Look more parachuting shirts. My neck hurts!
One of the Thrashers most physical games all season. Too bad they don't play like this every night.
Stop the presses. Atlanta outshooting Calgary 24-23. Direct result of more physical play.
Crowd loves the Kiss Cam. I think it needs to follow Zhitnik out of town. Give away more Maiden CDs.
Thorburn gets open on the wing, uses his great speed and breaks in on net. Great deke and he buries the puck. 4-4!
4 minutes left and Kovalchuk makes an ill-advised no-look pass across the ice at the Thrashers blueline resulting in a turnover. However, Kovy and others are quick to react and retrieve the puck with some hard play in the corner. They move the puck up ice with Kovy carrying it into the Flame's zone. With Calgary players moving toward the dangerous Kovalchuk, Holik gets open up the middle. Kovy nails him with a nice pass and Holik buries the puck from the slot. The crowd erupts as the Thrashers take the 5-4 lead.
A minute remains and the Flames take a penalty. They pull the goalie in a desperate attempt to score but never get possession of the puck. Atlanta wins the faceoff near mid-ice and Kovy is all alone headed towards the empty net. An easy tap-in a hats come raining down on the ice. 3 goals and an assist for the future captain.
Easily one of the best Thrasher games of the season. Although they started out on the short end of the scoresheet, they battled hard all night and were able to overcome it. A fine performance. Makes you wonder where that energy has been all season.
Special props to the couple seated behind me who helped me put the Calgary fans in their place.
Must have been Babes at the Bulb night. There were a ton of gorgeous ladies in the building. Here's hoping the great action brings them back for more.

Damn. So the Thrashers win, Kovy gets a hat trick, you had to beat up some Calgary fans, and there were babes everywhere? And I missed this game? THE PERFECT GAME? Dammit!
Let's not forget that Kovy got to one up Iginla as well. The little bitch was whining all night. When the game was finally decided, Calgary lost their temper a bit right in front of me with Iginla in the center. I was so hoping to see him get his due.
