While you're at it Matt & Rich, would you please inform the King Players that hockey is a CONTACT sport! Their performance against the Sharks on Saturday night was abysmal. They lost every battle for the puck along the walls and corners. I thought they only rolled out the red carpet before the games for the anthem singers!

Maybe they can also work on faceoffs since they have all week to practice. They only won 19 out of 47 draws on Saturday. It seemed like it was only 10.

Now you know why Moulson was sent down!!!! Might as well get SOME work in before returning to the dedicated work ethics of the Kings. Ya think maybe we would be an over .500 team if we practiced a little more. Gee, I think there are a few things we can work on.

Has anybody noticed Erik Ersberg at Manchester? He's quietly gone 4-1-1 with a 2.50 GAA and a .901 SV%. Clouts is the exact opposite, 1-4, 3.22 GAA and .886 SV%...too bad, looks like he won't be back anytime soon.

the 90.1 save percentage isn't exactly awe-inspiring.
