Injury Report: Jeff Zatkoff hurt at Kings skate. Needs help of the ice and to locker room.

[The Butcher]

The blueline then was considerably better than it is now. They can only do so much. Take the Minnesota game for example. Seemed like any shot on Zatkoff posed as a scoring threat.

I bet we can look back to a few posts from people who thought the blue line was going to be a big problem.

 

[Trolfoli]

Um... Idea!!!! Ok Lewis is the black hole of offense. What if we put him in the Kings net? Would his presence alone be enough to nullify all offense in a 5-6 foot radius?

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

We've found a solution.

We know how this story ends, right? With Jack Campbell as the Conn Smythe winahahahahah I can't finish

 

[Omni Owl]

I'm getting bad flashbacks of Cloutier, Brust and Fukufuji.

Weirdly I feel bad for the guy. What real chance he has is all about getting games in and some decent coaching. Build a case in the AHL. He wouldn't be the first goalie to have a late career boom.

Still... who... This is just amazing. Down to goalie 3/4.

Guess the profanity filter missed that one.

Are there any UFA goalies out there?

Calgary has too many goaltenders already don't know why they signed any more goalies.

No I totally agree. Honestly for his career this is probably a bad scenario.

That's because any shot on Zatkoff IS a scoring threat.

It's okay. He probably just rides the bench a couple of games. I mean he's only going to get playing time if Budaj gets pulled or, god forbid, injured.

 

[Choralone]

Wait, I thought we had a drought. Why is it pouring?

Time for bill ranford to dust off his goalie equipment.

Ha! My first thought, too. There's a movie script in there somewhere....

It's almost as if this team has been cursed since going on a miraculous Cup run in 2014.

It was ****ing worth it.

 

[theMajor]

Who would have thought at one point our goalies would be Budaj/Campbell.

the Kings have been lucky in the goaltending sense since Quick took over the #1 duties. hes been hurt once and Jones/Scrivens were great in his absence. losing Jones really sucks but what can you do? just bad luck right now

It was like having Dan Cloutier or Roman Cechmanek back.

Friday the 13th.

Was that on purpose, or is it just an odd comment to be in this particular thread?

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Bill Ranford is looking great in the alumni game...

 

[Nizar]

Time for Karri Ramo?

 

[King'sPawn]

Dustin Brown for goalie, since scoring goes down when he's on the ice anyway.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

well our goalie situation technically improved with this news

 

[KingsCourt]

Wow...this insane

 

[funky]

Would love to get Kuemper from Minnesota. Big athletic goalie that covers a lot of the net and has a cheap one year contract

He already has, he's playing today in the Alumni game in Edmonton

Bill Ranford is keeping the Oilers alumni in this game through the 1st 8 minutes. And I sincerely apologize for this tweet. #NHLJets
