Next for Thrashers
Who: vs. Canadiens
When: 7 p.m. Tuesday
TV; radio: SPSO; 680 AM, 93.7 FM
* The Thrashers are coming off Sunday’s come-from-behind win over the Maple Leafs snapping a five-game losing streak. The Canadiens are coming on Saturday’s win over the Hurricanes.
* Former Thrashers defenseman Brent Sopel will return to Philips Arena after being traded to the Canadiens on Feb. 24.
* The Thrashers have not allowed a power-play goal in the past three games, killing all 12 man-disadvantages.
* Andrew Ladd has six of the Thrashers’ last 13 goals.

A little off-topic but can you update the timelines for Cormier, Slater, and Burmistrov returns?

Jim Slater is in the darkness of a concussion, there is simply no timetable considering he has had a few and the symptoms last longer for different individuals, obviously, thus the ‘darkness of a concussion’. Hope that helps.

I think Dudley made a point to get the non committed players and oft injured Modin out of here and I guess that’s an accomplishment. Of all our trades including Peverley; Dudley basically weeded out guys who have shown effort issues. I thought Peverley and Bergfors were the two main culprits to be honest and Modin was just painful to watch when he actually was healthy enough to play, so having these players removed is a good thing, IMO, even though the return for today’s deals wasn’t much.

Lackluster day..but what did we expect? Bergfors has been on the block all year so this was the best availible deal for a player who would leave one way or the other. Modin was an empty jersey with little value. DW threw the wrench in trading Hainsey or Antro with their contracts, I assume any offers for Oduya were not good enough. Other than those guys, who were we seriously going to move, hardly any teams made deals.

Wonder if Montreal will start Drew MacIntryre in net, whom they just acquired from your Atlanta Thrashers. Seriously, I’d love to see that!

Now this is the kind of rival shaking move we needed to make. Im pretty sure the Canes just gave up.

Price on most nights can carry Les Habs, hopefully Plec and Cammi continue to come on, man has Gomez tanked, big salary does that to some in the NHL history books.
Good Luck tonight, Habs by 2
G’day from Ontario
