Koivu is listed as an Anaheim Ducks ...

Are Sharks for real, or are they just teasing?

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 03:06:42 -0500

They're doing it again. They're teasing us. The Sharks are trying to convince us that it's OK to watch them. It's OK to root for them. It's OK to think they won't break your heart again. After beating Columbus in a shootout Wednesday, they have the second-highest points total in the Western Conference, and they seem to be as hot as July. More than a month into the season, they have put together a six-game winning streak. They receive their biggest test in this three...

Dany Heatley's list of teams.

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 13:14:00 -0500

Props to Puck Daddy; this is the list of teams that Dany Heatly wants to be traded to, notice that Minnesota Wild are not one of his teams that he wants to be traded to. Big whew! I don't think I want him on the Wild as well, as a matter of fact I am sick and tired of self center athletes and would like to see the Wild start out fresh. Also, the Boston Bruins do not have room under the cap to sign Heatley so he can take that team off of his list. The Bruins would have to give up the farm to get Heatley and I don't know if they would like to mess up the locker room chemistry with a distraction like Heatley.
• According to Sun Media, the wishlist Dany Heatley(notes) provided the Ottawa Senators: "Sources told Sun Media the Los Angeles Kings, New York Rangers, San Jose Sharks, Detroit Red Wings, Chicago Blackhawks, Vancouver Canucks and Boston Bruins were among the teams submitted to Murray by Heatley's agents J.P. Barry and Stacey McAlpine." It's good to want things. [Sun Media]
