You know, it's really nice to see a guy learn from his mistakes. So often in sports we see professional athletes act like they are beyond reproach when they are disciplined and it's really good to know that Andrew Shaw isn't one of those guys. Sure, he reacted to an obvious (Also See: Stupid) penalty - that was slightly aided by embellishment- by throwing a fit, breaking his stick into a multitude of pieces, and yelling "fuck" so many times that's a smile crept across the corpse of George Carlin. However, he didn't use any homophobic slurs towards an official and that, my friends, is what we call an improvement. That's the thing they don't tell you about baby steps. Nine times out of ten they result in the person taking them falling flat on their ass in the process. That doesn't mean progress wasn't made. This video was really more of a source of comedy than a source of controversy, and that's pretty damn commendable for a guy who is less than a year removed from getting suspended for a Stanley Cup playoff game for yelling that F-word directly into the lens of a camera. Let us not forget that Rome wasn't built in a day so Andrew Shaw's anger probably can't be managed in two minutes.
