Random bits on a lazy Saturday

Mathieu may have done something of note yesterday. He may have broken New Jersey Devil Colin White's hand. On what was a simple shot to the net on the power play, Mathieu's shot hit White in the left hand. White missed today's game and is listed day to day. Hopefully it is just a bruise and not a break. That would be a bummer.

Also, Mathieu had some comments in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution about the recent streakiness of the Thrashers:

“Sometimes those things can get in a team’s head. You start thinking about it too much, and it certainly affects you. I’ve been on both sides of [streaks like this]. When you’re on the winning side you try to take advantage of it. When you’re on the losing side you try to use it as motivation. It shouldn’t be a hard game for us to get up for.”
