Ce soir, les Thrasherz don their burgundy-colored rain gear to prepare for a low-pressure system that is moving in from the Northeast. It appears as though the Carolina Hurricanes have brought their favorite brand of weather, as well as their dreary misfortunes, with them from The Old North State. But this time a new captain will be steering the ship as Eric "don't call me Jordan" Staal has assumed command of the flagging vessel formerly guided by the esteemed, but age-weary Rod Brind'Amour. Will Staal's promotion from Bull Ensign to Captain instill some renewed vigor into the bones of his mates? We shall find out first-hand as K-belle and the Speaker navigate the treacherous roads of Atlanta en route to the "Bulb" in a luxurious and elegant "road yacht", a Buick Lucerne, for a 7:08 (Bulova time of course) puck drop between the T-birds and the capsizing Canes.

Ahhh, was going to call you tonight but alas you will be at the game. Good luck! Did you buy that Buick or rent it? Pretty spiffy looking ride!
I wish! It's just a rental while K-belle's door is repaired up in Buford. Parking lot hit and run. Drunk bastard. I'll call you in a little bit before we head down.
That was one very disappointing game. It seems Capt. Staal read your entry before the game and came out in full force!! A hat trick? What are the odds...
Hope next wk's game against Anaheim on the glass will be much more enjoyable!
Loves!
Indeed! Not only was that depressing, it was sickening enough to make one want to throw up in one's mouth. Which I think I actually did at one point during one of our futile PP's in the 3rd. But the company was good!
I tell you what though, after the game on the glass, it's gonna be hard to get up for hockey beyond that. I doubt I'll want to go to every game in March. Perhaps Tues and weekends. 2 nights / week is too much I think for an insomniac like myself.
Here's to hoping for firing (Waddell or Anderson) and a big shake-up to get this team's attention, but I'm afraid it won't matter when you're captain isn't totally committed. The other players know it and it affects them all too often. There is barely enough talent but without consistent effort, what does it matter? Absolutely nothing.
That is one elegant road machine. The Thrashers and their puke-and-defeat-inducing third jersey = not as elegant.
