Shanahan was an eight time All-Star himself.
As we tweeted just a few minutes ago, the Toronto Star is reporting that the NHL All-Star game has a brilliant new wrinkle. They have eliminated the standard, old, passionless conference versus conference battle and are going to implement, this year, a radical suggestion from former player, now NHL VP, Brendan Shanahan.
They are going to nominate captains and pick teams like they were playing pick-up. The captains will still be selecting from a pool of players voted on by the fans. Reportedly, the NHL's All-Star weekend will kick off with the captains picking the teams, playground style, on live television.
Should be captivating stuff. Great innovation, NHL, you go!
The NHL All-Star game is North Carolina this season.

Dude - You gotta get a pic of Shanny in his Devils garb. As a lifelong Rangers fan and New Jersey resident, I must protest!
