Shots are even for a change. Its defense and poor goaltending causing the problems tonight.
More nice work in front of the Canes net results in an almost goal. Someone needs to explain to those in attendance that the puck must go all the way across the line.
Am I the only one who finds it strange that Kovy shares a birthday with 5 astronauts.
6:37 left and the thrashers take a penalty. This one is looking bleak.
Hedberg gives up a rebound straight up and Canes bury the biscuit. This one is over. 5-2
Unsure how to handle a lead in shots on goal, the Thrashers take another penalty to correct the stat.
Oooh garbage goal late. Thrashers toot their horn. Only need to more to tie it up. Unfortunately, that ain't going to happen with 25 seconds left.
Game official over. Final score Carolina 5 - Atlanta 3.
About the only thing I like about this game was the Thrashers success with working the puck down low. For a change I saw some bodies in front of the opponents net and some defensemen pinching in. This needs to become a regular part of their offense if they are going to improve next season.

Thrashers Game Report - 03/19/08 - Live - Period 2
Now its Maiden DVDs. Moving up in the world!
If Hedberg is in goal for the second period, I might just hit the rails.
Hey Sonny Perdue. I know something we can do to save water. Quit making ice in philip in a couple weeks. Maybe that's the real reason this team is tanking it. Damn water shortage is cutting the season short.
Only positive is Thrashers are getting the puck in low around the Canes net
Down low work and nice cycling pays off. Nice pass by Kozlov and Little bangs him home. 3-1
That didn't take long. Another defensive turnover another soft goal. I beg DW to pull Hedberg. Make eye contact with Kari who just shakes his head. 4-1
Thrashers answer quickly as mcCarthy gets one down low. 4-2
If nothing else all the action wakes the crowd and tires my thumb.
Canes take the first penalty of the game and Thrashers have several near misses but can't take advantage.
Canes turn on the PP. Thrashers kill it to keep it 4-2

Thrashers Game Report - 03/19/08 - Live - Period 1
a seven year old signs the anthem and they cant even give her a Thrashers jersey?
4 minutes in goal for Canes. Vabolik on ice but he plays in perfect. Breakdown is Kwiatowski and Kozlovs fault.
Vabiolik makes first error and it costs the Thrashers a goal. Bad clearing attempt. Hedberg also failed on both goals. 2-0
Kovys 50th goal is announced but there is barely recognition. Proof the fans are worn out.
More Maiden CDs to giveaway. Shouldn't we send these to the third world instead?
Another defensive turnover and another Canes goal. Larsen takes a good chunk of the blame but Hedberg allows a sortie. Pull him now. Poor Boris caught on ice again. -3 welcome to Blueland Boris. 3-0
Thank goodness the period is over. The Canes can't score for 18 minutes.

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"
