Comments on: Shanahan’s a Devil again! http://www.2manadvantage.com/2009/01/10/programming-notice-livecappery-to-come/ We're just a bunch of knuckleheads dishing the dirt about our favorite team. With rants and musings galore, get ready for in-your-face writing with a hint of sarcasm and a healthy dose of humor. Add two gallons Kool-Aid and enjoy! PS: We're totally awesome.

Brookbank is just a spare player at this point, when was the last time he played? I'd have to think one of Rupp (size, physical play, and...not much else value added) or Pandolfo (not having a good season) may see the bench when Shanny gets minutes. Assuming Lou doesn't make a move later. I have to think this could be a set-up for a Gionta trade.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('27966','John Fischer'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('27966','John Fischer','I don\'t think the signing was based on the last 6 games; it\'s likely to address to special teams play - somewhere shanny can be a benefit.\r\n\r\nBrookbank is just a spare player at this point, when was the last time he played?

Boston played the trap to perfection - we don't have a trap-busting passer to stretch the ice, but that's on the D, not the O. Atlanta is a wash, everyone blew in that game, from the goal on out. I'm willing to just pretend like that one never happened. But just as they've been shut out three times in nine games, we've also got two players who are tied for fifth in the league in points, and they play on two different lines. Give it a little while - if they're still slumping when Shanahan's ready to play, then try shaking it up. But don't stick him in there if he doesn't fit - he's an older guy who would probably benefit most from third or fourth line minutes and playing on the PP/PK.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('27964','Josh Burnett'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('27964','Josh Burnett','You can\'t base it on a bad stretch of games though.
