Zeiler hasn't been very effective in his 4th line agitator role. I'd like to see Moulson back in LA. Happy New Year Rich and Matt!
Ditto, Moulson deserves a spot on this team.
I'll admit that when I first heard the comment that JS and Barbs would be each getting a game this weekend I thought it was a bigger statement based on Barbs getting pulled versus the Sharks....now that I look at it I think it's just an obvious decision going into a back-to-back decision...and hopefully nothing more than that.
I for one am in favor of the Kings just finally saying Barbs is the starter and moving on with it. Goalie isn't our biggest problem. I really think we're 2 players away from being a strong 5 or 6 seed playoff contender (above average center + role playing defensive defensemen)
