Nightly Scrap: Isles lose 13th straight game
There has to be a point where the New York Islanders pick up a win. Last night seemed like the perfect time to break out of their funk, facing an Atlanta Thrashers team that has picked up only 21 points in as many games. However, the Thrashers showed the Isles just how much better they [...]

Saturday, November 20, 2010
The Atlanta Thrashers beat the Washington Capitals 5-0 last night in one of many upset victories.

Offensive Corps: Nik Antropov led the Thrashers in scoring and firmly established himself as a legitimate number one center in the NHL–although probably a second liner on your fantasy team. The hulking center scored 24 goals and 67 points while mostly playing with Maxim Afinogenov and Ilya Kovalchuk. He played excellently after Kovalchuk moved to [...]
