I personally am a big fan of the return we got for Kovalchuk, and I believe the playoffs this season is not out of the question. We’re not contenders, no sir, but we have a very ripe opportunity to completely rebuild the team for next season. Ideally Waddell gets the pink slip for the Kovalchuk [...]

Check out my latest article on THW. 5 reasons I believe the Thrashers can and should make the playoffs this season.

I’m by no stretch a sports journalist or a numbers expert. Just a dedicated fan making observations. Here are my 2009-2010 Eastern Conference predictions.

Atrocious: the Atlanta Thrashers could contend with the Islanders for the worst team in the league in [...]

Been a while since I’ve posted here. In case you’re wondering, I’ve shifted my concentration to The Hockey Writers, as I am the Atlanta Thrashers representative there. Check them out, you won’t regret it.
