BrenDittero Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Yeah, little Gregory won't have his dad watching the Bruins back anymore. I would assume that Campbell's move away from playing disciplinarian only means less work for probably more money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTH Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I'm obviously not a fan of Campbell and Shanahan impressed me with his appearance on RDS this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 How long before Shanahan's accused of playing favourites with players he used to play with? I like Shanny but he's not far enough removed from the game to be totally independent. Certainly Campbell wasn't either but similar concerns are going to rise here.

Plus, would be funny that a guy in the All time top 25 for penalty minutes head the discipline committee. I like him, but it would seem funny no matter what. It's like if someone who spent lots of time in jail ends up being head justice of the supreme court. Nothing to help improve the leagues' image IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you there. Shanahan sure was tough, droped his gloves more than often and was caught a few times with dirty hits/slashing, but nothing over the top. He is, IMO, someone who'd be really able to draw the line between a "hockey play" and a cheap shot that should be punished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doktor Kosmos Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Wasn't Colon Campbell more of a dirty player than Shanny? Personally I don't think it's going to change much, but I welcome the move. On one hand it seems to me that Shanahan has done some good work with the league responsabilities he's had after he retired as a player. On the other hand, this is the NHL and I don't expect much to change in how disciplinary matters are expedited. It can't get much worse, but I'm not holding my breath either.

Dalhabs Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Hope they got some work now with the slash totally out of play in the 3rd period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
