« Tied 3-3 | Main | Kings 4-3 »

Who would have guessed...

...at the start of training camp, that the Kings' best goalies (in order of strength) would be Jonathan Bernier, J.S. Aubin, Dan Cloutier and Jason LaBarbera...?

Could have won some money on that bet.

Things seem to be slowing down in Salzburg. Still 3-3 it seems.

Miss Garon? It's preseason and nothing more.

The Kings historically do great in the preseason and then screw the pooch come regular season, so that is how much should be put into preseason.

Garon was completely overrated and was a mistake - not one of Taylor's finer moments as a GM.

I almost died the day that the Kings traded Huet away for Garon! I saw so much potential in Huet to be a #1 goalie and now look at him. Of course, with the way the Kings have been, talent wise, in the last couple of year he might have never grown to his current abilities. But still...........

Did anyone actually SEE the goals that Labarbera gave up that can comment on the quality of the shots? (i.e., were they tweeners from the blue line, one-timers, what?)
