There’s a game tonight. No idea if Lindholm is ready to play with the B’s. Most of the hockey world is focused on the trade deadline so I haven’t seen any lineups from the morning skate.
I think they said he wouldn’t be playing until Thursday’s game.There’s a game tonight. No idea if Lindholm is ready to play with the B’s. Most of the hockey world is focused on the trade deadline so I haven’t seen any lineups from the morning skate.
Yes, this is what I read shortly after the trade was made, too. Debut Thursday night.I think they said he wouldn’t be playing until Thursday’s game.
Me too, but understandable given that Bergeron's out.Was kinda hoping to see McLaughlin
I don't think goalies should ever do anything more than play the puck unless they absolutely have to, I certainly don't. You could be the best puck handler as a goalie in the league and you are still by far the worst on the iceI don't think that I've ever seen a Bs goalie who was good at handling the puck.
I don't know, a goaltender who can play the puck like Brodeur or Hextall provides a great advantage.I don't think goalies should ever do anything more than play the puck unless they absolutely have to, I certainly don't.

Fair, but they are very rare, and from what I remember it was them being really good at passing out of the zone to speed up an attack. I'm more thinking about touch passes with opponents in the areaI don't know, a goaltender who can play the puck like Brodeur or Hextall provides a great advantage.
The fact that I couldn't think of a current good puck-handling goalie supports this statement. LOL.Fair, but they are very rare, and from what I remember it was them being really good at passing out of the zone to speed up an attack. I'm more thinking about touch passes with opponents in the area
This got me curious about goalie point totals. Tom Barrasso leads all goalies in assists with 48, Brodeur with 45. From 1950 on, 11 goalies have scored goals, Brodeur is the only one with multiple goals, 2. The active leader in assists is Quick with 20, MA Fleury with 19The fact that I couldn't think of a current good puck-handling goalie supports this statement. LOL.
Tom Barrasso -- there's a blast from the past. Seems like the Bs faced him 15 times a year. I would have guessed that Brodeur was the all-time points leader, never would have guessed Barrasso.This got me curious about goalie point totals.

I mean, all Barrasso had to do was settle the puck for Mario or Jagr and they kind of did the rest (I also imagine there was a lot of secondary assists that went: Barrasso, Coffee, Jagr/Lemieux).Tom Barrasso -- there's a blast from the past.

he also did it in almost 500 less games, 777 to Martin's 1266Tom Barrasso -- there's a blast from the past. Seems like the Bs faced him 15 times a year. I would have guessed that Brodeur was the all-time points leader, never would have guessed Barrasso.
That's a good point. And those Sabres teams he played for at the start of his career had some prolific goal-scorers, too.I mean, all Barrasso had to do was settle the puck for Mario or Jagr and they kind of did the rest (I also imagine there was a lot of secondary assists that went: Barrasso, Coffee, Jagr/Lemieux).
Wow, that's a crazy stat.he also did it in almost 500 less games, 777 to Martin's 1266
