When it comes to hockey, recently the Atlanta Thrashers have been dominating. They have been on a six game winning streak, which is amazing, especially for the Thrashers. Everything was going fine until Sydney Crosby swooped in with a hat trick* this past week to end their six game winning streak :( The final score was 2 to 3 with the Thrashers only losing by one goal. ( I would just like to point out that offense man Evander Kane, who had played in the past six games they Thrashers won, was missing due to an injury when they played Pittsburgh, and look at that, they lost....interesting.) Some people say after losing to the Pittsburgh Penguins the Thrashers couldn't come back, however, the Thrashers proved them wrong...
This past Saturday the Thrashers came back and beat the Washington Capitals and they didn't even have the home "ice" advantage! With a lot of help from Dustin Byfuglien (pronounced Buff-lin) and and a fairly recent addition to the team, the 18 year old Russian, Alexander Burmistrov. The Thrashers look like they have got a successful season ahead of them, only time will tell.
*hat trick - three goals in one game by the same person
