Player Discussion Par Lindholm

[Dr Hook]

I know I'm in the minority but I think par is a important piece to this club . Works his tail off superb penalty killer skates fast and dependable when we have a lead. Great faceoff guy to boot. I bet he's in the lineup come playoff time.

Par is a useful player in a 4th line role, no question. About as good as Wags is at the faceoff dot, not a great guy at that, sorry to say. That aside, the problem with him is that the Bruins have too many useful 4th liners, both here and in Providence. It's still a mystery signing to me. I didn't then, nor do I now, see the need for it.

Par should be on the 4th line full time and donny should try to package Joachim and picks to get help for the 2nd or 3rd lines. Does anyone know what's Bruins record when par is in the lineup?

What are you, his agent?

Huge fan. Wondering why Bruce has benched him for so long? He was playing well.

Probably because he is offensively challenged to be nice about it. He makes Nordstrom look like Crosby

no issues at all with Par stepping into a 4th line role if one of the boys is injured, there isn`t a world he should be playing anywhere up in the lineup though

Current 4th line of Nordstrom (-6), Kuraly (-3) and Wagner (-8) are the three worst plus/minus on the team.

yep, been harping all season how poorly that line has played, specifically Kuraly who, IMO, has been a disaster

agree. honestly not sure why Wagner got a two year extension.

 

[Fenian24]

Fredric-Kuraly-Senyshyn Wagner extra forward.

 

[Son of Donegal]

Fredric-Kuraly-Senyshyn Wagner extra forward.

For now, anyways.

Wagner has surprisingly looked good, IMO. I’m not his biggest fan but he’s out there making plays. Nordstrom is still good on the PK and his own end, so I don’t have a problem with him. Kuraly? Yeah he’s had a bit of a rough season.

Lindholm is completely fine, IMO. Actually, I’d go as far to say as he’s a sneakily good fourth-line guy for many teams out there. He’s got wheels and covers the ice well in all zones— especially down low. He’s the ideal depth forward, but the problem is the team is carrying too many forwards with Lindholm, Ritchie and Backes all at the same time. I just don’t see how something doesn’t give soon.

Ok it's time to insert par in the lineup against pens to stop losing streak.

You got your wish

As the great Auston powers used to say yeah baby yeah.

As the great Auston powers used to say yeah baby yeah.

I like your optimism here. I hope he scores a goal.

Unfortunately Krejci is out that is why he is in.

 

[Dr Hook]

Unfortunately Krejci is out that is why he is in.

Yes but we can still wish the best for Par

 

[BruinsBtn]

I guess I don't mind him in a game like this where the Pens have 2 great centers but he's such a black hole on offense that it's tough to watch. Just pay the price for Pageau already.

Krejci's out, thus the Par. The Bruins have Bergeron-Krejci-Coyle down the middle and a bunch of mix and match types for the 4th line. Center is not really a team need.

This is the guy that has been left unscathed. He's been crap all season and gets an extension for it

Agree , the Kid works his ass off.

 

[arider1990]

Well you called that.

 

[The don godfather]

I've been calling for lindholm to be in the lineup for days. I was right.

 

[The don godfather]

Don't mess with success par lindholm stays. Plays hard and always positive plays. He has speed to boot. Penalty killer and can play anywhere in the lineup. Great game tonight.
