Everyone misses the Atlanta thrashers, it’s just a question of if you realize it or not.

Not even Atlanta misses them

I do. Kovalchuk and Heatley were quite the pair.

Who??? You mean the second team to leave Atlanta? Nope they’re in Winnipeg where they belong.

I actually hope Atlanta gets another shot at a franchise. The only way the Nordiques will ever get a team is through the South.

Every single day. The team that got me into hockey and there were many memories made at Phillips Arena with my brother who has since passed.
But the NHL’s days in Atlanta are not done yet….

I still maintain hockey will work there if you have an ownership that isn’t run by a racist clown. It was the same guy that thought too many black fans were attending their NBA games. You can’t survive in a market by fundamentally rejecting the community in which you reside.

Yes. 8 year STH. And yes I know a large chunk of this sub howls with rage anytime Atlanta is mentioned as an expansion target. Hockey will succeed here with an ownership group that can afford to fund the club properly and is committed to the market. (That doesn’t include any Ted Turner relatives).

Definitely. I miss that logo I thought was a wooden bowl.

Might not be missing them for much longer.
I don’t really miss them per se, I think Winnipeg is a much better hockey market. Atlanta is a big city, they’ll probably get a team again by the sounds of things. Hopefully it works this time.
