Scott Hannan won’t be in the lineup and it isn’t the coach’s decision. Todd McLellan said Hannan is out with an upper body injury and, yes, it was tied to the elbow delivered to Hannan’s jaw in the final minute of play one week ago by Dan Cleary of the Detroit Red Wings.
McLellan didn’t call it a concussion, but that would not be inaccurate.
Hannan did play the next game against the Boston Bruins, but that’s how head injuries can be and not a sign that something was overlooked. He sat out the Washington game.
Before Shanahan, that elbow would've gotten two games...see Dany Heatley suspension on his elbow to Steve Ott.
Can the Sharks file a grievance over Shanahan's negligence and apparent bias against the Sharks?
If he's still on IR, why did Tennyson go back? Why do we only have 6 defensemen up?
