Happy Buffday, Dustin! Thrashers vs Senators
Sunday was Dustin Byfuglien's birthday and we were hoping the big man would be rewarded with a win! I made this sign for him. I got the stick tap.
This was also my 3rd game in 3 days and 2 cities, so I was exhausted. I didn't know it at the time, but I was coming down with a sinus infection. Yay. One cool thing, thanks to Shauna, we had club seats!
Here come the boys from the south!
There's the birthday boy!

Chris Mason in the net facing some shots. He'll get the start tonight.
Laddy Ice...funny when someone explained it.
Bogosian and Schremp goofing off.
Toby is sans helmet and all smiles.
Deep thoughts by Ron Hainsey.
Ron: I wonder if I turned off my curling iron.
Pavs in the net. This would be the 3rd game in a row that he was healthy but did not play.
Mark Stuart has his game face on.
It's fun to see the Little/Antropov huddle from a different angle.
Buff looks like he wants to kick that birthday sign's ass.
Swarming the goalie.
Johnny is sporting a full playoff beard that he probably grew on the way to the arena.
I was damn near delirious at this game and didn't take as many pics as usual. When this fight started up with Thorburn and Zack Smith, I started snapping.
Thor got in some good shots.
Anderson takes a break at the bench and enjoys the view of the ice girls.
Some pushing and shoving in front of the net.
Anderson sends the puck up.
Captain Ladd in front of the net.
Again, apologies for the lack of pictures. The game went to a shoot out after the Thrashers blew a 2 goal lead.
Schremp brings it in.
You can see Anderson making the big pad save.
Little comes in and misses.
Ditto for Wheeler. You can see Anderson getting ready for a poke check.
Finally, Captain Ladd comes in and scores!
Thrashers win!
