According to Bob McKenzie of TSN, who is the king of the waiver-wire transactions, John Zeiler has cleared and will be eligible to join the Kings this morning.
Because it’s a road game — albeit a nearby one — the Kings won’t be on the ice until 11:30 a.m. in Anaheim for their morning skate.
Big surprise there.
Come on boys. Put it to the Ducks.

@VanKingsFan, TM and DL were apparently scratching other body parts when they concocted this idea.
[Reply]
So Zeiler cleared waivers.
Is this good or bad news? I ask because 29 other teams took a pass yet we should get excited? Just askin’.

@Kingsfanone, well, given the pick up rules, is it worth risking chemistry issues for a fourth line energy player?
Johnny Z will bring the gas, get .5 hits/minute and draw a penalty. Just what a flat team needs.
Maybe our fourth line has been a little too frilly this season. Go, Johnny go

@Kingsfanone, I just do not understand why John Z and Peter H have this special place with TM

@Garry,
Last I checked, TM also has a special place for Kompon’s Power Play.
(opens eyes) It’s still there…….right?

@lafan13, My thoughts exactly…. boy do we have depth.
[Reply]
looks like a borderline desperate move… some kind of a gesture meant to teach the boys a lesson about playing hard, taking bodies on the forecheck, etc… but is it gonna help us WIN?
we need production from kopi, brown, smyth, williams, DD and JJ.
that’s it. “your best players gotta play like your best players”.
that’s our only chance for success.
[Reply]
ok.KINGS you are in a tough game tonight.you are the better team,play like it.GO KINGS GO
[Reply]
I wonder how DL feels since he couldn’t even get a bag of pucks and $1.00 for Zeiler.

@DetroitSons1952,
I believe it was the $1.00 that was the deal breaker.
[Reply]
There is a big shock! Nobody wanted Zeiler?
LOL
Maybe the Kings should follow the rest of the teams in the NHL and get rid of this guy.
Why not bring up a scorer to play with Kopi? Send King back down and bring up Clune..
Two up from Manchester and send King back down?
It’s going to be a rough game tonight. Lets see if King is willing to use his size against Parros..
These are the games I miss Ivanans believe it or not…
[Reply]
Why would we want John Zeiler to clear waivers and be on the Kings roster? That’s the last player I would want to see on the ice ever.
[Reply]
Let’s see if Kyle Clifford gives up #13 for him. LOL
(sarcasm, folks…)

@Harty, as per LA Kings website: #29

Zeiler trys hard, but i mean all NHL players should. He doesnt have much talent, and i would rather see Cliche come up maybe or anyone else for that matter lol. The kings need to make a trade seriously if this is what it is coming too. Im amazed how without Mitchell and Poni how the kings have played horrible alot of nights.
[Reply]
Am I having some sort of bad dream?
[Reply]
Nobody else wants him so let’s stick him in our starting line-up. Rolls eyes.
[Reply]
Yipeeee!!! Johnny Z is back!!!!
[Reply]
That would be awesome if he Zeiler does something stupid during the morning skate and Simmer or Clifford injure him (by beating him to the ice), before he gets into our lineup..
Wishful thinking?
[Reply]
No sure about this move either. Sure he’s an energy guy, but not much after that.
I guess we can pencil in the 5-minute major crosschecking penalty now. My only hope is that its Corey Perry that he crosschecks….

@EncinoMan,
Yeah, and pencil in the 5 minutes in the box for M Greene, W Simmonds, or other teamate that ends up cleaning up the mess.
[Reply]
a hard hitter…good news hope Perry suffer!
[Reply]
all this negativity…
i really hope johnny can get in there and energize our play a little, lets see how he handles the game tonight before we start bashing him (again). lets look to the future and not what we have left behind us. gKg
[Reply]
I heard what you guys have to say – I’m still going to trust Hextall on this one. Thanks,
Congrats to Z – Hopefully he will add some entertainment value on the forth line (and maybe draw a couple penalties).
[Reply]
I’m a big supporter of DL, TM and our scouts but I haven’t a clue what this move is about. I just don’t get it.
[Reply]
No offense to Zeiler i thought he was a little too spastic on the ice but hey i guess you might as well throw in everybody and anybody who they can think of to try and get the team on track. how much more worse can it get?
