Everyone misses the Atlanta thrashers, it’s just a question of if you realize it or not.
Nashville_Redditors
Not even Atlanta misses them
Old-Donkey-3
No
RustyMacbeth
No. Not even one bit.
GoStlBlues67
I do. Kovalchuk and Heatley were quite the pair.
MichealangeloRetardo
No but the flames on the other hand yes
mymar101
Thanks to them I used to get games locally

SawsageKingofChicago
It’s such a weird combination of great colors and awful logos

No

They need a new name if Atlanta ever gets another team. Third time’s the charm?
gilmour316
I was always an Atlanta Flames guy myself…
LordDarthAngst
Nope.
Chungo420lol
Nope
witwar101
Yep. But Atlanta has blown it twice..
asparagusbruh
They always felt so out of place for some reason so I think it’s okay they moved on imo
tfirx
I mean… I’m kinda glad they left.
OppositeJellyfish439
I miss Byfuglien.
fight_fire_with_wood
Who??? You mean the second team to leave Atlanta? Nope they’re in Winnipeg where they belong.
Sam_Soper
I actually hope Atlanta gets another shot at a franchise. The only way the Nordiques will ever get a team is through the South.

Every single day. The team that got me into hockey and there were many memories made at Phillips Arena with my brother who has since passed.
But the NHL’s days in Atlanta are not done yet….
sausagepizzabaker
I still maintain hockey will work there if you have an ownership that isn’t run by a racist clown. It was the same guy that thought too many black fans were attending their NBA games. You can’t survive in a market by fundamentally rejecting the community in which you reside.

I liked the team, though feel the baby blue jerseys are horribly over-hyped. That said they I liked their logos and many of their players. I wish they had never left, but as annoying as the winning jets have been since their return, I have grown used to them
AtLeastIveGotChicken
Surest way for Quebec City to get a team: Atlanta to get another team.
But for real, I still have the license plate border for the Thrashers. My first team.
Graycat23
Yes. 8 year STH. And yes I know a large chunk of this sub howls with rage anytime Atlanta is mentioned as an expansion target. Hockey will succeed here with an ownership group that can afford to fund the club properly and is committed to the market. (That doesn’t include any Ted Turner relatives).
Call_of_Queerthulhu
No, I’d much rather have the Jets
Or the Coyotes for that matter
relient917
Nope
trout440
Definitely. I miss that logo I thought was a wooden bowl.
wambulancer
Haven’t watched a second of NHL since, so, yea
ETA: the way NHL has moved heaven and earth to keep the ‘yotes in Arizona but let ASG just sell off the Thrashers without a second thought says all I need to know, far as I’m concerned without a team in Atlanta NHL isn’t actually serious about Sun Belt growth, talking 6th largest market in the US
Feather_Plus
Not really, no.
Ask me about the Whalers or the Nordiques though.

Aren’t half the NHL teams from Atlanta at some point?
hairycookies
No
falsekoala
Nope.
dr_van_nostren
Might not be missing them for much longer.
I don’t really miss them per se, I think Winnipeg is a much better hockey market. Atlanta is a big city, they’ll probably get a team again by the sounds of things. Hopefully it works this time.

I miss them so much, my sofa is still covered in Thrashers’ team colors!
