Was just checking out the Thrashers' website, and the preview for the game tonight against the Sharks has a lot of bad omens for the game tonight. I'd say that the Thrashers don't have much of a shot against San Jose, but if you had told me that the Thrashers would be on a five game points streak on the road, I wouldn't have believed you. Enough about me though. Let's get to the good stuff.
Note: If you want to read the entire game preview, you can visit the Thrashers' website.
-The Thrashers are 0-4-0 with a tie all-time at HP Pavillion. The Sharks are also ridiculously good at home this season, having only lost twice in regulation at home this season.
-Bryan Little has six points in his last three games, and Ilya Kovalchuk has scored goals in six straight contests coming in to this one.
-The Thrashers have only beaten the Sharks one time in their ten all-time meetings in an overtime game in 2002.
-In the last 22 games, Kovalchuk has 19 goals and eight assists. He's taking this "captain" thing really seriously.
The game starts at 4pm EST on Sports South, and is available on NHL Gamecenter. Go Thrashers!

What Made News This Week: A Recap of the Week in Thrashers
Good morning Thrashers fans! There are a few articles here and there that I feel like you should check out. So, in the spirit of Puck Daddy, here are today's headlines in Thrashers that you guys should check out:
-For an interesting article on Zach Bogosian and Nathan Oystrick that I just read in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, click click here
-Sad about the departure of Mathieu Schneider? Well, Mike Knobler of the AJC wrote an interesting blog about the trade to the Canadiens, and said that the Thrashers actually got the better end of the deal. It focused mostly on salary cap relief, but there's other good stuff there too. Some of the comments at the end are surprisingly astute.
-One last piece from the AJC: they apparently have elected a fan to write about the team for the newspaper online site. This pieces has the most random ramblings you are likely to find (outside of my diary of the Thrashers-Yotes game) about the Thrashers, and also provides some solid insight in the process.
-Interesting fan site that links directly from the Thrashers website. It's called I've Become One and it is a fully interactive website where you can scratch your itch for all things Thrashers.
-Finally, from the Blueland Blog, Ben Wright posted interviews with the players concerning their current four game West Coast swing. Several players provided unique perspectives from the battlefield (of course most of them are enjoying going to new cities).
That should keep the fans busy until the game tomorrow against the Sharks, which will wrap up the trip for the boys. It will be on TV at 4pm EST on SportsSouth. Enjoy!
