Player Discussion Par Lindholm

[Chief Nine]

He is a JAG. A dime a dozen player

 

[Blowfish]

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.

Again he was effective at the dot and continues to play smart hockey. Nice goal to boot!

 

[neelynugs]

i like lindholm as the extra forward. plays with energy, plays smart, doesn't hurt
the team.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

He doesn’t lack in effort.

For bottom 6 player, that’s often the biggest thing I look for...so for me personally...I don’t mind him in a bottom 6 spot compared to someone like Ritchie.

 

[The don godfather]

Par is what you call a Swiss army knife player. Put him anywhere and he won't be a liability especially defensively.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Par is the Answer.

 

[The don godfather]

Par plays tomorrow! I feel his earning his keep now and will be a mainstay on the team now.

he is but if injury occurs to a 4th liner, he`s a reliable guy the coach can dress. I like his game, simple, effective in what he brings, but he should never be near a 3rd line C spot as he has been at times which isn`t his fault

Good point about Par. I don't mind him in that role at all, but it is still a mystery to me why they signed him. He is one of a half-dozen guys that can fill that role in some way.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Par has the perfect name for his game.

Hardly ever bogies or birdies.

This is what I meant. He’s a decent 4th line guy. In other words a JAG

I have 0 issues with the signing, yes he is JAG but he`s JAG with some NHL experience who knows his role and is a guy you`ll never see trying to be something he isn`t. Again, the only issue I have with him simply isn`t his fault and that`s being thrust into a 3rd line C role when DK has been hurt or the B`s want to try Coyle on the wing which they should never do IMO

Lindholm is very strong defensively and with his speed and surprising willingness to play with some physicality (no he`s not a bruiser), he forces D men or opposition often to make a play they don`t want to.

I like that, gonna steal it and claim it as mine

Handles the puck like a grenade but he wasn`t signed to produce pts

The embarrassing hole at 3C last season + Bergeron and Krejci age = add a true center as 13th forward. Maybe reactive, but it's paid off. Not much offense but a net positive.

 

[Kegs]

I like him. He is fast and great 5v5 fourth liner. He also kills penalties. I think he gets it too rough around here. He seems to be the perfect 4th line guy. One with speed. Smart. And he is really good defensively. He is even good at killing penalties.

 

[YouTakeTheVan]

He is even good at killing penalties.

When Par Lindholm is on ice the team only allows 1.27 goals against per 60 minutes.

Shorthanded.

 

[Dr Hook]

Time to give this one a bump. I admit I was not a fan of the signing. Not that I thought he was a bad player or anything, but that it was redundant and pointless. At this point, though, I think the guy might actually be our best 4th line player in terms of all around game. I enjoy watching him and I think he is the type of player that makes his linemates better. Yep he still has hands of stone and it isn't reasonable to expect him to develop into an NHL scorer- he would have done it by now I imagine if that was in him- but in terms of smart play, puck possession, solid passing, defensive positioning, penalty killing, agility, etc. I don't think there is a Bruin in that tier of player that is as complete a player.

If he had even Danton Heinen's skill level with the puck he'd be a good third liner.

But it's okay. Lindholm knows his role and it's to be a pain in the ass to the other team on defense and get the puck moving in the opposite direction.

He quite frankly rarely ever makes mistakes.

 

[JCRO]

Lindholm in the lineup means Kuraly gets to play wing. When Kuraly plays wing, we see a more effective Kuraly.

I thought Nordstrom was the best fourth liner in the playoffs but he's fallen down the list.

Kuraly-Lindholm-Wagner is what they should roll with from here on out.

Lindholm has some good hockey sense and is a responsible two way player. I like him a lot

 

[BruinDust]

Is "Par" the Swedish translation for "Boring"?

In all seriousness though, I thought he had a decent game last night. He's better than Blidh, and no worse than Nordstrom, and the fact he can push Kuraly to the wing probably makes him a better option than both.

Not the best time to bring up those after the last game. The reasson why Stars scored on PP was he went missing after the face off. Also his lack of quickness, not at the NHL level. Once in a while he gets a secondary assist. He has scored 3 goals so far, one was an accident when he overskated an empty netter, the other two were a 2 on 1 rebound and a nice deflection. Not good enough to be a regular for me.

To be fair, Pavelski interfered with him as he was trying to get out to the point.
