Some press conference...

Preamble: I am very tired today. This blog actually contains cussing *gasp*

Senators fans have been screaming “GTFO, Heatley” for a while now, but now I am joining in. I knew he was a conceded little bastard, but his press conference just fanned the fire.

His press call did nothing to help his reputation and answer questions for the fans that bought tickets to see, jerseys to feel proud or booster about how he is the best thing since sliced bread. Unfortunately, the ego trip has gotten to Mr. Heatley and he has successfully sunk himself.

First, he stated that neither he nor his agents leaked the trade rumour. We already know this is bullshit. If it were the truth, the Heatley camp would have come out immediately and blasted Ottawa for playing dirty pool. The fact is that Heatley’s camp decided to blackball the Senators. Next he stated that he had no issues with Clouston, HOWEVER, he felt that his role on the club was diminished and less integral. So, Dany, let me get this straight ... Clouston, the person who actually dictates your role on the ice, isn’t the problem but rather how he used you? Oh! I get it! You think Clouston is a fine upstanding man, but he is an idiot coach. Why didn’t you say so? Too busy standing at the hash marks waiting for Spezza to force-feed you a puck? Douche bag.

The best line came from Don Brennan from the Ottawa Sun. “Sorry for not getting back to your calls, Dany...” I just about fell out of my chair. Now, I have four hours of sleep combined from 10:30pm to 11:00am today... so I am a little euphoric, but that was hilarious. However, I was very disappointed that Healtey completely dodged the question about alternate captaincy. He was asked if he would still expect to be (or something along the lines) in that position and he said he would be the best he can if he has to play the Sens.

Anyway, the short of it is that Dany ‘Fuck You Ottawa’ Heatley has flipped the bird at Ottawa... again. He is a prima donna who cannot take being a part of a team. He has to be the #1 star, the only star for that fact, and he hasn’t a want nor desire to with the Stanley Cup. Because let’s face facts, Dany ... You cannot win a cup on your f’in own. Period.

I look forward to training camp because if I were Bryan Murray, I would hold fast to my intentions of getting a winning trade for Ottawa for the douche bag winger with an ego the size of his pay cheque. Force the punk to come to camp... make him play for every second he gets of ice time and make sure Clouston knows that Heatley gets absolutely no special treatment. Put his ass on the third line if he stands at the hash marks with his stick fifteen feet in the air and let the little prick suffer without Spezza feeding him pucks.

When Heatley came to Ottawa and put on a clinic... he played the game of hockey. Now, sadly, he expects the game of hockey to play around him for his own whims. Fuck him.
