Hossa and Lehtonen headed to Dallas
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
How about a little good Thrashers news? Marian Hossa will represent the Thrashers in the All-Star game next Wednesday as a reserve, and goalie Kari Lehtonen will be playing the NHL’s YoungStars game the day before. Both said it’s an honor to recognized at that level. It’s Hossa’s fourth time on the All-Star team, his last coming in 2004. It’s his first as a member of the Thrashers.
The team cancelled its morning skate at the arena this morning, but met as a team. You have to wonder how much a factor fatigue will be this point in the road trip. The Thrashers flew out of Atlanta immediately after the overtime loss to Phoenix over a week ago, and haven’t been back since. But this game is a big one, and it should be another playoff-like atmosphere tonight in Carolina.
