"His best shift of the game"??? he circled along the boards for 30seconds and got absolutely nowhere, not even a shot on goal...

Funny how we are kept on the outside all the damn time but Anaheim has all the good chances this period.

We are absolutely awful tonight we have zero offense.

That is what his team of defense attorneys here are saying though. DeKeyser is apparently already perfect in both the defensive and offensive aspects of his game and god forbid someone would criticise him on either of those, that would just be awful...

There is no solid reason on this planet for any player especially a young one to not aspire to improving offensively. Stop seeing everything in black and white and maybe this discussion will go somewhere.

I do have to get mad actually when you talk like you have the divine truth and everyone else could learn a thing or two from you... I already said he has played well defensively but that he could get better offensively, what part of that do you disagree with so much that you felt you needed to lecture me? I'm not asking him to be an Erik Karlsson type but it would be nice if he could pitch in a goal here and there throughout his hopefully long career and to do this he needs to improve his offensive game.

Are you serious? You haven't got the first clue what my "expectations" are. Maybe try reading what I actually write instead of trying to interpret it the way you want to? The game is not one dimensional and every single player out there has to be able to play both defense and offense so yes he sure as hell needs confidence in the offensive zone.

I don't believe I said a word about asking him to put up big numbers or not but I still think his offensive game can be improved, he seems to lack confidence there.

I am very impressed with DeKeysers positional and defensive game but he seems to lack confidence offensively. He always looks like he is more worried about making a mistake and backs off early instead of getting in a good position to shoot or pinch in offensively.

When was the last time we actually held a one goal lead to the end??

As usual when facing a heavy team we generate absolutely zero offense... We are so easy to shut down it's not even funny.

I'm not sure Forsberg will be a star anyway, he has a massive amount of talent but he seems a bit well not lazy maybe but he needs to become a whole lot tougher and work harder.

Will we be the only team who doesn't trade anyone? One of very few at least.

Can we please hurry up and do SOMETHING at least.

Great work by Brunner on Thornton there.

Please put Abdelkader back on the fourth line where he belongs...

God what a boring game, and I am up at 6am for this s***...

They shouldn't be top6 against any team Does anybody know what is wrong with Flip btw?

I really like the monster so far but otherwise a fairly slow period from both teams.

Really solid first period, I'm liking what I see. Interesting decision to bench White though, I hope that motivates him to be better.

I love how BladeBrunner always looks happy like a little kid every time he scores

Now THAT on the other hand I can't get behind, WTF Howie...

Hard not to appreciate a goal like that, the Sedin sisters have some quality moves.

Just heard that Tootoo was full of respect this morning when he met Homer and Lids at the practice. I'm glad he is smart enough to recognize and bow to such utter greatness

Brunner looks like he has a lot of speed tonight.
