Heatley finally clicking for desperate Wild club
ST. PAUL, Minn. On pace for a career low in goals, Minnesota Wild forward Dany Heatley was mired in one of the toughest scoring slumps of his career two weeks ago.

Wild Need More Goals From Heatley
from Chip Scroggins of the StarTribune, Dany Heatley scored 26 goals for the San Jose Sharks last season and described it as a “bad year all the way through.”
Halfway through his debut season with the Wild, Heatley is on pace to score 26 goals again, but nobody inside the organization seems overly concerned. Why?
“Everybody probably came into the season saying...

Why’s it cool to boo Heater?
Why is it cool to boo Dany Heatley? I get why Sens fans do it. To the best of their knowledge, he dissed them. But the rest of us? San Jose? What did he do to us? Lots of rinks around the NHL boo Dany Heatley, for reasons hard to discern. I’ve asked, but the reasons people give me (people other than Sens fans) don’t hold water anymore, if they ever did.
As far as...

Did the Ottawa Senators win the Dany Heatley trade?
Bryan Murray has been summarily roasted for his work in the summer of 2009, when he sent Dany Heatley to the San Jose Sharks for the seemingly paltry return of Milan Michalek, Jonathan Cheechoo, and a 2nd round pick.
It was a terribly handled situation from beginning to end, what with every ounce of it playing out publicly, from Heatley's initial trade request to Murray'...
