Icy topic: How much longer will the Thrashers be in Atlanta? 12:12 pm April 13, 2010, by Mark Bradley (AJC) blogs.ajc.com/mark-bradley-blog/files/2010/04/slideshow_766489_ten.jpgJohn Anderson and Slava Kozlov are both pictured here. (AJC photo by Jessica McGowan) Perhaps you’re fascinated by this whole John Anderson/Slava Kozlov back and forth. Or perhaps you have no idea who John Anderson and Slava Kozlov are. I submit that more Atlantans fall under the latter heading. I submit more folks around here have forgotten the Thrashers even exist. (For the record: The Thrashers are the Atlanta entry in the National Hockey League. Hockey is played on ice. The players skate and carry implements known as hockey sticks, with which they attempt to move a small rubberized disk known as a puck.) This leads me to today’s question(s): Given that the Thrashers traded their franchise player a while back and just finished 28th in a 30-team league in attendance, how much longer do you think they’ll be in Atlanta? Will the Spirit, as has long been rumored, sell the team to somebody who’ll then move it to Canada? (See, Canadians like hockey.) Or will these owners bite the bullet and and keep financing a team that has been in operation since 1999 and still hasn’t won a playoff game? I’ll go first. Just guessing, I’d give the Thrashers one more year in Atlanta. And with that I’ll hang up and listen to your responses. Assuming there are any.
