Seems like just yesterday, doesn’t it, that Mats Sundin joined the Vancouver Canucks a day before they were set to play the Ducks.
Tonight, the Kings are playing the Devils, the team that drafted the great Brendan Shanahan No. 2 overall in 1987, one the same day that Shanahan agrees in prinicple to sign with New Jersey. The Devils visit the Ducks tomorrow but (reading between the lines of Lou Lamoriello’s comment that “he certainly will not be rushed into anything”) Shanahan won’t be in uniform this weekend.
Be sure to wave to the hype train as it passes through Southern California.
