WingsDC2B 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 Mac is back! People are talkin about bring Fedorov back in a trade.... I'm just waiting for the "Let's trade for Shanny" thread! And then the circle will be complete... I'm just trying to add a little humor to the tension (that can be cut with a butter knife) around this trade deadline.

Guest Jeremy88 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 No. Jesus Christ people...the 1997 stanley cup team won the cup 11 years ago. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME PLAYERS THEY WERE BACK THEN. I do not understand why half the people who post here want to have all these old players back... It's a new Red Wings age...it's a new red wings team. Yeah, we still have a lot of players from the late 90's when we won those 2 cups...But other than Nick Lidstrom, they've all decreased their productivity...most of them are just defensive forwards now...like Draper and Maltby.

Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 Yes, because Shanahan left because he didn't like Detroit anymore. Then why did he leave? You really don't buy that "it would be better for the young kids to develop" crap he spouted off on, do you? I remember Shanny commenting on how he was afraid the Wings wouldn't bring him back after the 2004 playoff series against Calgary because he played bad. Fast forward a lockout and one season later, and he just leaves. He had a great season that year, but he really didn't get anymore from New York that Detroit would have counter-offered. So, why the change of heart? Something didn't sit well with him obviously. Note: I hold nothing against Shanny for his decision. He'll always be one of my favorite players, and it's too bad things didn't work. But, things happen. Still, I firmly believe he wanted out of Detroit. Why else would he have left on his own, just two years after he said he didn't want to leave? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest CaliWingsNut Report post Posted February 26, 2008 Wasn't shanny the player's representative during the lockout? My guess would be bad blood from that, or just the feeling that he needed to move after being involved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yzermania19 1 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 Total speculation on my part, but what is the biggest difference between the 2003-04 Wings and the 2005-06 Wings? Mike Babcock. Methinks Shanny had some issues with Babs. Freddy Olausson had a liver transplant not long ago so he might not be available... I agree with you, KPwings - I think - besides my feelings that Shanny didn't like being coached by Babs for some reason - that he just felt it was time to move on. I can't fault him for that. Many of us, regardless what we do for a living, reach a point in our careers where we feel it's just time to move on, whether it's because we get a better job offer from another company or just feel we've gone as far as we could in our current positions. Just like in real life, there's no such thing as spending your entire career with one company/team. The days of guys like Yzerman, Sakic and the like are basically over.
