lol Letang just laying around looking like a scrambled egg, Malkin blowing everything Karlsson worked for while also just sliding out of play on a massively blown tire, and then Crosby so fervently gesturing (and probably yelling) that he's coming off no matter what and not back checking only for his guy to get extra seconds and set up the OT winner.

I loved the Thrashers. They had a cool look, I f***ing loved the time they did that asymmetrical home jersey
and while they were direct competitors it was hard to hate them. Some great games, some amazing fights, both with us and others. I loved the Erskine/Brashear/Thorburn thing and they've got a hell of a knockout compilation, we all still sort of love the Evander Kane/Matt Cooke beating. Kovalchuk and Ovechkin being direct competitors as well as friends was like icing on the cake, they were hard fought but left on the ice battles.
It sounds more and more like the people that owned the Hawks wanted to try to burn them down on purpose (no pun intended) and they ended up the red-headed step-child of their own ownership more than something they actually tried to make work but didn't.
I'd love another Atlanta team, they were like the Caps' little brother that we (or I) enjoyed loving to compete with. Hell, I don't often make EA NHL franchises with the Capitals because I have emotional attachment, so I'd often rebuild Atlanta when they were a thing.
I despised the name and all of those jerseys. If somehow they get a third chance start fresh.Make Atlanta Skate Again

That's the thing, the more I've been hearing on this from fans that seem to know what's up, the second one was not an abject failure, it was literally tanked by the ownership group on purpose to make the Hawks the best ticket in town/their arena/portfolio.
Most of the elements were not great but I personally liked the sleeve distinction on the home jerseys. Asymmetry in design is so infrequent and I really enjoyed that part
Atlanta is a terrible sports town. Full stop.
I've written them off and gotten sucked back in a couple times. I LOVE eating crow.
Yeah he's probably going to be either seriously injured or in the KHL soon. Can't imagine many GMs are ok with that.
Yes. Never bet against NHL GMs being seduced by fringe psychos who aren’t good at hockey
It’s very easy to not cheer for the Hurricanes…..
Or him in general. He lost every ounce of affection and compassion I had for him over the last few years. f*** that guy in particular.
I was probably one of his biggest critics here the past 3 years, but I just don’t care to feel anger toward the guy. He’s either got real problems, or he’s incredibly immature still. I feel sorry for him honestly. But cheer for him, playing for the Canes, F that noise….
