Thrashers' putrid D must improveAfter giving up the most shots and the most goals in the NHL last season, it's not hard to figure out where the Atlanta Thrashers have to improve first and foremost in 2008-09: on defense.

Flyers' Hartnell suspended two games for hitSomewhere, there is a good fairy walking around collecting reasons for the Philadelphia Flyers to be banned from hockey for a full season. Whether she ever appears, or whether Gary Bettman would know a good fairy from a hockey puck, is something we can only wonder about.
Goon hockey is back in PhillyThe Broad Street Bullies of the 70s weren't cowards. They met you face-to-face and you paid the price. This team hits you from behind -- sometimes with a stick -- and then runs away. Three times in a month. It's a disgrace.
