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.

Some interesting tidbits from a chat we had with the Director for the SportSouth broadcasts… did you know when Toronto reviews a goal, they actually use the same footage you see on TV? Literally. They’ll just record the views that are replayed on TV and go back and slow them down and look closer.
Pretty cool stuff!
How’s those press box munchies treatin ya?

…And just when we thought the power play couldn’t get any worse.

Can I just emphaticly state that I hate anything to do with NCAA basketball, “March Madness” & “brackets”? They seem to be the sole topic of conversation in my section right now.

yeh im looking forward to college basketball ending mainly because to see nhl scores on espn’s subscript, you have to first wait for hundreds of basketball scores from tiny schools most people have never heard of or cared about.

Stating the obvious
I think the guys looked much better tonight. I am still skeptical, yet hopeful that we can get into the playoffs. I know the odds are against us because of the games in April, but if we got breaks tonight of those ricochets of the post, those might have been goals, and if the same happens down the line, who knows?
The one criticism of the game- Why did Anderson not maiximize our shooters on the shootout. A friend of mine pointed out why did we not use Afinogenov or someone other than McArthur on the shootout?
Do I even dare say we should have Slava in just in case we go to a shootout? I think that is one thing that Anderson and coaching staff need to work on: get a crew of guys who can shoot on the shootout effectively in case Slava (which I am guessing, will be gone, after this season) is gone. Peverley scored a nice one, but Anderson should be getting his best guys out there. I mean Tippett used Wolski, Vrbata, and Aucoin. Wolski is a good forward, but was 1 for 12 on the shootout. Vrbata I think was 6 for 10 on the shootout, and then Aucoin is 3 for 3. Makes sense what he did. Slava is the best in the NHL no doubt, and didn’t know if Pevs would do it, but then we didn’t know who else.
Falconer,
Who are our best shootout guys besides Slava?
Here’s stats for this season and career:
Kozlov: 4-6 (66.7%), 58.7% career
Peverley: 3-8 (37.5%), 31.2% career
Kovalchuk: 2-7 (28.6%), 25% career
Little: 1-4 (25%), 25% career
White: 0-1, 37.5% career
MacArthur: 0-1 (Atlanta), 0-2 (Buffalo), 0% career
Bergfors: 0-1 (Atlanta), 0% career
Antropov: 0-2, 20% career
Afinogenov: 0-3, 35.3% career
Based on career numbers, our depth chart:
Kozlov
White
Afinogenov
Peverley
Little
Antropov
it’s weird seeing kozlov and white as the best at something.
