New Thrasher contract-signer Alexander Burmistrov is set to make his debut tomorrow night against the Washington Capitals and Alexander Ovechkin. He’s still got that new Russian smell, and he’s won over every single guy in the locker room. Frankly, considering the fact that he was grinning like a 4 year old in a candy store at last night’s season ticket holder Face Off event, I think he’s won everyone over.
↵Want to chat about Burmie’s prospects as a new addition to the team? Concerned that Craig Ramsay and Rick Dudley sent the wrong guys down after camp? Tune in tonight to the Birdwatchers Anonymous radio program, where we’ll be previewing the season. The fun starts at 9 – feel free to chat on the post at BWA or please call in.
