NHL Hockey Trade News, Contracts and Rumors - February 25, 2008

 The Atlanta Thrashers will not be extending Marian Hossa’s contract before the trade deadline despite the fact that I think he’s freaking awesome.  Thrashers GM Don Waddell said: “No, I don’t believe so at this point (when asked if signing Hossa before the trade deadline was a possibility).  We’re going to look at all our […]

Atlanta Thrashers’ Ilya Kovalchuk Injured

Oh no!  Atlanta Thrashers star, Ilya Kovalchuk, appears to have been injured during his first game since his All-Star weekend appearance (gotta be girly for a second and say that it wasn’t until this weekend that I realized how smokin’ hot he is!  Okay, I’m done).  Kovalchuk was hurt in the second period in […]

Atlanta Thrashers Take Recchi From Waivers

Nice!  Mark Recchi, 39, doesn’t have to look into retirement options just yet, lol. 
The Atlanta Thrashers have added the veteran player to their lineup.  He had been put on waivers by the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday.  I have to admit, I wasn’t sure anyone was going to take him but now the Thrashers can […]

Sutton Gives Thorburn a Beating - December 1, 2007

Holy smokes!  Okay, fights are often a draw in my mind but Andy Sutton (New York Islanders) was clearly pissed off and beat the crap out of Chris Thorburn (Atlanta Thrashers).
