[quote redhair34]Moulson had 2 goals tonight and was named the 1st Star in Manchester's 4-3 win over Norfolk.  I don't think it would be all that surprising to see Matt get a cup of coffee with the Kings before the end of the season.[/quote]

Yeah, seems pretty likely.  John Zeiler, who played at SLU last year before leaving towards the end of the season, was called up to LA recently and scored his first NHL goal last week.

I always thought Zeiler was underrated when he played in the league.  Trevelyan got all of the press, but I don't think he would have been nearly as effective if Zeiler wasn't skating on his line.

It wouldn't be surprising, especially since LA seems intent on trading away everyone on the ice this season for prospects.
(Norstrom and Pushkarev are now Stars)

Nice article on Matt Moulson from last nights Monarchs win.  Matt is really playing well right now for the 1st place Kings affiliate.  If LA keeps trading people away maybe he will get his chance.

Shane Hynes reassigned to portland, making the AHL Clear Day roster. No such luck for McKee or Pokulok, who will stay in the ECHL.

Moeser is still playing?!  That's freakin' remarkable.

Though I suppose no more remarkable than that Joe was still playing a few months ago.

[quote Beeeej]Moeser is still playing?!  That's freakin' remarkable.

Though I suppose no more remarkable than that Joe was still playing a few months ago.[/quote]According to Hockeydb, 04-05 (the year of that ugly jersey) was Moeser's last year playing.  He played 15 seasons with the Augsburg Panthers, with interruptions in the 92-93 season, which he played with the Berlin Polar Bears (JTW would say "Eisbaeren"), and two games with the Rosenheim Star Bulls at the beginning of 94-95.

Moeser's teammates in Augsburg included Scott Campbell (93-97, Colorado College), Glenn Anderson (94-96, yes, THE Glenn Anderson), Dave Reierson (95-96, Michigan Tech), Rob Mendel (95-97, Wisconsin), Terry Campbell (95-97, Union), Andre Faust (1996-00, Princeton), Shawn Rivers (96-97, SLU), Mike Hudson (97-98, 7 NHL teams from 1989-97), Greg Bullock (1998-99, UMass-Lowell), Kurt Miller (1999-00, LSSU), Jason Muzzatti (2000-01, MSU, 4 NHL teams), Reid Simonton (2001-03, Union), PC Drouin (02-03, Cornell '96, now of the Morzine-Avoriaz Pingouins in France), and Shawn Carter (02-05, Wisconsin).

From what I can figure of the team website, it looks like Moeser is now a coach for Augsburg and a naturalized German.  Guys playing for him include Shane Joseph (MSU-Mankato, played against Cornell in the 2003 regionals and with Douglas Murray in Cleveland), Craig Darby (PC), and Mark Murphy (RPI).

The preceding has been brought to you by our sponsors, beer and boredom.

I was going to guess that they were still called EHC Dynamo back then, but it turns out 1992 is when they stopped being Dynamo and started being the Eisbären, officially at least.
