Pregame, vs. NY Rangers, Mar. 16
Posted by talkingthrash on March 16, 2007
The Moose is loose! Johan Hedberg is in goal tonight for the Thrashers when the New York Rangers come into town. The Rangers are in desperate need of points because they are in the logjam for the last playoff spot in the East.
The Thrashers lost last night in Philly and play the second half of the back to back tonight.
The Rangers have played an incredible 7 straight games that have been decided by one goal, going 4-1-2 in the games.
Tonight is Nascar Night at Philips. There was not a morning skate so there aren’t any changes to report.
