Blueland Bad-Ass, Maxim Afinogenov, delivered once again in clutch fashion at the end of the game -- this time with just a mere 5.5 seconds remaining in regulation -- by swiping home a perfect cross-ice feed from the Big Kazakh, Nik Antropov, to beat Scott Clemmensen (AP Photo, Courtesy of John Bazemore) cleanly just inside the left post. The rejuvenated and exuberant...aww crap, at this late hour, I really don't have much left in the tank to recount what I saw up close and personal from Section 121, row K so, instead, I shall leave you with this little ditty:
AND THIS......
"Smaximum Finnies" gets ALL the BIG goals!!!
BUT.........
Smooth Ronnie Hainsey gets ALL the LADIES!!!!

You got Fins to the left, Fins to the right, Max has got the best game in town!!!
I was wondering if the two of you were going to turn around and wave to us common folk, what with you being in the fancy pants seats and all...
We didn't want to be blinded by the beacon of light that shines forth so brightly in that corner of the arena...we had to let our eyes adjust first!
I tried to get some decent pics of you commoners all lined up so neatly, but my damn camera was not happy with said lighting. In fact, my lens was irrevocably damaged! ;-)
Weird game, but awesome finish to a pretty entertaining third period. First period was complete and utter crap once again despite the fact we scored 2 goals!
Thanks for stopping by the "house" buddy!
Speaker's correct - every time we turned our eyes skyward, a blinding, pure energy rained down upon us and frankly, it was frightening. The fact that neither of our cameras have ever been able to take a clear pic of you guys in your balconette proves that you're either ghosts or some other assorted spiritual beings. Or descendants of Gloria Vanderbilt.
We are ghosts. Think Statler and Waldorf in "A Muppet Christmas Carol". Best movie ever made. If you haven't seen it, shame on you. 3/4 of the Chronicle gang has actually had hotel security called on us in London at 2 AM because we were too rowdy while watching that movie. And no alcohol was involved... really.
Ha! That is too funny...K-belle and I were just talking about how much we love the Muppet Movies after Morty put up the link to the Muppet version of Bohemian Rhapsody. In fact, it inspired her so much she created a Thrashers version of the album cover...stay tuned as that is sure to come very soon on this here very blog thingy.
As for you guys being dead and all (I mean ghosts), K is really into vampires and such so its no wonder we all get along so well. And just the fact that y'all went to London together is very cool. I has jealous!!
Smoothie,
Thanks for posting the link to your blog on the AJC again. Nice to find it!
Diego from Lilburn
Nice to have you aboard Diego!
Thanks for checking "us" out. Look forward to your feedback / comments as the season continues...take it easy and Go Thrashers!
And to think in Buffalo he was no better than some used hockey garbage. Once again D Wad went dumpster diving and came out with a jewel. He's playing out of his mind right now...and tell me it ain't fun to watch his celebration...only guy that celebrates better is Kovy
LOL Dacula Fan - "Once again D Wad went dumpster diving and came out with a jewel." Nice way to sum it up with flare! =o)
Shoots - I love you guys for your Muppet-soaked lunacy.
Dacula - well said and I do love watching Finny get his rocks off scoring goal. At this present time, I'll give the slight edge in the celebration category to Mad Max, who is well beyond the Georgia Dome garbage dumpster!!
We love your crazy-skating ass Finny!!
We don't show up in photographs? THAT'S AWESOME.
P.S. I am a Vanderbilt. My real life code name is "Anderson Coop.er"
I'm curious. What was the knock on Max in Buffalo that they would give him the boot? I mean, I get the no defense thing. But good gosh, the speed, the scoring - that stuff is hard to find.
And yet they just let him go? As a Louisiana pol once said about scandals that would end his career, did Max get caught in bed in Buffalo with a live boy or a dead girl?
Ummm... excuse me SPEAKER OF THE TRUTH!!!! It was I, Shooter, that put up the Muppet clip, not Morty!!
Oh no! Mi scuzi, mi scuzi...so sorry!
I'll buy you one of my specially discounted beers at Gorin's next game to make amends!
