asp.net mvc compress stream and remove whitespace

So I am compressing my output stream via an action filter:

var response = filterContext.HttpContext.Response;
response.Filter = new DeflateStream(response.Filter), CompressionMode.Compress);

Which works great. Now, I would also like to remove the excess whitespace present. I found Mads Kristensen's http module http://madskristensen.net/post/A-whitespace-removal-HTTP-module-for-ASPNET-20.aspx.

public class WhitespaceFilter : Stream {

    // using Mads Kristensen httpModule
    // http://madskristensen.net/post/A-whitespace-removal-HTTP-module-for-ASPNET-20.aspx

    private Stream os;
    private static Regex reg = new Regex(@"^\s+", RegexOptions.Multiline | RegexOptions.Compiled); 

    public WhitespaceFilter(Stream os) {
        this.os = os;
    }

    //methods that need to be overridden from stream
    public override bool CanRead {
        get { return true; }
    }

    public override bool CanSeek {
        get { return true; }
    }

    public override bool CanWrite {
        get { return true; }
    }

    public override void Flush() {
        os.Flush();
    }

    public override long Length {
        get { return 0; }
    }

    private long _position;
    public override long Position {
        get { return _position; }
        set { _position = value; }
    }

    public override int Read(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count) {
        return os.Read(buffer, offset, count);
    }

    public override long Seek(long offset, SeekOrigin origin) {
        return os.Seek(offset, origin);
    }

    public override void SetLength(long value) {
        os.SetLength(value);
    }

    public override void Close() {
        os.Close();
    }

    public override void Write(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count) {
        string html = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(buffer);

        //r
