draft picks this year were Zach Bogosian, Daultan Leveille, Danick Paquette, Vinny Saponara, Nicklas Lasu, Christopher Cardozzi and Zach Redmond. All the choices young Spry from a number of leagues that included OHL Peterborough and Mississauga St. Michael's, GHL St. Catharines, QMJHL Lewiston, USA USDP U-18 SWE-JR. Frolunda Jr. and the Ferris State CCHA. Should be interesting to see Redmond born in Texas on the ice.

The list seems as forwards Colby Armstrong Eric Boulton Erik Christensen Joseph Crabb, Ilya Kovalchuk, Vyacheslav Kozlov, Bryan Little, Eric Perrin, Rich Peverly, Marty Reasoner, Jim Slater, Chris Thorburn and Todd White. Defenders include Zach Bogosian Tobias Enstrom, Garnet Exelby, Ron Hainsey, Niclas Havelid, Nathan Oystrick, Mathieu Schneider and Boris Valabik. Guardians of attendance are Johan Hedberg and Kari Lehtonen. With only Exelby on the injured list, there is strength and safety in numbers for the Thrashers.

Safety in numbers or not, coaches are led by head coach John Anders, who has won five championships for Atlanta during the 13 seasons he has served. Accompanying Anderson are on the side coaching assistant coach Randy Cunneyworth, assistant coach Todd Nelson, assistant coach Steve Weeks and video coach Tony Borgford. Training of staff on hand includes strength and conditioning coach Ray Bear, head athletic trainer Tommy Alva, assistant athletic trainer and massage therapist Stephen Roberts Inar Treiquts. Personal equipment is represented by the head equipment manager Bobby Stewart, assistant equipment manager Joe Guilmet and equipment assistant Jim Guilmet.

And which team would be complete without a good medical staff? The Thrashers have doctors Scott Gillogly, William Whaley, Ched Garten, oral surgeons and dentists Glenn Maron and Lawrence Saltzman Brett Silverman. Thank you!

Although the series of victories Thrashers took a flight of many recent events, it is time the season left to see exactly what it is. This month, Thrasher has one more game at home against the Islanders and two away games against the Stars and hurricanes. During February, the Jester will host the Devils, Blackhawks, Avalanche and Hurricanes at home. After that, they will take the road and on the ice against the Rangers, Lightning, Ducks, Kings, Coyotes, Sharks and Capitals away games.

In March, the Thrashers can make it at home with games against the Panthers, Canadiens, Flames, Capitals, Red Wings, Rangers and Senators. Seems more than enough opportunity to pick the winning streak again and run. On the road this month, the Thrashers will be the next Don of visitors to the ice against the Avalanche, Oilers, Sabres, Penguins, Lightning and Canadians.

With the end of the 2008-2009 NHL season on hand in April, the Thrashers will play most of their home games against the Sabres, Capitals, Panthers and Lightning. To complete the season in April, Thrashers and Panthers will take on the Capitals.

With comments by the players themselves that the recent loss to the Flyers was negligence on the part of their own team, the fans expect more in the future.
