So I'll allow people to explain their view on that because Shannon will NEVER be the player Cheechoo is/was/will be even if he struggles.

Because Shannon has established himself as a "fan favourite". You know, hard working, tenacious, speedy. If you can rate highly in the popularity contest in Ottawa, you're good. Results matter less at that point. I'd give other examples but I'd be accused of some sort of bias.

I literally called Cheechoo a piece of Dung on many occasions. He turned me around with his PLAY. I'm even starting to think that the knocks on his skating are greatly exaggerated.

Redden for sure.

Isn't he actually doing pretty well now?

Maybe it's some Scandinavian holiday. Celebrated only by those under 30.

Or they're just a banged up or have the flu. Lots of time until the next game.

This is an Olympic year, no?

According to Brent Wallace, they have the flu.

Kuba is practicing with the team though

That was STUPID on so many levels. I was embarrassed.
