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 […]

Hockey Fight: Boulton vs. Pratt

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 […]
