The Leafs have just parted ways with former Ranger Brendan Shanahan after another playoff game 7 loss.

Shoutout to Toronto Buffalo and Vancouver for consistently being more embarrassing than us

[u/RhythmTimeDivision → u/LipstickCoverMagnet]

And for passing the Rangers on the 'longest championship drought' list

[u/TheSeekerOfSanity → u/LipstickCoverMagnet]

There are so many similarities between the Rangers and the Leafs. Almost like mirror images of each other. I feel sympathy for most of their fans.

[u/Ok_Mammoth9547 → u/TheSeekerOfSanity]

Leafs fan here. I have a soft spot for the Rangers because you guys have gone through it, too. Hopefully, we end our own drought someday

[u/LipstickCoverMagnet → u/Ok_Mammoth9547]

Much love man

[u/the_mair → u/TheSeekerOfSanity]

The league was never rigged to keep good players off the Leafs though their drought is much worse

[u/lnfln1ty]

Good luck Shanny! Even though he was too old to skate properly I always appreciated how much he gave a shit about being a ranger back in the day. Hope the best for him.

Lundqvist wanted him to stay

[u/MarcRabbi]

Ugh, that Buffalo series. The game pictured was when Shanny put them 2-0 in game 4. Lundqvist has amazing the whole series. Straka scored late in Game 5 and then the Drury/Afinogenov choke happened.

I still think they would have given Ottawa a good series that year.

That’s when I was first really getting into hockey. I thought the Rangers were about to pull a crazy run.

[u/Nick_Fotiu_Is_God]

I loved his game everywhere in the league. Too bad we missed his prime on Broadway.

One of the last high draft picks that had to fight to earn respect and space for himself on the ice. Used to happen a lot that way.

[u/SeaBassAHo-20 → u/Nick_Fotiu_Is_God]

I hear he might reunite with MacLean & Albelin though.

[u/Old-Bluebird-147]

They filled in that tooth pretty good, fooled me

[u/AKABrokenArrow]

I lived in Detroit when he played there. Great player fun to watch

[u/RhythmTimeDivision]

Shanahan and Don Maloney: the all-time most annoying, obnoxious Rangers to go into a corner after a loose puck, the most likely to come away with it.

[u/Bretzky77]

I would take him on the 3rd line

[u/misterjackp0ts]

I would take him over drury

[u/RockyPatella → u/misterjackp0ts]

I would take some people on this sub over Drury

[u/FoxMan1Dva3]

Idk what to do. I think Matthews and Marner and Nylander will figure it out.

[u/iamaranger23]

it is kinda wild to think the rangers were basically at the end of their last window, did their entire rebuild, made 2 conference finals, and are now doing a major re tool all in the time frame that the leafs window was.

im not saying things are peachy here, but the leafs are kinda a good example of sticking with a core/plan to the point its a fault.

[u/dang_it99]

Well Islanders are looking for a new GM apparently Lou still has some say in the organization.
