THRASHERS OFF TO THE CONFERENCE FINALS!
Thrashers are off to the conference finals after beating Tampa Bay 4-3 in game 6 for a 4-2 series win. Jason Pominville lead the way with 1 G, 1 A. With the Thrashers trailing 3-2 late in the 3rd, Tverdovsky (who joined Exelby in this game as injury replacements for Staios and Hejda) and Pominville get goals to secure the win and the series.
Atlanta would like to congratulate Tampa Bay on a well played series and are looking forward to playing Buffalo in the conference finals.
"Tampa Bay had a great year and congrats to GM Droopy on putting together a good team. We have a ton of respect for Buffalo who we will play in the conference finals. They are a hot team right now and we look forward to the challenge." - Thrashers GM Sutaria
