Shanahan still testing market

Winger Brendan Shanahan continues to explore the free-agent market. "He's still trying to see which is the best fit," his agent, Rick Curran, said last night. Curran had hoped a deal would have been made by last weekend, but he said there were "complications." He would not elaborate. The Flyers, one of the teams trying to sign Shanahan, are only about $200,000 below the salary cap - not enough money to sign Shanahan. The Flyers also will take a cap hit when Randy Jones and Ryan Parent come off the long-term injured list next month. All of which may make Shanahan, 39, a tough sell to the Flyers' bean counters.

The Flyers make no sense anyway, they need help in the net. They have plenty of scoring (man it sucks to have to say that).

Nobody can beat T&R at serving up reheated leftovers. Their three favorite dishes are : Sundin, Shanahan and Khabibulin. Lately, they added a fourth: Burke!

There you have it folks. Four T&R flavours: Sweedish, Irish, Russian and ...dog food!


P.S. I know! I know! Copy & Paste is cheezzy! But, T&R doesn't mind doing it, why should I?

As a parent of a child that likes Veveeta, I take umbrage sir, on behalf of Velveeta.
T&R is to "news" what Bettman is to efficiency and effectiveness on the job

Amazing that the rangers have not signed him. Despite there great record, they a physical defense man and a point man on the PP. Shanny would not contribute much in regard of ice time, However, maybe the PP will improve i dont know. A trade of some sort has to be made by janurary, Should have kept Avery.

Avery is a joke!!! He plays Hockey like a school kid in grade 1 at recess! Wow look how well he's doing with Dallas. Let me guess it's because he's not screening the goalie from 0.2 inchs from his face for the Stars to score and win? PIM doesn't get you any silverware at the end of the year and too many of those dumb penalties is costing Dallas lots of short handed time and that's great if they like playing 4 on 5. No disrespect to your opinion but this guy makes my stomach turn when he gets called a hockey player and I actually throw up when they say He's fashionable with the Hanson glasses. Even the Hanson's played better hockey and they were acting!!!!!

Hansons were true tough guys. At least they played with racing cars and not dolls and purses.
