"Puck don't lie"
Couple of things....Lindholm's shooting % dropped to below 7% from 10% the season before and 12% the season before that. Shooting % is typically a mix of 2 or 3 things: bad shooting position, bad linemate passing, and/or bad luck. If he can get back to near his previous level then we're less likely to be having this conversation. Also, he should be taking more shots in general as that is what should be or will be expected of him. Finally, Lindy's production didn't really jump much, but, he seemed much more engaged in the games once he started killing penalties. He was pretty good at it too. To me, the key issue was confidence. Early in the season, he lost the puck, made errant passes, and shot wide and high a lot. For a while his whole play became tentative. The last 20 games or so, that seemed to shift a bit.
