Need A Win? Play The Rangers!

Atlanta Thrashers, losers of all six of their games so far this young NHL season, are now up 4-0 on the Rangers in the 3rd period. Sure, they fired their coach after their last loss and have somebody new behind the bench, and yeah, I'm guessing they're still smarting after being swept out of their first ever playoff series by New York in April, but when a team that's supposed to be a powerhouse this year can't beat an 0-and-6 opponent on their way to establishing a 2-and-4 start themselves, you know something's not right.

It may be time for some heads to start rolling in the organization. Early season losses have a way of coming back to haunt you late in the year, if you end up in tough for a playoff spot. And how does a team finish so strong, supposedly improve itself in the off-season, and then have such a crappy start to the next season?
