No Phoney Baloney! Thrash Hire Freddy Meyer!

BREAKING NEWS OFF ZEE TWITTER!!

I don't know much about this guy, but if memory serves, he's a pretty decent stay-at-home D-man who likes to play a physical brand of hockey. Hopefully, he can do it in a more responsible manner than Christophe Schubert, who seems to have a bad habit of ending up in the sin-bin.

But nevertheless, we still love ya Schubie!!

You are zeeeee (Ger)MAN!!!

And yes, what about this Andrei Zubarev character? Will he sign or won't he? I'm sure he's thrilled to see we hired one Freddy Meyer. Don't be crestfallen Andrei; we need your Russian stoicism and "enigmatic" cerebrealism on the ice. Please come to A-town for the fall-time.

In other more important news, a bull in Spain exacted some measure of revenge for centuries of abuse by humans. The ring shall run red with the blood of the non-bull-ievers!!

ADDITIONAL "BIG" NEWS UPDATE: The Thrashers have brought in yet another former player who was once coached or hired (or both) by GM Rick Dudley. This time, in hiring Clint Malarchuk, who has dodged death by skate and by gun alreaday in his 49 years, the Thrashers have finally fulfilled the long-running need for some type of goalie-coaching instructor to provided tutelage and wisdom to our young netminders. Apparently, Malarchuk will be serving as a "satellite" coach who will float from place to place imparting his knowledge of carotid arteries upon Ondrej Pavelec as well as prospects Edward Pasquale, Chris Carozzi and Alex Kangas.

Perhaps Malarchuk will even spend some time schmoozing in Sweden to check on the up and coming goalie prodigy Fredrik Pettersson-Wentzel, who is neither a relative of Thrashers' forward hopeful, Fredrik Petterrson, or the golfer Carl Pettersson, who has probably enjoyed a fair number of tasty pretzels -- see Wentzel rhymes with pretzel and it's similar to Wetzel's -- at NC State football games. By the way Carl, we here, I mean me, are pulling hard for you to bag another win at the tourney in Greensboro, NC this week. Good luck!!
