Salmela and Kovalchuk give the Thrashers a 2-0 lead over TB.

[bluenose_72 198]

Full time in Atlanta.

Tampa Bay Lighting 3-6 Atlanta Thrashers

St Louis(2), Meszaros

Kovalchuk(2), Peverley(2), Bogosian, Salmela

Thrashers were 4-0 up in the 2nd and cruising, but TB got 3 back and had everyone getting a bit nervous! Then Peverley scored to make it 5-3 and Kaptain Kovy fired past Smith to make it 6-3.

Pavelec in the ATL goal had a good game making some key saves. Hedman and Kane got their first NHL points, getting an assist each.

My 3 stars are Kovalchuk, Peverley and Bogosian.

Can't wait for this, but we haven't had the best pre-season.

Lost 4-2 to Nashville and the Thrashers.

shipped 9 goals in 2 games....not ideal

Did anyone see the intro to the Oilers game... wow

What was it? I've seen a video of the anthem being sung there in the playoffs a few years ago and that was nuts.

Nah, but I did see Khabibhulin's howler for Calgary's winner

If Gaborik can stay healthy, NYR will have a good season.

Ex Thrasher Braydon Coburn was just pwned by Alex Semin to make it 3-2 Caps, they are a great team to watch.

Ahh right cool. Some of my relatives live in Virginia and are fans of the Caps, they slag me off for following Atlanta

And what a game this is! Firstly, Mike Richards scores one off Tom Poti's skate to make it 3-3 then he scores again for his hat trick, 4-3 Flyers! Send in the hats!

12 games on tonight, including Pittsburgh @ Philadelphia!

[andy500 463]

Dropped 9 Goals in our first two and let Tampa Bay take us to a shoot out.

In fairness though, we started last season awfully and ended up in the Conference Finals, I'm not optimistic of even making the post-season if we keep this up though.

Really good player. Uses his size really well, fits perfectly into the Bruins system.
