Summer Scandals

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted, there's just nothing really that's been going on lately that I'm interested in writing about. So far, only two moderately interesting things have happened this summer: the Heatly scandal, and the Patrick Kane scandal.

I'll begin first explaining why I haven't figured it necessary to talk about our current least favorite Kelowna occupant. Heatly is a douchebag, as I'm sure you already know. He doesn't backcheck, pass, play hard in the offensive zone, and, despite his size, can't throw a bodycheck. He throws muffins, like Sidney Crosby. The only difference is that Sid actually has a work ethic, and actually cares about his fans, his team and his organization. In other words, Heater macks off of his teammates and gets all the credit. He stands in the offensive zone and watches while Spezza and Alfie and all his other linemates work their asses off, waits for a perfect pass and bangs in the slap shot. The only things he is exceptionally good at are shooting, and standing still. I don't think I've ever seen him skate the length of the ice. Well, that's a bit of an exageration, but you know what I mean.
I haven't talked about Dany Heatly's trade request from the Sens because he is a selfish son of a bitch who doesn't care about anyone but himself. Listen for yourself: http://www.nhl.com/ice/podcastplayer.htm?pid=207&iid=14996
He is emotionless. He is saying he cares, but his tone of voice contradicts him. That's all I'm saying. I never really liked Heater; Spezz would get blamed every time something went wrong, even if it wasn't his fault, and wouldn't get the credit for all the goals he gave his linemate. This trade request was just icing on the cake for me.

Alright, now for our old Rookie of the Year. Patty Kane, I'm not gonna say much about what you did. You were drunk, you were stupid. You make millions of dollars a year, no need for a dispute with a criminal cabbie over a mere 20 cents. But you know that. I know you know that, and I know you're truly sorry about it. Unlike Dany, we can really hear the regret and sincereness in your voice. You told my friend that you only held the cab driver's head while your cousin punched him. That's still bad, don't get me wrong, but not jail-time worthy. If you continue to look cute and plea to court, I'm sure they won't press charges. Just keep fighting Pat, we're all supporting you.
