Moose on the loose?

According to comrade in pads Viv the Sieve, Johan Hedberg was somewhat less than thrilled with his offer from the Thrashers and hopes they offer him another (better) offer before July first. If Moose does indeed enter into the free agent waters, I wish him the best. He has long been my favorite NHL goalie, so it'll be an "empty feelin' deep down in your gut. Not unlike catching your wife doin' the nasties with--"

Anyway, I'd like to wish Moose the best in his future endeavors, be they with the Thrashers, with another NHL team, in Europe, or in retirement.

The Newest Atlanta Thrasher

Tonight on this the 25 of June, after some brief trade speculation and curiosity as two defensemen fell several picks, the Atlanta Thrashers selected, with the 8th overall pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, Alex Burmistrov.

All hail Alex "Burmashave" Burmistrov! (at least for now, until we find out whether he is to be hailed or heckled)

Let's hear it for Todd "Chuck" White!

The good fellas over at The Blueland Chronicle are taking a poll to see what to do about or with Todd White. Mortimer Peacock promised that if "Chuck" is the winning entry, "It's Chuck White from here on."

So let's see some votes beside Chuck and raise a glass in hono(u)r of Todd "Chuck" White!

The (Long) Offseason Blues

Love that bbq in NE Georgia! Best thing about getting bbq in the summer? Getting bbq, DUH. Next best thing? Peaches, straight off the tree (when they're in season. DAMNIT. Two weeks early). Next-to-next best thing? The Thrashers are guaranteed not to lose (at hockey anyway) because it's the offseason! (They might still find a way to "Thrash it up" on the golf course though)

Looking forward to the draft (as always) and already regretting/lamenting free agency (as always), followed by some actual Thrashers-ish hockey. Woop-TEE-doo, TEE-doo, TEE-doo...
