First Yzerman, Then Ben Wallace, Now Shanahan
Monday, July 10, 2006
Brandan Shanahan has left Detroit and is heading to the New York Rangers. He spent the last decade here and helped win 3 Stanley Cups, he will be missed. Detroit fans need to let go of the past and move on with a younger team who can rebuild and bring the cup back home. As much as we like our veteran players, we need to let them go. Yzerman marked an end of an era for the team and now its time to start a new one. Below are some quotes from the Free Press article.
............................................
"It was just a growing instinct," he said via phone from his summer home in Massachusetts. "As great as the future is in Detroit, I think I belonged a little more to its great past."
"I guess I felt my group was leaving, our era is kind of over," he said. "I think it's better to walk out the door than to have it opened for you and, you know" -- he chuckled -- "they grab you by the scruff of the neck and throw you out."
