After a spirited effort for the first 40 minutes, in which the Thrashers scored the first 3 goals of the game -- scored by Kovy, Kane and (hark!) Little -- against the Sabres in Buffalo tonite, bad habits and tentative play in the early portion of the third stanza came back to bite the Birds in the ass once again. In what has become an all-too familiar refrain of "oh no, here we go again!", the Thrashers gave up two goals in the first 5 minutes of the 3rd period before responding with some renewed intensity of their own in the last 10 minutes.
But alas, a late, heroic goal was not in the offing tonite and the Thrashers fell victim to not only a lucky carom in OT, but also their own collective doubt. Fragile confidence was shaken in the early going of the 3rd period and their rattled pysche was evident until the game was knotted at 3. At that point, the Thrashers awoke from their daze and realized they really didn't have anything to lose. Unfortunately, it did not matter as the Sabres capitalized on the Thrashers' misfortune and skated away happy with a 4 to 3 O.T. win. And Thrashers fans are left with nothing but the sting of chest pains that continue to worsen from a slowly breaking heart.

So sorry your birds were killed by the Sabre team.... Chopin was a nice touch. They may rally though so don't lose the bird passion.
Chopin. So delicate and so sad.
Indeed, Chopin gets me everytime!
