Thrashers vs Flyers

This game kicked off back-to-back games against the Philadelphia Flyers. Phillips Arena was, as usual, filled with fans of the other team.


I brought Moose a sign that referred to the last game against Ottawa Senators where a referee allowed a goal on a blatant goalie interference. Johan lost his mind and later apologized for his behavior.



That wasn't the only sign I had at the game. I had my "Moose: Department of Blueland Security." It made it on tv!! My signs are celebrities!! (Thanks Michelle for catching that for me)



Warm Ups!


Jimmy stretching out. Laperriere watches. Maybe he's thinking "Isn't that the chick that had the It's All About Lappy shirt on last time?"





Moose working on his side-to-side.





Stupid blurry picture. Pavs was looking right at me!





Chelios puts a puck on Pavs.





Moose unmasked! After taking shots Moose either skates back and forth on the blue line or chats with goalies he might know.





Pavs chatting with Oskars Bartulis. I noticed them chatting at the morning skate as well.





Oskars is checking out my signs.





Max getting in the zone.





Little Nicky...Bryan Little and Niklas Antropov.





Swarming the goalie.



First Period!







It was a chippy night, lots of pushing and shoving, several discussions and 2 fights. Slater got things going by introducing himself to Carcillo.





Jimmeh!





The refs breaking up the action.





Taking some action to Boucher.





Next Lappy and Boultsie decide to dance.





These are two gladiators that fight by the code.





Lappy goes down, Boultsie is done. Good fight, guys.





I guess they wanted new dance partners, Boulton and Carcillo squawk at each other in the box.





Ron Hainsey got things started early with a goal.





More pushing and shoving.





Nasty ol Scotty Hartnell in Moose's crease.





Get off of the Moose!





Boulton skated over and moved his arms up and down in the universal sign for "you chicken." (you know hands in arm pits and flap your arms) I think it was directed at Carcillo. I didn't get a picture of it though.





AGH! Army how did that not go in??





There it is! There it is! (I actually yelled that)





Boucher kicking the puck out.





Slater getting up in Boucher's grill. A few minutes later Boucher gave him a little "nut meg." Gotta expect that when you get up on the goalies.





That damn Hartnell is back. He's gonna give Moose fleas.





Chaos.





It's a bird...it's a plane...

The Thrashers came out strong and took an early lead of 2-0.


Second Period!


Blurry! I wasn't even drinking!





Ewww, don't get that nasty hair around my lovely Swedes!





Bergfors taking it around the net.





WTF is up lately with the classy fans? Rangers, Sabres and now the Flyers and none of them have flipped off the kiss cam. Well done!





Chaos in front of Boucher.





Boucher makes a save on Slater.





Good luck trying to see around that big ass, Boucher.





Nice glove save by Boucher. If you look in his glove, you can see the puck.

No scoring in the second, we go into the third period still up 2-0.


Third period!







Moose makes a save.





Please please PLEASE let them go. I'd love to see a Artyukhin vs Pronger match.





Bergfors has a posse, Beth had the idea for the sign first though. I have to say the storm trooper masks are a nice touch.





More discussions in front of the net. It looks like Leino got punched in the nose or something.





Todd will help!





Bergy is determined to get a goal!


Bergy doesn't though. Some other guy named Peverley does though! Mike Richards gave us a bit of a scare when he scored for Philly, but Thrashers still won 3-1!


The guys were traveling that night so there was no post game show guest.
