Because the man they call "Torch" has just arrived in the ATL! Well, Duluth actually. He's chillin' with his new future pupils at the Duluth Ice Forum -- right now, as I type this -- as the newest coach for the Atlanta Thrasher, um, I mean Thrash-hawks. Oh yes, this time it's true! Today, the Thrashers finally got their (other) man. Chris Vivlamore from the AJC reports that John Torchetti (pictured above left), now the former assistant coach of the Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks, was officially named Associate Head Coach of the Atlanta Thrashers.
So.....you know what to do! Light 'em if you got 'em!
Or just TORCH IT, MAN, TORCH IT!!
I reckon it's just a matter of time before GM Rick Dudley rounds out his coaching staff with the addition of one final assistant -- think Steve Ludzik or Bill Peters -- as well as a much-needed goalie coach. It would thrill me to no end if the Thrashers were to hire former Devils / Rangers / Canes' netminder, Kevin Weekes, who has played on Dudley-managed teams on two separate occasions. In fact, Dudley once traded to get Kevin Weekes to be his starting goalie as GM of the Tampa Bay Lightning back in the year 2000.
