Jerks from the Stands: Thrashers, 12/8

It's hard to keep track of knee-jerk notes when you attend the game with your four year old son AND your 3 week old son.- Two words: Free and Wings
- The pre-game Kids Club festivities were a bit disorganized, perhaps they were not expecting as many to show up as they did. I was surprised at the number of participants. I didn't sign up our oldest until a few weeks after it started and his membership number is barely into the double digits.... as it turns out, there are about 500 members.
- Speaking of the Kids Club, the Caricature Artist was doing a great job.
- There was an autograph session with the Kids Club event, injured Boyd Gordon was one of the participants. He managed to fight through the cast on the hand to sign the kids' wares. I asked him how much longer he'll be on the shelf. He told me about two more weeks.
- The shot clock didn't work through the entire first period. Annoying.
- Black curtains still hang over the ends of the ribbon light boards around the bottom ring. What gives?
- The soccer "ole" song was not played after any of the six goals. The odd numbered goals got Kernkraft 400's "Zombie Nation" while the even numbered goals were celebrated to the chorus of Blur's "Song 2". The Fifth Line may be the only ones upset by the change.
- The team looked like they were playing together as a unit. Have we seen the "Boudreau System" clicking for the first time?
