Shanny doesn't hear them because he made his decision and parted. With Sergei, he went to the Ducks after the Wings had just been swept out of the playoffs by them. That was seen as being a traitor, much the same as Schneider is hated now. I still remember and love to relive Fedorov's great moments in the winged wheel, but I'll admit myself the way he went to Anaheim left a bitter taste in my mouth, a flavour that's still there today.

What #91 did there made him the most accomplished Russian player in the NHL, and he was a consistently dominant two-way player in both regular season and playoffs (remember how he carried the team on his back during his Hart Trophy season after #19 got hurt?). It's only because of the long shadow cast by Steve Yzerman that he wasn't held in higher esteem by Red Wings fans. For me, the interesting comparison is with Brendan Shanahan. Like people always said about Fedorov, Shanny was prone to slumps of relatively listless play, and ultimately left the team as a free agent. Yet Shanny is a revered, and Fedorov reviled.
