Atlanta Thrashers - Team
History & Information
January 27, 2008, The NHL All-Star
Game was played for the first time in Philips Arena matching
the Eastern Conference All-Stars vs. the Western Conference
All-Stars with the East winning 8–7 on former Thrasher Marc Savard scoring
the game winner late in the third period. Savard spurned
Atlanta for a 2–year deal with Boston after the 2005–06
season but was cheered on by the crowd the entire night.
The game was originally scheduled for the 2004–05 season
but due to the lockout, 2008 was the next available date.
November 3, 2008, a Maryland court began
proceedings on February 17, to decide the fate of the Thrashers'
ownership. A dispute between Steve
Belkin and his seven fellow owners dated back to 2005.
Belkin claimed the other owners breached their contract,
giving him the right to buy them out at cost, while his counterparts
said they should be able to buy out Belkin's 30% stake.
