On October 5th, 2005, opening night for the 2005-06 NHL season, Daniel Alfredsson and Dany Heatley became the first players to score the winning goals for a shoot out in NHL history when they both scored against the Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Ed Belfour.

I don't get this... --129.11.76.230 15:43, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. By definition, two different players cannot score the winning goal in the same game. I've revised that sentence slightly. Resolute 04:48, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

He meant them to both score. Technically, the first was Alfredsson, then Heatley got the winner.

[edit] German hockey player?

I've never understood the point of labelling players like Heatley (and the Regehr brothers in Calgary) as being foreign based simply on the location of their birth. Heatley's parents are both Canadian, and his German "heritage" is nothing but an accident of location when he was born. That does not strike me as enough of a reason to add Heatley to the "German Canadians" and "German Hockey Players" categories. Resolute 04:48, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

His mother is German. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.192.61.106 (talk • contribs) 17:04, 3 December 2006 (UTC).

His mother is a Canadian citizen. His father is Canadian. He's not eligible to play for team Germany either. Dany Heatley is Canadian.

[edit] Name: Dany "Daniel" Heatley

I have never heard of Heatley's first name be Daniel. I don't think someone like Luke Skywalker would be 'Lucas Skywalker' So I think we don't need Dany's "other" name. Dany can be a name and everyone referres to him as Dany. Hasek is the best 04:40, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "The Trade"

Information regarding the two games against the Buffalo Sabres, including given statistics, was removed. They serve no practical purpose in the section, unless put into an overall season stat category or something of that nature. Information regarding the "altercation" was also removed. What does that have to do with the "trade"? What is it's relevance? It seems like those two specific games in his career were singled out for no particular reason; I assume because the person editing that page had done so just after those two games had ended. There's no place for "spur of the moment" information in his biography, unless it's a major event in his career. Those were games, like the many he has played all season. Too specific, and too out of place.

If someone wants to create some sort of "significant events" category and keep it updated, then the incident and stats from that game could be included. For now, it has been removed.

[edit] Inconsistencies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The following is found in the Dan Snyder Wikipedia entry:

Heatley was charged with vehicular homicide as a result of the crash. He pleaded guilty to third-degree vehicular homicide, driving too fast for conditions, failure to maintain a lane,speeding and D.U.I.

The following is found in the Dany Heatley Wikipedia entry:

Despite forgiveness from Dan Snyder's family, Heatley was charged with vehicular homicide as a result of the crash. He pleaded guilty to second-degree vehicular homicide, driving too fast for conditions, failure to maintain a lane, and speeding. Although alcohol was found in his system, he was not driving over the legal limit.

Heatley is awesome!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.230.84.74 (talk) 01:03, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The points and goals leadership

I re-do my last addition regarding Dany's status as the Team Canada points and goals leader. He is the leader if we count only the points and goals accumulated during the world championships. If, on the other side, we count the points and goals from all the senior international tournaments (including Canada Cups, Olympics and Rendevouz), Gretzki is the uncontested leader - you can easily find it on his Wikipedia page. So I rest my case. Deinocheirus (talk) 14:12, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

The cited article is called "Heatley moves past Yzerman to become all-time points leader for Canada", you can't make up titles. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 14:20, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, you are absolutely right, I've missed the point where to add the words about the World championships and put it into the title of the article instead of the text itself. Thanks. Deinocheirus (talk) 17:20, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
