New Ways to Interact: Facebook

We get pretty good traffic here at Bird Watchers Anonymous, but that doesn't show much in the comments. We've got a pretty dedicated crowd of regulars, but there's a lot of folks who just come to read the articles. If you want to chime in, you've got to sign up for an account here at sbnation.com (which I highly recommend you do...)
Still, we think that the more ways we give you to interact with us and with each other, the better. To this end, I've gone and done the unthinkable: I've created a BWA Facebook page.
You can get to it right here.
There are often things worth mentioning or posting that aren't quite enough for a story here - up until now, we've used Twitter for that, and will likely continue to do so, but Facebook will be another avenue for sharing information.
So what should you, our loyal readers, do? First, sign up for an account here and start commenting! Then go ahead and become a fan on Facebook and invite your friends.

Blogger Day: Coyotes at Thrashers

Hey folks!
Today is another one of the Atlanta Thrashers' fabulous BLOGGER DAYS. "Blogger Days" are days when the Thrashers give folks like myself sort-of-kind-of press access to the games! We get fancy paper temporary press passes and almost limitless access to the facility. They steer us clear of most of the players and coaches (with the exception of a couple - tonight we get Nicklas Bergfors) but let us partake in the free snacks and beverages!
I've only had the opportunity to go once before, so I'm looking forward to this evening. I'll try to come back here with extra information and tidbits as they happen.
It's much easier to comment than post here at BWA from my phone (which I'll be using a lot), so expect most of the stuff to show up in the comments.

Free Falling Thrashers Playoff Chances Collapse
by The Falconer on Mar 12, 2010 8:20 AM EST
in Analysis
13 comments
The Atlanta Thrashes lost 2-1 in Columbus last night and effectively eliminated themselves from playoff contention. In the seven games following the trade of Ilya Kovalchuk the team won 10 of a possible 14 points to push their playoff odds to 60%. That hot stretch was followed up by an ice cold 4 consecutive losses in which the offense completely dried up.
When the the Thrashers were winning the other playoff teams were struggling which helped Atlanta climb up into the 8th position in the standing. But now the tide has reversed and the other playoff contenders are winning as Atlanta has lost--which has accelerated the team's decline.

Ranking College Prospects
Chris Dilks composed a Top 50 NHL Prospects list in the WCHA and CCHA. It was interesting seeing his take on who he thinks has the most promise. Zach Redmond is the highest ranked Thrasher. Daulton Leveille sneaks in at the end. John Albert missed the cut. One of the top undrafted prospects could end up going right around where the Thrashers pick in June.

Let's Call a Meeting! BWA Radio Show Saturday @ 11am
The Atlanta Thrashers have been wildly inconsistent since returning from the Olympic break. After working themselves into a playoff position, the team has seemed to fall apart. In an attempt to stabilize the team, they've recalled 48-year old defenseman Chris Chelios from the AHL Chicago Wolves to provide veteran leadership. Will the Thrashers make the playoffs? If not, what's in store for the team and management? The writers from Bird Watchers Anonymous break it down... live!
