About The Atlanta Thrashers
Although the team continued to play well throughout the seasons, they stayed away from winning an award before 2006. It was very inportant for them to raise the team standard. They felt the necessity of some quality players, so that, they could play the playoffs in 2005-06 season. They signed Mike Dunham, Peter Bondra, Bobby Holik, Jaroslav Modry and Scott Mellanby. The team earned a club-record of winning 41 games in the season 2005-06. The Thrashers got a chance to play against the Carolina Hurricanes in the first game of an event telecasted by a new American Channel, Sport South on October 13, 2006. But they failed to win the game.
