Thrashers Fan's team
So, I don't really follow this hockey thing. I follow, in order, MLB, Premier League, WRC, Bundesliga and F1. That's it. So I got that Thrasher's Fan was some big hockey fan, but I thought that the Thrashers were some minor league hockey team or the nickname for some NHL team I had heard of, like the Minnesota North Stars or the Winnipeg Jets. It wasn't until I saw her new 'tar that I realized that the Atlanta Thrashers are an NHL team.
Anyway, now that I get the reference, what the hell is a thrasher? Is that some kind of fish or something? Is that what a Southerner becomes when NASCAR isn't on?
P.S. Is there some kind of good article by King Kaufman or some general interest sports writer that tells me why professional hockey has any sort of redeeming sporting qualities? Because I get that the level of athleticism is awesome and all that, but they keep fighting all the time, and there are no real consequences. It's like watching professional wrestling.
[1] I don't want to hear any shit about me belittling Southerners, because I have complete Southern cred. Two words: Bi-Lo.
