Two Games In

It's very hard to say where the Thrashers might be headed this season. Other than out to California for a difficult road trip, that is.

Saturday night's game against the Lightning didn't go very well, obviously, but people should take away one overwhelming Good Thing from that game: Craig Ramsay's awesome orange shirt and tie. The man is a sharp dresser, folks, much sharper than John Anderson ever was. I'd even go so far as to say he's the best-dressed coach the Thrashers have ever had.

Friday's home opener was exciting and emotional, but even then I couldn't get too carried away, given our history of home opener victories (many of them blowouts).

What should we expect? Hell if we know.

Oh, and speaking of exciting and emotional: part of your Chronicle was present at yesterday's Braves game. Your TBC editor can honestly say he's never been that ecstatic at a sporting event, nor more dejected. I think I'm traumatized for life. Oh, and Brooks Conrad, the poor man, has become our favorite new metaphor.

ALSO: Your editor really, REALLY enjoyed the blaxploitation/"release the Kraken" video that took the place of "Unleash the Fury" at the home opener. Genius stuff. Really.

"What do should we except?"

Was this sentence purposely fucked up beyond recognition because we are so befuddled by what to think / expect of the Thrashers at this point in the season?

I expect the shaved head from Ramsay all week and lots of wet, greasy locks from Bogey, Thorbs, Sopes Star and eventually Hainsey and Antropov. I think we'll have a mullet from Antro in due time.

That's what I "except" for the coming weeks. JMHO!

Oh, yes, that should've been "expect," maybe. My head is honestly still spinning from the Braves game.

HAPPY COLUMBUS DAY, EVERYONE.
