Last Thrashers Game 2009-2010 Season
Last night was the Thrashers last game of the season. It was a great game to end the season. We played the Pittsburgh Penguins. Not only did we win, it was a shut-out. Then there were the fights. There was a so-so one with Boulton. He had a few good punches. THE fight was Kane and Cook. I think it took one good punch and Kane K.O'd Cooke. Cooke hit the ice HARD. They brought the stretcher out but he eventually skated off the ice himself. Here is an awesome picture from a Thrasher's fan of the Kane punch...
We had a good crew at the game. There was Darrell, Jesse, Josh, Kyle, Zach, Steve, Liz, Joel, de-Tag, Valorie and me. I also got to see Steve P., Joe P, Alex and Jay at the game.
This was Valorie's first hockey game and I think we have a fan.
We started out the night at Taco Mac. It was Steve's (Darrell's brother) birthday. Taco Mac has a sweet set-up. There is an entrance from Taco Mac to Philips Arena and you can actually take a to-go drink into the arena (non-alcoholic). Dinner was quick for Valorie and me since it took a while to get seated. I wanted her to see the warm-up down near the glass.
After warm up's we headed up to the seats. There was a 50% off on jersey's so Darrell picked him up a new blue jersey and he got me a yellow practice jersey. I had been looking at them all year.
It was a great game to watch and there was much fun to be had...
Josh's Thrashers Mullet wig made the rounds...
The whole gang!

Stormtrooper at the Braves and Trivia Nights: Catching Up!
Sorry I have been absent lately. I had some medical issues last week and have spent this week catching up with stuff from last week. I need less stuff!
Now to catch up the blog! Hmmmm, we have had two Trivia Nights, we'll save save those for last. Don't like to dwell on it so I will start with Zach, Josh and Kyle's trip to Turner Field. You remember Zach. He is our Star Wars Sports guy. He arranged for the 501st to appear at a GSU game and was the first of the Crew to wear a TK helmet at a Thrashers game. Well, this past week he donned the TK helmet for a Braves game. Here are some pictures from their adventure along with an email Zach sent to me.
TK at the Braves. Horrible game. Lots of kids and others wanting pictures though.
Got on the big screen. Twice. In fact, the first time, it was really REALLY long. I ran out of dance moves so I looked at my "watch" and gestured that I was done.
I'll try to get Braves Vision to get a copy of the tape. I think it's possible.
One of the coolest things was when I got my picture with Homer the Brave (mascot) and he dragged us off into the bowels of Cartoon Network. They have a photo-op area with the background being Clone Wars.
Neato. Oh, it was retro hat give away too.
And my favorite picture: Kyle, Zach and Josh.
Trivia Night for the last two weeks. All I have to say is good food, great friends and really, REALLY crappy trivia. The pictures tell it all.
Darrell, Kyle, Alex, Jed, Jesse and Zach
There some new people at the last Trivia Night so please forgive if I get names wrong or mis-spelled. Just let me know, Jesse.
Jed, Darrell, Alex, Jesse, Katherine, Kyle and Mike. Blaine didn't make the picture.
We are working on Mike's sad face.
