Hockey!

If you know Susan and me, you know that we like hockey. I live near San Jose, which makes the Sharks my home team. Susan grew up in Philadelphia, so the Flyers are near and dear to her heart.

This afternoon, the Sharks announced that they've traded two players (who have been good, but didn't thrive under the new coach) for Dany Heatley. Heatley played for the University of Wisconsin, where I went to college, and for Atlanta, where I lived before moving to Silicon Valley (and where we had season tickets). So I'm happy to see a familiar face on the team again, but at the same time, Heatley can be kind of a drama queen. The Sharks are not known for putting up with that.

My take on it: this could be good. Heatley could give the team a new spark, but he could also not fit in well. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is what the Sharks need to finally get to the Stanley Cup finals!
