And So The Sad Tradition Continues...Hockey Photo of the Day

Not that my photos are sad, at least not all of them. It is sad because I only do this during the off season and this means the off season has started for Thrashers fans.

I chose this photo because it's got two Stars from Dallas who won't be with the team next year. Modano's contract is up and it's not known if he will be offered another. The Stars have confirmed that they will NOT be extending another contract to Marty Turco.

I just noticed how the puck hasn't hit the ice yet...much like the state of hockey at the moment. DEEP!

Crappy Hockey Photo of the Day

This picture is complete crap...but it has two redeeming qualities, two of my favorite hot Swedes. Johan Hedberg and Henrik Zetterberg are all that saves this picture.

A little proof that the NHL actually does acknowledge the existence of the Thrashers. This was taken at the NHL store.

Okay it's kind of cheating, but several people enjoyed this picture in my Focus on Pavelec so I thought you might like seeing the full color version. I think I'm also going to do a "My Favorite Hockey Pictures" post before the new season.

I've been a slacker this week with the photo of the day. Here is Jeremy Roenick from the Sharks/Predators game I went to. I'm super glad I went because other wise I wouldn't have gotten to see JR. Good look with retirement! I'm sure you'll have your own show or at least your own mic very soon.

In my quest to show love to some of the "forgotten" Thrashers in the photo of the day, I found poor Todd White. I don't think I've typed his name a single time on my blog yet. I could barely find a picture of him. Sorry Whitey!

Showing a "Little" love for Bryan. Another Thrasher that hasn't shown up on my blog enough.

I decided there isn't nearly enough Colby Armstrong love on here! Colby is a funny guy and I love funny guys. His 22 goals scored was pretty nice, too.





An extra Army shot for my husband's buddy. Mr. Sunshine is out of town meeting some new friends and one of them is a Pens fan who, of course, still likes Army.


If you want more than pictures and dumb jokes about Army, check out Bird Watchers Anonymous' post on how Army is the Thrashers most valuable forward at even strength:

As always, if you have a request for Photo of the Day, let me know. Chances are, I probably have a picture of what you are looking for. The only teams I didn't see last season was LA, Anaheim, Edmonton, Dallas and Phoenix.

I decided that there is entirely too little Ron Hainsey around here lately.

Woo Hoo there is light at the end of the tunnel....preseason is about 6 weeks away.


Here is Thorburn getting in a little preseason scrum with Darren McCarty.

Our big Finn, Kari Lehtonen had surgery last week for a herniated disc. He is expected to be at training camp. We have our fingers crossed. Speedy recovery, Karpa!

Some Gwinett Gladiator love. Looks like I'll be able to go to opening night thanks to the long road trip for the Thrashers.

I saw Jordan described somewhere (can't remember where) as "an angry little ball of hate." Love it! I love Tootoo and yes I even have the Tootoo train whistle!
I have 3 trips I'm hoping to make to Nashville this season, but none of them I would be on their end taking pictures. I'll have to figure something out.

Wonder what Pekka is telling Dan? Probably something along the lines of "I'm taking your job, bitch."

The most beautiful arena you'll ever find in the middle of the hood.

A little goalie love for the Vesa fans.
