Jay Feaster: Heatley trade bad news for San Jose

Interesting blog from Jay Feaster of The Hockey News:

http://www.thehockeynews.com/articles/28001-Jay-Feasters-Blog-Trading-for-Heatley-a-mistake-by-San-Jose.html

Much ado about "chemistry" and "character" and the fact that they'll have to bow to Heatley's needs or face his wrath.

I like that Feaster fella.

It's a bit slanted... but what isn't these days?



No doubt a big topic at the end of the season will be evaluating this trade and how well each team fared.

As long as it's slanted in a way that portrays Heatley as a useless douchebag, I tend to agree.

Ring-a-ding-ding!

Tampa...that's the team owned by that movie producer guy who has two last names...

Tampa's a great town. Seriously hot women. Great bars too.

Says the guy who signed Brad Richards to almost 8 million dollars when the cap was just coming in. Not to mention the several other missteps he took along the way, but in theory, this blog makes sense. Heatley doesn't have the heart to lead, but he expects to nonetheless.

Read the comments underneath, Sharks' fans are dunging their pants.

When did I say that? I said that their predictions were way off these years and that some of the content feels woefully re-tread, but I also said they still had some really interesting articles. This is one of those articles.

29th? What the hell? Eat Dung THN.

See above...you're right, your characterization of THN was much browner than I remembered.

Meh, I told them to eat Dung because...their predictions sucked. I went on in that post (or a little later) to say that their articles were interesting lucky for them, because they'd slipped down in terms of predictions and forecasts.
