For the first time ever the Atlanta Thrashers have won the Southeast division and will play for the Stanley Cup!
I’m extremely psyched about the Thrashers this year, if they can keep up their intensity in the playoffs they have a very good shot. They’ve played some great games against some very tough teams. They’ve finally got the special teams going a little better with the additions of Tkachuk and Zhitnik, as well as picking up Belanger
Last week at the game Belanger shattered the glass with rifle shot!
I look forward to a good playoff against the NY Rangers. I know it will be gut-renching at times, but I believe in Blueland!

….you lose some.
Well this weekend could have ended up a little better than I had hoped. It’s hard to watch your teams lose in such hard fought battles. But at least I came out with one victory (the one that really matters most), the Georgia Bulldogs.
First the Falcons
Whitney and I went to the Falcons game on Sunday when we took on the Patriots. Coming off of last year I would have thought they might have killed us, but the way they have played recently I thought we had a shot in this one. It didn’t start out good that Vick wasn’t in, but Matt Scaub is still a damn good QB. People like Michael Irvin saying on ESPN that there’s no way the Falcons can win with Schaub have no idea what they’re talking about. This isn’t like when we had Doug Johnson and when Vick went down we’re done for. Schaub can actually play and we still have the team to take anybody in the NFL on.
We ended up losing on a field goal from New England at the very end of the game…it proved pretty devastating, and we had fought back to tie it and had a real chace to take them down.
I also have to say that those officials are some of the worst I’ve seen in the NFL, they should all be fired after that game. Some of the calls (and no-calls) they made are just inexcusable.

Well Georgia faces Tennessee this weekend which is always one of the biggest of the year. This time it’s just as big as we’re both in the hunt for the SEC, and this win may be the deciding factor in who will go to the championship.
We’ve got the team to take them on, the question is can we perform?
We have to play as good, if not better than we’ve played all year. If we can match what we brought to the Boise State game then we’ll be sitting pretty on top of the SEC East and ride it on into December. But if we try to pull what we did against South Carolina or even Mississippi State, we’ll be flattened.

Well the Braves came into game two against Houston with one thought in mind, this is a must win. They would be going back to play in Houston and being two games down just wasn’t going to cut it. Oh yeah, they also have to win this game facing one of the greatest pitchers of all time, Roger Clemens.
And what’s the best way to combat “The Rocket”? Bring back good ol’ John Smoltz and put him on the mound for one of the best post-season pitching match ups ever.
I went into this game knowing it would be something special and would make or break the rest of the post-season for the Braves. They needed good playing all around and that’s what they brought.
After Smoltz’s battle in the first inning the Braves took over and showed why they have won 14 consecutive division titles. They proved why they play in the postseason every year.
