Senators vs Thrashers

[manny]

The Thrashers host the Ottawa Senators (http://www.nhl.com/scores/previews/581_2_preview.html) for the first time this season when the two teams collide at 3 p.m. (http://www.atlantathrashers.com/View.aspx?CID01=ccca923f-62dd-45a7-a98c-9ad747486d56) at Philips Arena. Former Senators Greg de Vries and Marian Hossa will face their old teammates for the first since being acquired for Dany Heatley in August. Heatley currently sits second on the Thrashers' all-time points list while Marian Hossa is third in career scoring for the Senators. The Thrashers are coming off a 5-2 New Year's Day win over Washington (http://www.nhl.com/scores/recaps/575_2_recap.html) while the Senators have won four straight games.

It'll be interesting to see how the crowd responds to Dany's return to Atlanta.

It'll be interesting to see how the crowd responds to Dany's return to Atlanta.

i am also interested to see their reaction!

[manny]

I'm betting he is booed since he requested a trade.

[shmuck]

I hope he isnt booed. I really like Atlanta and I rather happy to see him leave for something better in Ottawa.

[manny]

I must say I'm not to thrilled with him requesting a trade, after Atlanta embraced him after the accident.

[manny]

Garnett in goal for the Thrashers, and the back up (8-1-1) in goal for the Senators.

Bobby Holik is out for the game.

Can't blame him for wanting a trade though.

Senators are killing the Thrashers all over the ice. But still no score 5 minutes in.

Hossa shorthanded Goal...........................3-0

[manny]

3-0 Atlanta after 1 period

[pennstpat]

They're absolutely killing the Senators right now. Beating them to the puck, out muscling them on defense, and shooting the lights out. Hossa's goal was nothing but pretty.

[manny]

they flipped the switch

[manny]

Hossa came to play today, GOaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllll
