Man oh man. Was Dany Heatley’s return to the Thrashers a jolt or what? The Thrashers were animals on the ice. Their feet never stopped moving. They all looked electric. Almost too electric. They couldn’t connect on a lot of plays because they were overskating. It was something to see. The Thrashers ended up tying St. Louis 1-1.
Also, Dan Snyder’s family (Snyder was killed while driving with Heatley) continue to take the high road, releasing a statement of support for Heatley. If Heatley does return to his last-season form, it’ll only be because of the support and kindness of the Snyders.
