Crazy Hampus Lindholm stat from game vs Flyers

[Drew4u]

5 points in almost 30 games.... thats even more of a suprising stat

Not really...last year through 38 games, he had 8 points. Very slow starter offensively, but he's picked up where he's left off defensively.

On the shots topic...I'm not really sure if that's because of Magnus, or just a massive coincidence. I wanna know how many shots on goal we gave up with Bieksa and Holzer on ice.

Crazy to think Reinhart was chosen before Rielly and Lindholm.

Eh it's not too crazy. Looking back it sucks for NY but eh. They drafted on potential and Reinhart had a very high ceiling he just couldn't improve his skating (they probably assumed it could be fixed like Tavares)

 

[Ducks in a row]

But people want to say lindholm gets over rated lol

Lindholm is good defensively but he isn't producing much offensively. He is overrated now.

 

[Lyons71]

Hampus is the only dman that isn't paired with Bieksa. All the others on-and-off get paired with Kev and he ruins all their stats.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Lindholm is good defensively but he isn't producing much offensively. He is overrated now.

Oh boo hoo, if he doesn't give up goals who cares how much he scores... he generally causes more chances/goals then against in a game by game basis.

 

[Arthuros]

Actually, I'm fine with Lindholm being under the radar.

Can we pretend he doesn't exist?

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

He's a great player to help your team win games. But a terrible fantasy player, esp this season

He wasn't actually a really good fantasy player for his first couple seasons. 30 pts +29, 34 pts +25

Not sure why he's dipped so much. I assume he's playing a high quality of opposition?

last year I know the team as a whole had a very below average shooting percentage with lindholm on the ice which led to his lower offensive #'s.


This year, I think he started off slow offensively coming to the season a little late, he is shooting 2.9 percent which is below league average, and I think the team is shooting at a low percentage with him on the ice again(don't quote me on that tho).... +/- is lower because the team doesn't do very well in 5 v 5.

I don't think it has much to do with quality of opposition because he is still putting up good #'s, another issue with points is fowler has really stepped up his game and taken over top PP jobs with vatanen, so hes not getting a whole lot of time on the Powerplay.

Better offensive production helps to make a player better then having less. He is good defensively but overall as a defenseman he is overrated it is that simple. Ducks need as much offensive help as they can get so if he was producing more that would help.

Cept that is a naïve way of thinking... he is doing his job 5 v 5... percentages are not on his side but if he continues doing what hes doing, the points will come... if we had 6 lindholms on defense wed win a lot more then 6 fowlers.

 

[gorangers0525]

His ability to tilt the ice is with the best of them, would just like to some more point from him. Still EASILY the best d-man on the ducks.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

It's almost as if defensemen are on the ice to play defense.

He tilts the ice, but is on wrong side of percentages... if the percentages(shooting etc) ever come to league average or his side... hell start moving up that top dmen chart crazy fast.

last year anaheim had a very low on ice shooting % when he was on the ice, he still had 10 goals but his assist numbers suffered.

this year I think his hold out definitely has contributed he has been playing better recently though

No it isn't naïve way of thinking. Better production is always better to have from someone then less how anyone can think otherwise is beyond me. Just like Getzlaf will start scoring goals at a reasonable rate that I heard some Ducks fans say he will? When will Lindholm start producing at a better rate? If we had 6 Lindholms we would be very good defensive team and be wanting a high scoring defenseman added to the team over at least 1 of the Lindholms.

Defenseman job is to play hockey that involves everything which includes producing offensively.

The teams job is to win, lindholms stats equate to winning.. his scoring is a bonus... You realize lindholm controls the game and pushes the offense better then all our dmen... he just has a low shooting percentage and the team doesn't have a high percentage when hes on the ice but hes doing all he can... points just are not coming yet.

His point totals will rely heavily on 5 v 5 production, which this team lacks, because he doesn't play on top pp unit

I know what he is good at I just want some more offense getting sick of seeing multiple players offensive numbers drop and hearing it will come. Lindholm is good but he has become overrated that doesn't mean he isn't good don't know why some people act like it is crazy to call him overrated.

They got Barzal for him though so I'd take that trade off

Its definitely not easy. Even if you concede that he is the best d on the ducks its definitely not easy.
