My Take
Brendan Shanahan is my kind of hockey figure, a player who fused brawn with genuine class. At 6'3 he did the dirty work in front of the net, yet he also won the King Clancy Trophy for leadership and humanitarian effort, which tells you he was never just muscle. A Stanley Cup in Detroit, a Hall of Fame induction in 2013, and a goal-scoring touch most enforcers never had made him a rare two-way force. That he moved into management afterward, staying inside the game, only deepens my respect. He carried himself with integrity on and off the ice.
