Yeah! It did have the feel of a playoff game - except for the
officiating. It seems like some games have a lot more head-scratchers
than others.

I really hope it's something like a bruised shoulder and not anything
more. As you know, Heatley hasn't missed a shift in the two and a half
years since he got here. Aside from everything else, he's the #1 scorer
on the power-play, and the PP absolutely has to be firing for them to
keep winning games. As you say, it didn't look bad, and I really hope it
isn't any worse than it looked.

Reports on TSN say it is. His absence will make things difficult, but not
impossible. It will be interesting to see how Paddock manages the lines and
special teams.

As mumps said, it looked like playoff hockey: it was fast and fairly furious,
low-grade officiating notwithstanding. I hope they kept something in the tank
for tonight against the Islanders.

I think maybe you had a feeling about what was left in the tank after
Saturday Andrew. I had to work into the evening Sunday night and missed
this one. I've seen clips of Spez getting nailed though. Ouch! Wicked
hit. It's strange but Heatley's tumble looked harmless and he's gone for
6 weeks - Spez's hit looked lethal, but it sounds like he's good to go
again tonight. You just never know. I feel especially bad for Heatley
in that his injury will most likely cost him a third consecutive 50-goal
season. I think he could have done it. Injuries are really the x-
factor. I guess better to have them banged up now than in March
though...
