Former Detroit Red Wings forward Brendan Shanahan was known for his goal scoring abilities and toughness, but he was also known as being one of the funniest guys in the dressing room.
His humor could also be brutally honest, as a female fan of the Carolina Hurricanes found out during the 2002 Stanley Cup Finals. The fan had been verbally harassing various Red Wings players in the penalty box during Games 3 and 4 in Raleigh, but she went ignored. That is, until Shanahan noticed that she….ahem….needed to practice some better personal hygiene and gave it right back to her:
Of course, Shanahan would add insult to injury by scoring in Game 4, as well as tallying twice in the deciding Game 5 back in Detroit. Absolutely priceless stuff from Shanny!
