Thrashers Have Had A Disappointing First Half

from Mike Knobler of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution,
John Anderson didn’t expect his first half season as the Thrashers’ coach to be like this.
“There’s no words to describe the disappointment,” Anderson said....
“We’ve not given up,” Anderson said. “You’d be surprised how quick things can turn around. It’s just getting on track and maybe getting a couple of lucky breaks.”…
Mathieu Schneider, 39, and Niclas Havelid, 35, are in the final year of their contracts. Exelby, 27, also could be traded. Any deal involving Schneider would have to bring enough of a salary in return to keep the Thrashers over the NHL’s payroll floor.
“Obviously, there’s a chance I could be moved at the deadline, but that’s something I really don’t think about,” Schneider said. “You have to live in the moment. If you start thinking about those things, it affects your performance on the ice.”

What was he expecting? The thrashers have been a joke for as long as I can remember. Did he think losing hossa would make them better? Its funny, though, if they shore up their defence a bit, and get a secondary scoring threat they can become a play off team. I guess thats a lot to ask for though.
