Jeff Zatkoff.
He's never heard of the terminology "slump".
He's the future goalie for this organization.

Oh come on Anthony. If you don't realize that Bernier is being groomed as the future #1 you're crazy. How do you know Zatkoff has never had a slump? How many NHL games has Zatkoff played in and how many games have you personally seen him play? How can you make such a definitive statement about someone you've never seen play?

From what I read, that sounds like an immature kid not realizing that you have to show up every day and be ready 100%. That's what happens when you're 18 yrs old. Give this kid time.
There's no question the talent is there. When the head catches up to the talent, the Kings goaltending problems should be a thing of the past.

Anthony is crazy. Zatkoff
will probably never see the NHL as a #1. I don't
buy the hype with any draft
picks.To me they are all suspects until they prove
otherwise. Some just prove
it a helluva lot faster
than others.
