Right wing Scott Mellanby's quest for a Stanley Cup has come to an end. The captain of the Thrashers for the last two seasons, Mellanby announced his retirement on Tuesday. "It's a sad day but a good day," Mellanby said during a Tuesday conference call. "It's been a great ride. It's time to go on to do something else." Mellanby helped the Thrashers reach the playoffs for the first time in franchise history this season, but they were swept in the Eastern Conference quarterfinals by the Rangers.
