I paused where Lindell stopped moving his feet. Cogliano's fast but Lindell basically stopped putting pressure on Cogliano and gave him tons time and space to make a pass over to Silfverberg.
worth noting for those who didnt see the play but Cogliano passed it into the slot at about the middle of the CHOCChickens on sign (i cant read) on the boards
Lindell was fine there. You’re just picking nits.

Lindell knows he’s the last guy back, so he’s not going to go be ultra aggressive there because if he goes flying at Cogliano and misses, then Cogliano has a breakaway on Bishop.
Lindell wasn't dominated. Cogliano didn't have all day. Cogliano only had the puck on his stick for maybe a second and a half at most.
Lindell contained Cogliano and steered him to the boards. Lindell did his job. Cogliano was forced wide high in the zone and had only two options left: he could throw the puck down the boards or try to throw it to the middle. Thanks to a lucky bounce and Heiskanen getting beat getting back, Cogliano's choice to throw it to the middle ended up in the net.
If Lindell goes balls out trying to meet Cogliano at the puck, there's a pretty good chance Lindell gets beat there.
Lindell- incapable of stopping a zone entry due to overall lack of desire to move his feet, allowed Cog way too much time to think and set that play up. Lindell didn’t even look like he was trying to break the pass up because he moves like a sloth
He constantly avoids passing or shot lanes by weakly flailing his stick. His body positioning is awful when defending.
