No Hedberg just yet
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Was packed in to a big ol’ Boeing 767 with a bunch of hung over spring breakers coming back to reality this morning on the flight from Ft. Lauderdale to Atlanta. Got back just in time to grab players as they were leaving the practice ice in Duluth.
Hung around long enough to learn two things worth noting on a quick Sunday blog. One, Garnet Exelby will be representing the Thrashers tonight on a conference call with the NHLPA executive committee, where Ted Saskin and the alleged e-mail tampering debate will be discussed. It may ultimately lead to the removal of Saskin as executive director of the players’ association. Exelby said the e-mail stories he’s hearing, that basically says the NHLPA is monitoring the e-mail of its players, are all rumors and he hopes tonight’s conference call clears it up.
The other thing I learned is that we’ll see Kari Lehtonen in goal on Monday against Washington. I thought maybe this was a good spot to get Johan Hedberg some action, but I thought wrong.
