Shifts

Chris Vivlamore, writing about the second day of Thrashers training camp:

Ramsay is switching Bryan Little to center and Rich Peverely to right wing.

Oh my! I've long been an advocated of moving Little to center, but I'm not sure about this Peverley-as-wing business. 'Twere I the coach, I'd have Little and Peveley as our top two centers and move Antropov to right wing. But thank goodness I'm not an NHL coach so what do I know, etc.

Also in Vivlamore's report: today Coach Ramsay tried to teach the Thrashers how to make indirect passes by bouncing the puck off the boards. He said this effort was "inordinately unsuccessful."
