VS 
Thrashers Quarter finals- CPHL Stanley Cup preview!
Vs the Carolina Hurricanes led by GM Doug Whalen aka Hanna Sniper
Team 1 (Thrashers) vs Team 7 (Hurricanes)
Thrashers played the Hurricanes twice during the 2005/2006 season, outscoring the Canes by a 7-3 margin with each team winning one game each.
Anson Carter was the best player on either team with 2 goals and 2 assists for 4 points. Fortunately for the Thrashers Carter appears to be the hottest player on the team in the playoffs. Hopefully his magic will continue in round 2.
Anson eats baby Hurricanes

Intangibles
The Thrashers came out of Round 1 vs the Buffalo Sabres suffering a major season ending injury to starting and the CPHLs best goalie Patrick Lalime and still nursing his way back to health is 44 goal scorer Bill Guerin...a huge chunk of the teams offence in the regular season.
The Canes are without Doug Weight who has a pulled groin muscle, but could be ready for game 1 on Thursday.
The Thrashers will have to rely heavily on their defence and get more scoring by committee, unless Guerin is cleared to play by Thursday.
Coach and GM Peterson isnt worried putting Snow in nets as he has performed admirably during the season posting a 10-5 record and a better save % than Lalime at 2.30GAA.
Guerin not sure if hell be ready for Thursday
Lalime lost for playoffs
Thrashers have never met the Canes in the playoffs.
