Modin lämnar Kings för Atlanta Trashers

Okay, if you know what this means, then feel free to click on this link and peruse the Aftonbladet for all of the scuttlebutt. But for those of you who only speak English, it looks as though the T-birds have added another Swede to the roster before training camp. And before you get too excited, Modin is 35 years of age and hardly an upgrade to our current line-up.

However, his experience and crafty skill-set may be able to help the team in spot minutes as the 13th forward. But unless he has spent the last two months "soaking" in a fancy hyperbaric chamber to rescusitate his banged-up body, his contract to play in Atlanta is probably nothing more than insurance in case some of our young "chitlins" don't pan out at camp. Get it? Just a little bit of cooking humor to slake your appetite for delectable Thrashers' news nuggets. THIS, I DO FOR YOU.

In the meantime, I'll go back to pining for more Matthew Modine in Hollywood produced films. Oh tell me where have the greats gone?

And this just lifted off the buffet of tweets du jour...enjoy this yummy morsel of James Mirtle reportage:

@mirtle: "There are reports overseas that Fredrik Modin is close to or has a deal with Atlanta."

Well then, it MUST be true!

Lastly, hat tip to aaronb of Bird Watchers (not-so)Anonymous for breaking the news on their blog here in the States.

I wish we could acquire Matthew Modine. He'd add so much drama to the locker room and the ASG could make profitable Lifetime miniseries movies featuring him. Suggested titles?

"Bedknobs of Betrayal: The Don Waddell Story"

"Torched: John Torchetti & the Heartbreakers"

"NYPD Blueland"
