ATLANTA - Dany Heatley is expected to recover from his physical injuries. But it remains to be seen whether one of hockey's bright young stars can overcome the mental scares after an Atlanta Thrashers teammate was critically injured when Heatley crashed his sports car.
Dan Snyder remains unconscious and in critical condition at Grady Memorial Hospital following Monday night's high-speed chase. Snyder's skill was fractured.
Heatley is charged with reckless driving. He already has posted a 50-thousand-dollar bond, set during a hearing involving a prosecutor and Heatley's attorney.
An expert in grief counseling warned yesteday that Heatley could be in for some dark days. Len Tuzman is director of social work at The Zucker Hillside Hospital in New York City. He says Heatley will have to deal with feelings of guilt and remorse.
Meanwhile, the Thrashers returned to the ice for a preseason game tomorrow night, beating the Florida Panthers three-to-two. The team considered canceling the exhibition, but decided to play.
