From Stan Fischler at MaxHockey.com:
Has anyone—with the possible exception of Edmonton Oilers leaders Kevin Lowe and Steve Tambellini—stopped to think that maybe, just maybe, there is something to like about this broth of a boy who can score goals better than most of his brethren?
The Maven believes that there is and, furthermore, I insist that we disband the Heatley Hatred Society for at least one day and reorganize it as the Don’t Knock Dany fraternity.
For once—if you can bear it—think of reasons to embrace Dany Boy. As a public service, I present just a few:

Fischler is that crazy old grandpa figure for the hockey writing community. You can either get offended by the senility or embrace it as an amusing distraction.
The fact that he continues to use “The Maven” in the third person is just comedy gold.

About Goal Line Report
The Goal Line Report will focus on all things Eastern Conference. Do I have a bias towards the Eastern Conference just because I am a New Yorker? No, but it certainly does make things easier! I’ll make my opinions known on Eastern Conference news bits (as often as I can), big games, hot and cold players, trades (I don’t make things up) and anything and everything else related to the Eastern Conference that I think is important for hockey fans to know. I will, in every sense of the word, be the beast of the East while also making sure to drop my thoughts on other hockey news items.
I, Patrick Hoffman, have covered the NHL since 2003 and have worked for a variety of hockey media sources including: Stan Fischler, Spector’s Hockey, TheHockeyNews.com, HockeyBuzz.com, McKeen’s Hockey, Blueshirt Bulletin, XM Home Ice Channel Hockey Blog, HockeyPrimeTime.com, FantasyHockey.com. NY SportsDay, and HokejaVestnesis.com.

Stan Fischler needs to retire…
not because of this particular story mind you, but because of his last 2-3 yrs of work and assinine comments.
