from Damien Cox of The Spin,
Talk to Dany Heatley once and you understand you’re not talking to a MENSA candidate.
That’s okay. As probably more a few coaches have told Heatley along the way: don’t think, it just hurts the team.
But where Heatley really kept his synapses in reserve this time was his timing concerning a request to have his hockey contract traded to another NHL club.
I get the part where he doesn’t want to live in Ottawa. Neither would I. I get the part where after being allowed to freelance continuously during his years as a heroic Senator he might chafe at the notion of being asked to play a larger team game.
Geez, if he’d known he’d have to play in three zones he’d have asked for more money.
No, the part where I don’t get Heatley’s timing is when it comes to the fact that just about every Canadian hockey player is trying to be on their best behaviour these days in hopes that Steve Yzerman might find them worthy of being part of the Olympic effort next winter.
