The similarities only lie with their teams and what happened to them. Francis was a skilled clean hockey player that was always a big scorer, mostly assists and was not known for his big hits. Doan is a bruiser, a true power forward but nowhere near the skill set of a Ronnie Francis. They are both great captains but there on ice performances are quite different. Now, what is this about Semin signing a one year in the Burg??

My sources tell me that Doan is going to LA so he and Nash can carpool together, and their kids can drive to see their friends easier.

Does anyone else see the issue with comparing Shane Doan to the fourth leading scorer of all-time?
- TextingSources24/7


No comparison at all. Francis was a lot like the great Jean Beliveau in that he was a tremendously skilled hockey player and a great leader. Doan is a hard working physical force but Francis was an elite player and Doan is a good player. Hope I have cleared this up for Ek so he can start a new blog about Semin in the Burg!

Not that it matters, but are you saying that a newspaper that barely treats hockey with respect is more credible than a reporter with years and years at a news station in Vancouver Ek'?

Yeah, she's probably just making it up. I'm sure when the agent says this...

Shane Doan's agent Terry Bross just told CKWX that the #Canucks are very much in the mix for his client.


...she's just hyping for the home team! There's more too...right here...

If Doan makes a shortlist - the ‪#Canucks‬ would be on it.

I think that this guy would be great for Ottawa if Alfie doesn't come back next year.

I would hate to see him go there though..

Comparing a then-27 year old future Hall of Famer to a (will be at the start of the season) 36 year old slightly-above-average player: yet another idiotic post.

"I have always been a fan of Halpern..."

We know, Ek. You've always been a fan of every single player or executive in the NHL.

Lots of teams are in the mix to drive up the price... I would say Kings, Canucks and Sharks would be one of the 3 teams to land him.

Doan as a player, in this situation, is nothing like Francis. Totally different types of players, different situations, different credentials.
- 13sundin13



No see. It's totally the same - don't ruin the story line.

Every trade is a set up for a much larger deal being discussed right now.

And every player situtation has a parallel in history to some other epic situation.

Yes, I said it. EPIC!!!!
