After the Ranger's shellacking of those poor, innocent Toronto Maple Leafs, the Atlanta Thrashers finally have their ticket to the playoffs guaranteed - no questions asked. With all of the ups and downs throughout not only this season (literally, hello streaks!) but in the team's short history, the city of Atlanta has another team to be proud of - and y'all best recognize if you haven't already!
Congratulations to the members of the Thrashers for all of their hard work during the chaotic season! Let's continue to push further with this renewed sense of life as y'all have completed only one step in the process for ultimate success. The next stop is to go for the great distinction of a Southeast Division champion. Everything is in our court right now - don't hesitate and even consider laying back a bit just because of the recent triumphs. The time is now - this saying will never get old.
Also, thank you thank you thank you to the players, the upper management, and everyone else affiliated with the team. After all of the late nite phone calls to improve the team, all of the last-second tallies that determine victory or heartbreak, all of the injuries that just happen to occur at the "worst time", all of the passes and no shots on the power play, all of the fist-pumps to the heavens in celebration, all of the ticket-scanners at the entrance of the arena, all of the sheer volume from the Nasty Nest, you've done it. Everyone should take the time to revel in this glory.
We finally did it, Atlanta - let's not stop here.
