The Atlanta Thrashers are up for sale and there are questions on if local ownership can be found. Winnipeg is clamoring for a return of the Jets, and Quebec City will soon break ground on a new facility in hopes of landing an NHL team of their own. With all the storie...

Young Guns Get It Done
Posted on 3 Mar 2011 by Mika Oehling.
The Ottawa Senators put in a good, energetic game against the Atlanta Thrashers tonight which resulted in a 3-1 win. It was well-deserved, as Ottawa's young players ran circles around the Thrashers, putting good pressure on them and pinching them hard in the zone. They showed lots of speed, lots of fight, and came out of the gate swinging. It's just the style of game that a red-blooded Canadian...

Habs add some muscle in the form of Brent Sopel
Posted on 24 Feb 2011 by Corey Krakower.
The Montreal Canadiens have finally entered the trade market. GM Pierre Gauthier has traded prospect Ben Maxwell and a 4th round pick to the Atlanta Thrashers for veteran defenseman Brent Sopel and Nigel Dawes. Brent is a solid right-handed defensive defenseman who won a cup with the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2010 playoffs. His cap hit of just over $2 million leaves Montreal with enough space t...

Islanders look to make difference in second half of season
Posted on 1 Feb 2011 by Dave Thomas.
While just about everyone in the hockey world knows the New York Islanders will once again be hitting the golf links early this year, that doesn't mean the team can finish the post All-Star break by limping into the off-season. The Isles begin play again tonight with a road contest in Atlanta against the Thrashers, who go for their third win in as many tries this season against New York when ...

Flames Close – Conroy – Winnipeg Jets?
Posted on 27 Jan 2011 by Shane Hoopfer.
My oh my how a week can change things around a hockey team. After the Flames had lost 6-0 to the Minnesota Wild, I like many thought that that game would be the breaking point this. And like a couple of times already the Flames have managed to claw their way out of certain demise. Calgary has now won four games in a row against some fairly tough opposition to put themselves within 2 points of t...

Hawks try to turn around a bad weekend
Posted on 17 Jan 2011 by John Morgo.
Well, it almost was a lot worse. It's been kind of a weekend to forget here in Atlanta. The Falcons got dumped by Green Bay in the NFC Playoffs, the Atlanta Thrashers are in danger of falling out of the postseason race following a four-game losing streak, and the Hawks lost to the Rockets. There is a common denominator. With all three teams, defense decided to take a long weekend for the MLK ho...

Going into tonight's game (1/4/2011) against the Minnesota Wild, there have been a number of intriguing events that transpired, which could have...

Who Hears a Horton?
Posted on 31 Dec 2010 by Matt Preston.
Bruins fans will always remember 2010 for the proverbial sucker punch to the gut dealt to their team when they blew a 3-0 series lead to the Philadelphia Flyers in last season’s playoffs. While it was not as epic in nature, the Boston Bruins closed the calendar year in similar fashion as they turned a dominating performance against the Atlanta Thrashers into a 3-2 shootout loss on Thursday ni...

Posted on 26 Dec 2010 by Jim Mulligan.
After a less than successful three game homestand, the Claude Julien's Bruins are heading out on the road to tour the Southeast Division. With blizzard like conditions throughout New England today, the B's moved their practice up so they could get out of town before the weather prevented their charter from getting off the ground. The trip starts tomorrow in Sunrise, FL against the Panthers ...
