Get ready to rumble
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
OK, I’m back. And just in time for the most game-intensive stretch of the season.
The Thrashers play six games in nine days, bookended by a a pair of on-the-road back-to-backs. Tuesday and Wednesday in Toronto and Washington followed by Friday vs. Nashville, Sunday vs. St. Louis and Tuesday and Wednesday in Montreal and Ottawa. My fingers get tired just typing it.
(My quads already are tired from Sunday’s marathon. I finished in 3:33, five minutes off my personal best, six minutes off my goal pace, but at least a good bit of exercise on a beautiful day in Philadelphia. Thanks for the well wishes in my previous blog post. Next race: Callaway Gardens, during all-star weekend.)
With so many games in so few days, there should be a chance for Joey Crabb’s NHL debut, plus a game or two for Boris Valabik. The plan is to put Johan Hedberg in net on Tuesday and Ondrej Pavelec on Wednesday.
