Nobody goes to games there anyway, they could play at a local rink and get the same crowd.

Why won't they move this team to Canada. Gary Bettman is an idiot and hates Canadian hockey fans. We have only 6 teams, sure we don't have the population of the USA but we can support a team. Almost every Canadian team sells out and has a huge fan base. Please let us have more teams..it is in fact our game..

I haven't read much on it, but I thought the tornado was outside the city. Plus, an NCAA game was just delayed because of it so I would assume that the Thrashers would still be able to play.

I believe Phillips Arena was unaffected in any real way. The Georgia Dome was damaged, but not the Phillips Arena.
