from Michael-Louis Ingram and Gary Norris Gray of Black Athlete,
The Ottawa Senators traded Dany Heatley to the San Jose Sharks for Jonathan Cheechoo and Milan Michael. This greatly improves San Jose’s scoring power. The Sharks will miss their young feisty pacesetter Cheechoo’s heart, which cannot be taught….
Will the tough Philadelphia Flyers, a.k.a. the New Broad Street Bullies reclaim their fame this year? Brian Boucher was last year’s starter, but Goal Brotha Ray Emery (back after an All-Star year in Russia’s Super League) should be in the nets….

Will first round draft pick, Goal Brother Wayne Simmonds continue his improved play for the Los Angeles Kings. Hockey fans have called him the Black Great One because of his speed. The Kings have had a good pre-season, losing one game so far. Veteran Left Wingers Ryan Smyth and Sean O’Donnell will help lead this team out of the Western Division Cellar…
