@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, 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, 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.

@jess, LOL! Maybe score that dive a 7. Solid period for Kings. Need an early PK. GKG!

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

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

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

@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.
[Reply]
Anyone else feel OM banked a pass off W Mitchells skates early in the period?
[Reply]
i like how we’re wearing next years home jerseys. :]

Can’t help but like this viking!

@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!
[Reply]
Looking good so far,the mighty Swede looks great,although he almost lost the puck behind our net.He looks good on the fore-check and the fourth line is gonna score tonite.Keep it up,I’m not biting my nails yet.
[Reply]
It looks like the ROAD Kings have shown up so far..
If we keep doing what were doing we will
get what we get…HUH!
I mean goals..
GKG
[Reply]
I’m liking what I see in Moller. Keep it up Kings. Kill this penalty and keep wearing them down. GKG!

My groin hurt when Quick did the splits.
The kid’s quite limber..
We are playing smart hockey so far, now kill this
undeserved penalty..

Had to end sometime. It was a nice tip.
[Reply]
@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.
