[Shark in Hockeytown]

I always found it weird how many alumni events Dany Heatley appears at considering he was only a Shark for two years. Like, he was literally on three other teams longer.

Yeah, he's no TJ Galiardi.

Yeah, he's no TJ Galiardi.

At least he played in close to a third of his seasons with SJ. Dany played in 2 of 13 in SJ.

I mean, a couple of those teams have obvious bad vibes, and he had the most success in San Jose of the other two, including the most playoff runs. Pretty deep ones too, both final 4 appearances.

Eh. He wasn't the same Dany considering he was playing with the best passer of his generation. He was good, but not close to what he was in Ottawa. He was also pretty cooked after his SJ run. It's also weird Dany didn't attend Alfie's Jersey retirement in Ottawa.

He also wasn't all that good in his playoff runs if I remember correctly. But I guess if you're celebrating Thornton's heyday then it makes sense. Boucher is another weird one for me. Every time he shows up I always think, "oh yeah! He WAS a Shark for a minute."

This is revisionism. If he was the same Heatley he never would have ended up in SJ. He did go PPG in the first season and scored 13 in 14 playoff games. He was part of the Burger/HTML line which is one of the memorable lines in Sharks history. That line went to the Olympics that year and won Gold.

In the 2nd season he ended up on the 2nd line with Logan and scored 64 in 80 regular season, 8 in 18 playoffs.
