Pre-Game Talk: Week of Trade Deadline, Please Stay Crosby, Sharts, and Leaves

[expatriatedtexan]

I've seen Lindgren play. Unfortunately, I've also seen every big hitter that comes to the Avs gets neutered. Do you remember the pent up absolute rage Footer felt in his last shift? Nearly two decades of being restrained by coaches in the NHL were suddenly dropped. The refs were just too flabbergasted to actually blow a whistle and it remains to this day, my absolute favorite Avalanche moment.

The question I have is, how many games before Lindgren gets suspended

Lindgren for a long time has reminded me of Ryan Wilson. Ironically enough, both guys try/tried to play a heavy game despite not having the size for it.

Lingren re-signed 3 x 3

Lingren re-signed 3 x 3

Wrong Lumbergh, I mean, Lindgren

He's never been suspended, and he did have a hearing after the Donskoi hit.

That's a good comp, let's hope he has a little more mileage left than Wilson lol.

Sauce was 6’1” 210 pounds. Certainly not small.

Bro can also drink like a dehydrated dog.

He’s not tall, but he looks thick and rugged with his gear on. Maybe like how LOC isn’t a big guy but he has the neck of Powdered Toast Man.

Hey guys, Rangers fan just peeking in, so feel free to tell me to GTFO.

You may want to temper your expectations on Lindgren. He's never been a physical force, and he's slowed down significantly over the last couple years. It isn't an exaggeration to say that the Rangers are better just by removing him from the lineup.

I hope he turns it around with you guys; he's a warrior for sure, and will lead with whatever body part he has to to block a shot. But I don't think he's an NHL defenseman anymore.
