A proposed three-team trade that would have sent Ottawa's Dany Heatley to San Jose fell through when Sharks captain Patrick Marleau refused to waive his no-trade clause.

Really not all that surprising, if true. Could be a lot of factors involved - rumors about the coach, etc. etc. I don't know that I'd want to move from San Jose area to Ottawa.

Puck Daddy now has an article debunking the whole OC Register article. Weird story

Now we know that Ek**** has a new job - probably where he's getting press credentials....rofl

Were you reading my past tweets?

That's exactly what I wrote to Puck Daddy last night via Twitter after I read the article LOL

My exact quote:

Looks like the new OC Register new "reporter"/beat writer is non other than Mr. Eklund --- would explain the false report

Actually - I wasn't on Twitter much last night so I missed that.

But it does prove that "sick minds think alike"....
