Talk:Atlanta Thrashers

List of Atlanta Thrashers players

There is a List of Atlanta Thrashers players. When you add players to the Thrashers main article, could you also add the same players to the list article as well. Thanks! Masterhatch 8 August 2005

Are there any Thrasher fans who want to work on the List of Atlanta Thrashers players? --Sparkhurst 03:58, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

2005-06 Roster Scratch

Moved to "current squad" in article ccwaters 21:32, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Heh, Kozlov just might have wanted to be known by his real name (which I've been seeing used for years). "Slava" is a standard style Russian diminutive of "Vyacheslav", much like "Johnny" or "Bobby" are standard diminutives. RGTraynor 12:04, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, that's what I thought. First time I've noticed it ccwaters 21:32, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Also, J.P. Vigier's true name is Jean-Pierre Vigier. He may want to go by his true name instead of the abbreviation.

Ok... are you just speculating that he may decide this sometime down the road or as he actuall asked to be referred to by Jean-Pierre. If he has, than the league, the team, the nhlpa and media will abide as demonstrated with Kozlov and Nabakov (twice). Its not up to us to decide. ccwaters 01:05, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Current Roster

Note: Mellanby, Havelid, and Modry were added to the team last off-season, 2004, not 2005.

That's nice, but what's the point of linking to a season that didn't happen? Any, I reverted Bondra back for the umpteenth time. Do you see a pattern here? I've pointed you to the correct forum to discuss it multiple times. Go there to express your views (and yes I think they are very valid). We've discussed these issues before and came to a decision, but that doesn't mean we won't change our mind. Bondra is a wierd one. Kolzig is a wierd one (born in S. Africa to German parents and raised in Canada). Brett Hull is a wierd one (US's hockey golden boy was born in Canada). ccwaters 19:44, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Where's Byron Dafoe?

Is Dafoe still with the Thrashers? if not ,where can he be? Mightberight/wrong 20:24, 27 October 2005

Dafoe's an unsigned unrestricted free agent. RGTraynor 07:55, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Flags

The consensus at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Ice_Hockey/Team_pages_format#Player_nationalities seems to be that nation of birth is used in all but the most obvious situations where it would be misleading. Since Peter Bondra moved from Ukraine to Slovakia at age 3, and plays for Slovakian teams, I think it's pretty obvious he's Slovakian.24.64.223.203 09:59, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

But the flag corresonds to the birthplace, not where he lives. Currently, they all live in Canada or U.S., So they should all have american of canadian flag?

Bondra's flag. *sigh*

(begin ranting) Yes, he was born in the Ukraine. But birthplace doesn't always determine nationality or allegiance. He's on the Slovak Olympic team. Hence Slovakian flag. Not Ukraine. Looks like someone changed it to Slovakia while I was preparing this message. Nice to see someone realizes this. (end ranting) --Buchanan-Hermit™..CONTRIBS..SPEAK!. 02:44, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Speaking of Bondra, he needs to hurry up and resign with the finals destined ThrashersO-TOWN'S AT 22:10, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

He's not planning on it. Minfo 05:06, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

man, how many of these captains are messed up?

I mean really. Dany Heatley is the main captain for Atlanta. Good thing theres an edit button. thank god. --Bennyenhuis 18:59, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

That'd be perfect... if only Heatley was still with the team. ;) Buchanan-Hermit™..SCREAM!!!.... 19:16, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Heatley was never a captain of the Thrashers. Just an alterate captain. GoodDay 01:33, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Mascot

WHY does the Thrasher section look like advertising? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.41.213.180 (talk • contribs) 18:11, October 19, 2006.

Team name inspiration

I've come across many people who are unaware that the team is named after the Georgia state bird, the Thrasher, and are unaware the type of bird in the logo, so to help try to end this confusion, should an image of a thrasher be placed on the page? The Devils' page has an image of a Jersey Devil, as their team's name inspiration. --David7581 02:19, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Jersey images

Since we know every NHL team is required to change their jersey design this year, should we change the "present" in the years of the jerseys to 2007? --David7581 02:21, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Why is this included?

I have not edited this but wouldn't statements like this:

"This is again due to a complete lack of talent with the possible exception of Ilya Kovalchuk, the young Russian who alone, has managed to keep the team alive."

be against the rules? This is a personal opinion stated as fact. It is also simply not true as the statement in question is in regards to a team that made the playoffs which WOULD mean the team does have talent and there is zero justification to state that one player in Ilya Kovalchuk has managed to "keep the team alive".

These comments are not needed in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.37.4.38 (talk) 15:04, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Similarly, this is hardly NPOV: "(This was not helped by the fact that Patrick Stefan turned out to be one of the biggest failures in NHL History)". Thoughts? (GLG 01/08/08) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.133.131.34 (talk) 20:42, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. I suspect several of the team articles require a serious looking over. I'll remove those blatantly POV editorials. If you see anything more, feel free to remove, or alter them to a more NPOV tone. Resolute 21:12, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Penguins Edits

Whoever added our new acquisitions to the Atlanta roster and edited the profiles... You Rock!!

I'll add all the stats and such in later tonight so they have all of the info down we're trying to assemble for Thrashers players. Probably from NHL.com.
