BeeRYCE 2 Report post Posted October 11, 2009 Are you happy or unhappy to see Dany Heatley getting off to a fantastic start? He's already at 5 goals, 5 assists in 10 games tied for the league lead with Ovechkin. Some hate him for demanding a trade... But me personally, I didn't feel a player of his caliber deserved to be in the mess that was the Ottawa Senators. So I think it's good to see he has developed chemistry in San Jose and he will be battling for the Rocket Richard trophy... True? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buppy 1,720 Report post Posted October 11, 2009 He's a top five goal scorer, playing with a top 5 playmaker (maybe even the best). Good for the Sharks, as expected. But he could put up 100 goals this year and still be a ****** for publically demanding a trade then being picky about where he went. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
revnic 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2009 Seems as soon as times get tough or something goes wrong, he demands a trade. I wouldn't put it past him demanding for another trade in a couple of years this guy is pure selfish, putting himself over the team. f*** em. He really f***ed Ottawa IMO.

Guest CaliWingsNut Report post Posted October 11, 2009 I personally think the ottawa senators are the assholes here... I mean, how often do you hear about a team bitching about the player leaving? All that drama was caused by ottawa's front office. I'm glad he's doing well in SJ, but don't have any delusions that 5 goals means he's competing for the rocket.

Rivalred 630 Report post Posted October 11, 2009 Ottawa is a fustercluck and I do not blame him wanting out. He is a great player and deserves to be somewhere where he can grow. The whole "Barry Sanders' thing comes to mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Come playoff time, he might choke with the rest of the team *shrug* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The whole "Barry Sanders' thing comes to mind. 'Wanting out' and publically saying 'get me out of here' then saying 'well, not there' are two different things. And Barry was a ******. Faxed his retirement announcement to some Oklahoma newspaper shortly before training camp. Can't blame him for his desire to quit, but his method left much to be desired.

adubs 8 Report post Posted October 11, 2009 Dany Heatley didn't pubicly request the trade. Bryan Murray wouldn't keep his mouth shut and screwed himself over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P. Marlowe 748 Report post Posted October 11, 2009 The Eastern Canadian teams (Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto) seem to be the most difficult places for players to be. The fans in Montreal and Toronto are crazy and bloodthirsty (in Detroit at least it takes a 8-2 loss before the fans revert to booing) while in Ottawa the players seem to be always fighting. Their latest incident included Neil and Spezza. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted October 11, 2009 I'm eating some crow so far. I was thinking Heatley was going to be a huge bust in the Western Conference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mule 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2009 I've met Heatley, and he came off as an arrogant prick, so I'd love to see him fail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barry Sanders was anything BUT a ******. I'm a Lions fan because of Barry and I didn't even blame how he went out. They were run into the ground by the Ford family and when Wayne Fontes got the boot Barry had just about enough. Anyways, I have no idea what to feel about Heatley either. He was clearly terrible about it, stringing the franchise along. But the franchise he wanted out of was garbage and its kind of good to see a guy who has so much potential and had started to stall a bit become his old self. Good for the league, yes. Feel good for Heatley, no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
