He was fantastic in the playoffs last season and it appears he's picking up where he left off.

Unreal skater and passer to go with his size and range.

Now that Lindholm is playing for Boston he'll finally get the accolades that he deserved, and never got, for so many years playing for Calgary. Great 2-way center.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I thought he played it nicely.. puck carrier got in too deep and Clarke was able to find the receiver.

He didn't play it brutal like a lot of NHLers do, he did the right thing, but you could tell he wanted to just attack the puck carrier like he probably have have done in junior, or even te A, but he was able to keep himself in a decent position.

Virus ... Virus..... Virus

 

[Sheppy]

Pasta has goals in all 3 games and still looks so brutal. Can’t wait to see him shake the summer rust off. 50-55 goals could be attainable once again.

Lindholm was never "the engine" of that Calgary line. He was always clearly the "3rd wheel". He's just an outstanding 3rd wheel.

This is patently untrue

Yeah. Lohrei has all the tools to become a bigger, maybe even better Shea Theodore type impact player. Annoying that the Bruins just sorta found another guy under a rock like that or whatever.

This is patently untrue

It absolutely is not. Lindholm was always blatantly the "facilitator" 3rd wheel on that line. The two wingers were creating offensively, and Lindholm was always just supporting their play and giving them the leash to run wild. That's not to disparage what he brought to that line's chemistry and helping it gel as a unit...but clearly the third wheel.

 

[DoubleBack]

Bad penalty to add to what has been just a putrid game for Pastrnak.

Really, brought nothing to this game.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Really, brought nothing to this game.

Agreed, but at the same time but it does speak to his talent level that "dogshit" by his standard still somehow ends up with 3 goals in 3 games lmao.

It's like he spent the entire game coasting then decided "oh, i should probably do something now." Equal parts hilarious and infuriating.

100% infuriating, then he busts out a great play or goal. It's maddening.

Tkachuk was the third wheel. He had free rein to do whatever he wanted with Gaudreau as the primary puck carrier and Lindholm doing all the heavy lifting on defense. Tkachuk’s only job was to show up in the offensive zone

I mean, "do whatever he wanted offensively" was one of the two driving forces of that line and the insane scoring rate they produced. Lindholm was just there to...as you said, do the heavy lifting defensively...and mostly stay out of the Wingers' way offensively. I'd call that the clear "supporting piece" or "3rd wheel" to the line. It was clearly the two wingers creating the dynamic, offensive impact that the line was renowned for.
