I have to launch into a little hockey irritation right now. First, I love hockey- I grew up loving hockey, I married a hockey man and my kid enjoys it to, so, no, I'm not ever going to give it up. However, what is it with Atlanta??? I mean, there's a pretty decent, and loyal, I might add, hockey fan base here, but the team just can't seem to get over the hump. Is it the coach, the GM or the players? Regardless, there's always something...and there's always gonna be- new team members, new coaching staff, crappy goals you just can't stop- just like anything else. There are hurdles with any challenge in life...so GET OVER IT AND FRICKIN' WIN! Ok, I feel better.

Honestly though, the Thrashers need to start winning for the fans- we're still here, we're still coming to games. However, after 10 years of "next year will be better," or "just having a bad night," people are starting to get weary. Just look at the Baltimore Colts band that didn't quit, they just got weary. At least Baltimore finally rewarded them with a new team, where's our reward?
