Yep... first post

Lately I have stumbled upon the phenomenon of hockey "blogs." It's an interesting idea. I went to hockeyblogs.org and found that there's just a ton of hockey bloggers out there for almost every team. Now, I grew up in Flint, Michigan and have been a huge Red Wings fan since I was 9. My favorite player ever since I started watching hockey is Slava Kozlov. Naturally, I was bummed when he got traded to Buffalo in the summer of '01, but I have adjusted to a Kozzie-less Red Wings team. When Kozzie was traded to the Atlanta Thrashers during the 2002 Entry Draft, I became hooked on the team and never looked back. So, after checking out the Hockey Blogs site, I found that my Red Wings had 10 blogs dedicated to them, but none covering the Thrashers. So that's how this site was born.

I assume that if you're reading this, you're very well aware of the current lockout and that there isn't a whole lot of NHL news right now... but I will try to update with info about Thrashers players playing overseas and try to keep an eye on the Chicago Wolves (AHL) as well.
