  • I had to share this, it’s just so sad.


    These are NHL players for the Atlanta Thrashers…Dany Heatley was the overall 2nd round pick in 2000.  A very talented young man with a wonderful future ahead of him…I hope that he doesn’t wind up in jail because of this accident.

    A season that held such promise for the Thrashers and their biggest star, Dany Heatley, has been tossed into chaos after a horrific car crash that has left teammate Dan Snyder in a coma and Heatley facing five driving-related charges. Snyder, 25, a native of Elmira, Ontario, remains in critical condition at Grady Memorial Hospital in downtown Atlanta after surgery for a depressed skull fracture suffered when he was ejected from the passenger seat of Heatley’s black 2002 Ferrari 360 Modena after it crashed at a high speed into a low, red brick lighting post late Sept. 29. The force of the collision, which took place on the opposite side of a narrow, winding road near Heatley’s home, disintegrated the back end of the luxury sports car.
