Thrashers-Blues: Game Day No. 2

Ah, the gateway to the west: the second-largest music capital in the U.S. and the site of the new leaders in the Central Division, good old St. Louis.

This one might be a bit more difficult than the opener since the Blues have already knocked off the Western Confrence champs two times.

These pesky little buggers seem to have found a way to build their team around defense (wait, they did what?) and build their offense from that.

Anyway, this should definitely be an exciting game tonight, but I think we sqeak this one out 3-2 in the extra session with Pavs having a good showing that makes us realize why we have him and giving us a bit more security until Mr. Lehtonin returns.

On a personal note, it's too bad Manny Legace isn't dressed for this game. It would be so classic and fulfilling to watch him beat the team that said, "Thanks, but no thanks. Our rookie is better than you."

Go Thrash!
