The frustration continued this past Wednesday night at Philips Arena as Fraser's crew dropped a 2-1 decision to the New Jersey Devils. It already marked the Thrashers' fifth one-goal setback of the young campaign, further proving the team's lack of defensive prowess when it counts. And in actuality, the loss wasn't as close as 2-1, as Ilya Kovalchuk's power- play goal with 1.7 sec |
