Seriously, someone took this team, tied them up somewhere, and replaced them with stiffs that would be hard up to make the ECHL. Atlanta isn't a playoff team, they're just a team that got enough points to qualify for the playoffs.
It doesn't even look like they care tonight. Lehtonen is being hung out to dry. Hossa, Kovy, and Kozlov have been invisible all series.
Expect the brooms tomorrow night.
I get worried that the Thrashers didn't play well enough to prepare the Rangers for what the might face in the second round, should they move on.
You're looking at Buffalo, Ottawa, or Jersey, so you'll probably lose anyway...
Atlanta at its best is a playoff team. Atlanta at its worst is, well, what you saw last night. This team has been remarkably streaky all year. Extreme highs followed by extreme lows. We managed to hit our all time extreme low at the WRONG time of the year. Garbage. Put us out of our misery.
