Dany Heatley Head-Shot! (San Jose Sharks vs Dallas Stars 3/15/11)

San Jose Sharks forward Dany Heatley has been suspended for two games and will forfeit $80,645.16 in salary for delivering an elbow to the head of Dallas Stars player Steve Ott in NHL game #1049 last night, the National Hockey League announced today. Heatley's fine is based on his average annual salary and is calculated under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The money goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund. The incident occurred at 15:54 of the third period and Heatley was assessed a minor penalty for interference. Heatley will miss the Sharks' next two games -- March 17 against Minnesota and March 19 against St. Louis. He will be eligible to return March 23 against Calgary.

@an0therusername I was not referring to the recent suspension, but to his homicide a few years ago.

@sarthy3434 You obviously don't know a thing about hockey

So Matt Cooke gets 14 games for the hit on McDonagh but Heatley only gets 2 games? Thats sad.

@danynumero6 I'm sure that Heatley is sorry, I don't doubt that at all.

[danynumero6]

@TDFC09 But if he didnt mean to do it and if Snyder's parents forgave him and if Heatley helped build the Dan Snyder arena, then is it neccesary to feel any anger towards him. Its a burden he's gotta live with the rest of his life why make it worse?

[TDFC09]

@danynumero6 He didn't hit him with the car and kill him, but driving 30 mph over the speed limit, losing control, crashing and your passenger dying a week later in the hospital by your carelessness is homicide in the eyes of the law. Soooo yea he kinda killed him.

I cant believe Ott had the nerve to go on after the game to say that players should be more concerned about player safety. Where the fuck does he get off saying that?
