Shanahan convinced he still has scoring touch

Quote:

Now in his 20th NHL season, New York Rangers' Brendan Shanahan has done the math so often that he has the numbers committed to memory. He also is convinced that, over the course of any season, the most pertinent of those numbers, his career shooting percentage of 13.2, always proves inescapable, give or take a point or two.

So no, the Rangers' sage winger isn't worried that, having already uncorked a league-high 32 shots on goal without scoring a goal, he is experiencing the beginning of the end of his days as a big-time scorer.

I don't think there should be any worries about Shanahan performance. It will naturally slow down, but I predict he will hit 60 points easily by the end of the year. You just have to look at his stats for the last 10 years. He also adds a lot of leadership for his team.
