Thrashers Game Report - 03/19/08 - Live - Pre Game

Took Marta down to the game because I was anticipating extra traffic due to tornado cleanup. My first hint that things weren't normal was that the train didn't stop at Peachtree Center. When I finally got off the train I realized why. Dozens of windows from the tall building are no longer there. Additionally, several streets were block off, a fed extra cranes were around and the signage in front of the Philips garage is a twisted mess. Philip Arena itself appears unscathed.

Onto the Thrashers. I don't think I've ever had lower expectations for a game. Its been a long losing season and just about everyone seems to be going through the motions right now including the fans. Since Kovy hasn't given up I'll do my best to do my part. If nothing else perhaps the Thrashers can make the Canes a little nervous about the Caps.

Vabolik makes his pro debut tonight. 6'7" 240 he towers over his teammates. He looked a bit tenative in warmups. I'm guessing he's a bit nervous.

Before games a couple of the displays show Thrasher player notes and stats. Why on earth do they still show last years stats? I'd volunteer my services to keep these a little more up to date. Here's Zhitniks update

Alexei "The Human Pylon" Zhitnik is riding a career high 9 game scratch streak. During this hiatus, he's -8. Available for yardwork, babysitting or dog walking. Contact DW if interested.

Hey there's a "spirit" job fair coming up soon. Is this where I apply for a coaching job?

What is there left to "believe" in? Marketing bet have something new next year. How about "show up at Blueland"
