THIS JUST IN: Hartley Out, Waddell In?

Well, this is a sight Atlanta Thrashers fans and players won't see anymore:



Just after the noon hour today, various media sources declared that Atlanta Thrashers coach Bob Hartley was relieved of his services to the team. With an oh-and-six start, terrible offensive statistics for his team, and the unforgettable exit from last year's playoff appearance, apparently Hartley was the source of it all and the first to take a hike.

Is this really the right move? Or should there be other measures taken that will improve the team?

More clarity will be revealed when Mr. GM himself (and interim coach, too) steps up to the podium and addresses the media formally about this change of face and what the plans are for the immediate future. Press conference is coming up at 2PM.

OMG WTF LOLZ ROTF LMAO TTYL G2G, etc.

After last nite's terrible, miserable, pathetic game 3 loss to the New York Rangers, Blueland Nation is trying to figure out if this Atlanta Thrashers team has a pulse and if it will start beating in less than an hour in New York.

Now, I wasn't going to go into how non-existant the game was yesterday... but I am going to post something that will surely make everyone laugh, just because it's so stinkin' bizarre... and hilarious. Courtesy of a friend of mine who lives in Boston and hosts the Onward Charles blog, here's a video from the Angels/Red Sox game Monday afternoon. This isn't just your normal highlights of the game, though. It's a great moment caught on tape that deserves to be spread around. It's worth more than just a good, hearty laugh, IMO.

Red Sox + beer + pizza + =



Boston Herald: Pepperoni with that? Flying pizza at Fens

About this evening's game - go out there with dignity and pride, Thrashers. Please.

The Great Debate...

...at least something that's rattling my brain lately. Hearing the recent broadcasts on the Thrashers games, I keep on hearing something that's really unsettling.



Now one thing we can agree on is PASCAL. PASS-CAL. It makes sense. But...

DOO-PWEE or DOO-PWEEZ

???

It's driving me CRAY-ZEE!
