Ouch... that's gotta hurt.

Too bad for Snyder... But really, who the hell doesn't wear a seatbelt nowadays? His critical condition could have been prevented.

They had to be drunk. Crashing at 130 km/h. The alcohol tests haven't been released yet.

ya, the charges for heatley...could end up with a 15 year sentence.

What a mistake. Rookie of the Year and then you do something like this. If Snyder does come around then Heatley better hope he'll drop the charges(considering snyder doesn't suffer severe brain damage)

I figure I might as well talk about what I see happening this year in the NHL. The west looks like it will still go through Colorado, Detroit and Dallas this year--but of those three its a toss-up. The avs have all-star ability at lines 1 and 2 but no real skill from the lower lines and a huge question at goaltending. The Wings have Hasek and perhaps the best defense in the game, but how much longer can Yzerman play like he has and they lost their biggest playmaker (and maybe their biggest problem,) Federov. Dallas is still strong but how will they fare after losing their defensive leader? I think the East is more simple...Devils play boring hockey..Devils win. I hope to god some team will beat the Devils, no matter how...Im tired of the damn neutral zone trap. Its not hockey, at least not hockey thats exciting and enjoyable.

The homer in me is mad tho that the Avs didn't take a run at Cujo, Burke, Khabibulin, or even Felix Potvin. I hope that Aebischer and Sauve are up to the task, because if they're not, we might be too far back to secure a good playoff spot (or even to secure A playoff spot).

That having been said...thank god the NHL's back.

Well, Snyder has died from his injuries. And the courts are considering upping the severaty of Heatley's charges.

Sucks to be him. I mean, such a promising rookie and then something like this happens to him. Hard lesson learned I guess.

...Sucks to be him? It's a damn sight better than what happened to Snyder...

Hard in a sense that he has to cope with the fact that he killed his teamate, a friend.
