    @goldielocks, First guy I’ve seen who’s shorter than the interview guy. Did he take his skates off?

    Early but Moller is already playing “bigger” than I remember. Looks really comfortable and his skill is already on display with little to no signs of nerves. I had all but given up hope he’d back this year but alas, here he is! Loving this kid.

    @wavesinair, he struggled on the draw in our end, and is having a tough time on the boards, its plain to see he is European, open ice he’s great, along the boards suspect

    @Harty, hasnt strugglede at all….has played really good…against one of the best teams in the league….he is only 22!!!!!

    wavesinair Reply:

    @Harty, Interesting. I was watching the boards closely and I thought he did really well in every circumstance he could. Maybe some more eyes can weigh in.

    Harty Reply:

    @Harty, Neil are you have to be kidding right? He lost the draw with 2 minutes left in our end almost resulted in a goal from the D. Then struggled on the side wall

    @Harty, Idk, thought he was solid, considering that’s not really his game.

    @Harty, I like his chances of scoring more than I like Lewis’s. But anyways as i’m writing this Sharks scored so…… Go Kings Go and get back in the game.

    Not a bad start, pretty impressed. Moller had a great opportunity, and Quick looked good.

    It’d be nice to see Ryan Smyth do something other than turn the puck over for the first time in about 30 games.

    We gave up some good chances, we have to cut them down.
    What is Stoll thinking in the neutral zone??
    Smyth is slow, really slow, and Zues and Brown look like they want to go and can’t with no left wing support.

    @Harty, Smyth’s speed makes Handzeus look like a speed skater.

    @Harty, No way rs was playing possessed on that last but of our pp. He’s def got jump in the legs tonigt maybe it was winning the crate that reignited the mullet

    Nyck Reply:

    @Stuart, if that’s his “possessed”, I think we maybe need to talk about his 7 million dollar contract.

    @Stuart, He may have jump in his legs, but his passing,I mean his tossing stinks!

    @Harty, Smyth has been absent for about a month now.

    Nyck Reply:

    @xeropoint, I think he just skated so slow he time traveled.

    Harty Reply:

    @xeropoint, right I think he is tired, very tired, he needs some pressbox time to rest prior to playoffs.

    Random… but does anyone else sing the Oscar Meyer song every time you hear Oscar Moller?

    Even rs is on fire! Win or lose tonight if we play like this consistently nothing but good things can happen

    wavesinair Reply:

    @Stuart, He might be slow, but I’d rather have no one else behind the net with the puck. That dude is so at home back there.

    @Slim,

    From a Viking, since when are Sweedish people Vikings? He is smaller than the average female height in Iceland. I have always liked this kid though.

    Go Kings!

  21. Kenny44 says:

    @Harty, Hard to lose a draw “along the boards.” Plus, he’s playing wing, so I can’t blame him for losing a draw. OM won a few board engagements, coming away with the puck. He couldn’t get the puck out once, but he was outnumbered and didn’t get much of a pass. That’s happened to a lot of our wings this year. It’s not rocket science figuring out our breakout.
