But........ your previous 100 message about Lindbohm have been bashing him down. So its bit hard to believe what you say
I was just trying to be funny (responding to your Lindbohm questions this thread).
I thought he had a good game, for his first game up in a long time. There were a couple shifts where he was kind of lost positionally, but he also held up to the physicality in a very good way. Obviously he did not get victimized by the Capitals, so I'd call it a good game. (I don't think he has a very good chance to move past Edmundson or Gunnarsson, so even improved play from Lindbohm probably will mean he's a bench warmer on the playoff bus, unless injuries bring him in.) Not many teams have an 8th man this good, though.
Ranksu, you tend to argue when someone gives an honest opinion of Lindbohm unless its a shining report. You probably remember, I was the first one that speculated that he would be the odd man missing out on a roster spot in training camp, based on what we were hearing. You really criticized me at that time, yet that was exactly what happened.
I don't know of any poster here that doesn't like Lindbohm or want him to succeed. But its tough competition and presently he isn't good enough to force his way on. Its not going to get easier next year, either. I think he's probably stuck barring an injury in front of him, even if he continues to improve. Maybe he will eventually be traded if that's the case, but there isn't a lot of reason for the team to be in a hurry to do that.
