Well, it obviously didn't go through. Saturday I had gone to the Atlanta Thrashers home opener with my cousin Aaron. I had taken a picture with my phone during warmups and tried sending it from the arena. I thought it had gone through but I never did get a confirmation back saying that it had posted. Turns out, it's because it hadn't! I'm at work right now and do not have a cell signal in my building but after work, I'll try posting that pic again. Was a great game. Thrashers ended up winning 8-1 over the Washington Capitals. They were up 5-1 in the third period with about 10 mins to go. At that point there was a pretty cool fight. Actually there were 3 different fights going on at the same time. One fight even ended up underneath a goalie net. After the fight Aaron and I left for the Marta (same as the Metro-Link for those of you back in MO.). While waiting for the train I got a text message with the final score. The Thrashers had scored 3 more times in those last 7-10 minutes. Oh well, at least it wasn't like Washington came back to win it or something.

Oh, interesting note for those of you that follow Blues hockey. Found out that a couple ex-Blues now play for Atlanta. Scott Mellanby and Ronald Petrovicky. Mellanby had at least 1 goal and an assist in the game and he is actually the Thrashers' captain as well. Hmm, maybe I can do like I did with getting a Drew Cardinals jersey to wear to Braves games. I can get an old Scott Mellanby Blues jersey to wear to Thrashers games!!
