!
