Waddell’s ruse: genius or revisionism?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Just curious what everyone thinks of Don Waddell saying his playoff guarantee was a ruse to throw attention off of Ilya Kovalchuk’s illegal sticks and the team’s seven-game losing streak.
Since then, the Thrashers have won five of seven. Do you think that was a bit of revisionist history, or do you believe what he says and that the move was calculated the whole time?
If so, do you think it helped to alleviate pressure off the team and enable the winning you see now?
Or is it just a completely irrelevant side issue, as the Thrashers would have resumed winning regardless?
