Made a great pass on the Marchand goal.... which was on the PP.

In a 5 - 1 win, being -1 as the top centre, 2 way centre still allows questions on his quality play. He NEEDS to be MUCH better.

And just 14+ minutes play ain't enough.

He needs to shoot, shoot, and shoot some more. That to me, is the part of his game that has nose dived. Lindholm can't seem to catch the puck on his stick and rip it on one timers in the bumper, slot, or anywhere really.

He could also have 10 less points, like if he was playing with Johnson and Frederic instead of alternating between Marchand and Pasta.

Could also have 10+ more if Marchand didn't start the season coming off injury and if Brazzeau was a legit top six rather than a pleasant (and seemingly fading) surprise for a tweener.

Elias could have at least 10 more points lots of missed chances due to puck luck. I think hes gonna catch up his on scoring now.

Based on the result..... he does not have the 10 additional points you are referring to.
Based on his play, he is not playing to expectation.
Although some here praise the merits of its exceptional 200 foot game, I don't see the elite in his current game. IMO he simply needs to be better.....

He’s starting to play his game. You can see he’s not fighting the puck as much any more and there is more fluidity in his skating. Typically a guy who signs in the offseason tend to have a better second half in their first season and then from year 2 and beyond, you see why the team signed him.

There were injuries and more drama than the Real World to battle through on top of being in a new city and organization.

I just think this guy hosed Sweeney and this contract is going to be a disaster

At least Zadorov is slowly coming around.
 
We have a busy household with kids practices, homework, meal planning, etc often going on when the Bruins games are on the tv....so granted, I am often not watching the Bruins with a discerning eye or in a position to appreciate all the nuance Elias has a reputation for bringing to the table. Still, its shocking to me how many times I will be in/out of watching the game, catching most of it, and not realize that Elias is even playing (or exists on the team) until sometime late in the 2nd or even the 3rd period. I frequently have to go the boxscore to look at TOI, surprised that he's been taking a regular shift.

His offensive game is poo right now. Last night was a perfect example. He was fine defensively for the most part, won some faceoffs, worked hard, but at the end of the day, felt like a non-factor, or, at least, a non-factor in relation to his contract.

I was a big fan of the signing, and I really hope it works out eventually, but it's not trending well right now. The Bruins really need him to be the 55-60 point guy most of thought we were getting.

On the flip side of things only 3 players are scoring at a 0.5 PPG pace. It's hard to tell if his lack of offense is part of the reason we are a poor offensive team or if being a poor offensive team is the reason for his lack of production.

Either way very disheartening knowing that this contract is likely only going to get worse as he ages.

Hope for one buyout in the new CBA.

Chicken and the egg on that one- I think he is affected by the poor offense, and is also part of the problem., like a bunch of his teammates. We are just over halfway, so there is time for him to redeem his season. I've thought his skill set boded well for a contract past 35, like Krejci and Bergeron (not comparing their games or ability here), if not he'll be a big boat anchor on the cap for too long.

His game translates very well to the playoffs. His goals come then and I'll judge this entire year (like I did when he came here to Vancouver) after it is complete. People were not impressed by his play last year in the regular season. Then he was a playoff clutch performer, only Boeser scored more goals, and only Boeser and Miller had more points.

Boeser GP 12 G7 A5 Pts 12
Miller GP 13 G3 A9 Pts 12
Lindholm GP 13 G5 A5 Pts 10

That thinking in other years would be fine because this team would be in the playoffs, not so sure that will be true this year, so he might not get his chance to strut his stuff.
