MSG is a bit more subdued this evening. Some fans around me are a bit nervous about how the Thrashers are going to come out of the gate. Others think we've totally lost our focus and forgotten how to play. We'll know soon, won't we?

It'll be interesting to see how this crowd reacts if the Thrashers can actually have a lead for the first time in this series. If they an score first and hold off New York for a while they might manage to calm the crowd. Four minutes until faceoff. Instead of VanMassenhoven we've got Hasenfratz reffing the game. That ought to work out well. What's the over/under on when the first misconduct gets handed out?
