Fix it.

Soo......

I'm upset with what's going on with the Thrashers right now.

It seems they can't stay out of a slump.

I don't know what it's going to take for them to get it together, but it needs to happen soon. Very soon.

I can say it was nice to see captain Ladd get in a fight and draw blood when they played the Rangers.









Lundy cracked me up when he scraped the blood off the ice.... and when he was getting ready for the shootout. I should have taken video of it. Maybe if I get the chance to see them again.

Pain


First, I found out that Brandon Dubinsky, my Alaska boy on the Rangers, is out for a month with a stress fracture.

Painful because I'm going to the Thrashers/Rangers game on the 22 of January. Very painful. My only real consolation was that I might get to see Lundy in action and Ben Eager being a part of the Thrashers.

But no.... Ben Eager was traded to the San Jose Sharks on Monday.

WHAT KIND OF CRAP!

My pain has been tripled.

Now I have to make an effort to watch Sharks games to see him!

RIDICULOUS. I don't like the Sharks!

They have two good points: Niemi and Eags. Outside of that, I don't watch their games unless there are NO other games on.

My dirty, blue-eyed, rough and tumble boy is gone. I can admit he's the reason I started going to Thrashers games this season. But I feel in love with the team. It's just going to be sad not seeing him on the ice.


I'll miss you Eags!

All-Star captains!

Congrats to Eric Staal and Nicklas Lidstrom! They were named the All-Star captains for this years ASG in Raleigh, N.C.

I think my favorite quotes have to come from Staal in this article. The 'meh, I'll just wing it' attitude when it comes to picking his teammates says a lot about him. It's good to know that players can still just have fun when it comes to stuff like this.



Congrats guys!

Distraught?

Okay not really.

I'm more angry. I didn't see most of the game between the Thrashers and the Leafs last night, but from the score when I tuned in...I wouldn't have wanted to.


It was 8-1 at the end of the second period.

WHAT IS THAT?!

It's redonculous is what it is.

From what I did see, all of the third period, the team wasn't skating like they were back in pee-wee. There weren't an abnormal amount of turnovers and giveaways. The Leafs weren't even dominating in shots on goal.

So why the stupid high score?

I'm putting it down to a fluke. I have to. Because if I call it anything else, I could end up in jail for assault.

The Thrashers made a bit of a come back in the last five minutes of the period but it wasn't enough.

End score: 9-3. I hope I never have to write one of my teams on the losing side of a score like that again. Ever.

On the bright side, the Rangers, Blackhawks, and Wings won their games last night!
